Series: 2. Branches/Committees, 1914-2011This series focuses on Socialist Party branches and committees. The Party
operated heavily by committee and this series contains documents from the
numerous committees created within the Socialist Party at all levels.
Branches were located all over the United States at the state and local
level. They were typically arranged in a hierarchical style where local
city, county or area branches would report to the larger state branch. At
each level there were governing committees and also subject committees. Some of the central national governing committees were the National Committee
(NC), the National Action Committee (NAC) and the National Executive
Committee (NEC). There were coordinating state and local governing
committees as well. For example, in Wisconsin there was a State Executive
Committee (SEC) and a State Executive Board (SEB). The types of records
included for these committees are mainly meeting minutes but also
correspondence, reports and some other miscellaneous documents. This collection includes some records from roughly nineteen state branches
but the records are primarily from the Wisconsin State Party and Milwaukee
area branches. Branch folder headings are assigned more geographically
because of varied names changes at the national level. In the larger
populated Milwaukee area, local branches were coordinated by the Milwaukee
County Central Committee (MCCC) but branches were additionally organized
even further by individual cities in Milwaukee County, common ethnic or
language backgrounds as well as by City of Milwaukee voting wards. These
smaller locals all reported to the MCCC. The MCCC also helped coordinate in
many areas in southeastern Wisconsin even outside of Milwaukee County. There were also committees assigned to subject areas for research, discussion
or investigation to advise the Party on. These committees existed at
national, state and local levels. The most common committees revolved around
issues such as workers’ rights and labor unions. These committees would come
and go and names would fluctuate over the years. The materials in these
folders contain minutes, agendas, fliers for events they sponsored, writings
or notes.

Series: 3. Campaigns/Elections, 1912-2012 : This series contains records from four main areas: general campaign
information by year, clippings, ephemera and Socialist Party presidential
campaigns. Much of this series focuses on Socialist campaign activity in the
Milwaukee area but does include materials from the Party’s presidential
campaigns. The general campaign information is arranged by year and it
contains a variety of correspondence, reports, writings and articles mainly
from local Milwaukee area campaigns and Socialist candidates running for
election. The clippings are also arranged by year with a few folders focused
on specific individuals. Both general campaign and clippings materials are
focused on the 1920s-1950s. Ephemera materials consist of Socialist
candidate posters, fliers, campaign cards and buttons. There are local
Milwaukee area candidates as well as some presidential or general Socialist
materials. The two campaigns with the most records are Frank Zeidler’s 1976
presidential campaign and David McReynolds’ 1980 presidential campaign.
Those areas include correspondence, reports, financial records, candidate
schedules, writings and publications. There is a small section on Norm
Thomas’ presidential campaign and Frank Zeidler’s Milwaukee mayoral
campaigns. There are also some general promotional blank ballots,
biographical sketches, reports, and a Wisconsin Progressive Party
scrapbook.

Series: 5. Correspondence, 1920-2011 : The National Secretary (NS) was a paid position central to the daily
operations of the Socialist Party at the national level. This person handled
all incoming/outgoing correspondence both internal and external, fulfilling
informational requests from the public, attending meetings, and taking and
distributing meeting minutes. At times there was also an additional paid
office staff member under the NS. In the early 20th century the NS position
was titled the Executive Secretary and was also assisted by an
Administrative Secretary, but the names changed sometime in the 1950s. While
this previous correspondence organization system was kept, additional
correspondence materials were added. Some correspondence from prominent
members has been pulled out and filed by names. Many of the same members
over time held a variety of officer positions including NS. The NS position
frequently turned over as it was a high stress position and interim or
temporary NSs were regularly added. Various other Party members and officers
also assisted temporarily over the years. As a result, a definitive list of
those who held this position is difficult. Frank Zeidler, National
Chairperson for some years, while the National Office was located in
Milwaukee, regularly helped answer general NS mail. : The correspondence series initially was partially organized chronologically
under the Socialist Party's National Secretary. It consists of original or
copies of letters, memos and notes generated or received by the NS. The NS
was regularly copied on letters to the main governing committees such as the
NC and the NAC as well as state and local Party reports and correspondence.
There is also a large correspondence section from the Socialist Party of
Wisconsin (SPWI), including Milwaukee, also consisting of original or copies
of letters and memos received or sent by the SPWI. It is organized similarly
as just general internal and external correspondence to the Party or its
officers. Kendrick (Rick) Kissell’s correspondence was previously separated.
Kissell held officer positions in the Socialist Party of Wisconsin,
Socialist International and as NS from roughly 1978-1983. This
correspondence is mainly prior to him as NS and is not related to his time
in that position.

Series: 9. Membership, 1914-2009 : This series includes member and branch applications, records regarding the
two separate formations of the “Debs’ Caucus”, membership handbooks, dues
information, election and referendum votes by officers, and members on
various issues. There are member/officer lists, mailing lists, directories
and a large card membership/directory file. The card directory file system
covers a few areas: Wisconsin county branch members, Milwaukee County branch
members by suburban cities, or other demographics such as gender or
ethnicity and then City of Milwaukee branch members organized by voting
wards. There is also a card directory file that appears to have been
originally organized by the member’s occupation, a listing of Milwaukee
election workers and the Wisconsin “Socialist Reserves”. These cards are
fire and water damaged presumably from the 1975 fire in the downtown
Milwaukee building where the Socialist Party, USA, Socialist Party of
Wisconsin and Socialist Party of Milwaukee shared an office.

Series: 10. Publications, 1910-2011 : The publication series includes mainly serial publications distributed by the
Socialist Party. Almost all the materials are newspapers and newsletters
targeting national, regional and local audiences. They are hand drawn,
typed, mimeographed or printed. Many are local or regional socialist
branch/group newsletters but there are national and international
publications as well. The Socialist Party national office was often included
in receiving copies of these, as well as involved in the creation and
distribution of these publications. They also actively collected
publications on socialist favored topics or from other socialist leaning
groups. Those topics include local, national and world politics, social
justice issues, labor unions/workers’ rights, other political parties or
movements, and socialism itself. There are some ethnic publications in other
languages, as indicated. For some newsletters of the local Socialist Party
branches, the state has been indicated if not obvious by the title. For some
of the larger publication runs like Socialist
Tribune and Hammer & Tongs,
there are additional folders on correspondence, draft writings, article
submissions from members, and miscellaneous documents.
