Update 14-09 • March 2, 2014. 

Fourteen new files, the bulk of which center on the year 1915. 

 

Of particular interest is a piece on C.E. Russell's Nov. 29, 1915 endorsement of Woodrow Wilson's "Preparedness" efforts and the effective scuttling of his own likely nomination as the Socialist Party's 1916 Presidential nominee resulting from this contrarian perspective on war and militarism. Another dose of Debsiana is included, including four published articles and a letter.

New Files Update no. 14-07 • February 16, 2014.

Ten new files.

Primary attention this week is on the establishment of the Social Democratic Federation of the United States of America, the Old Guard faction's parallel national organization to the Socialist Party of America that was established in 1937 and eventually reunified with a much-more-conservative Socialist Party in 1957.
