Series: 2. Branches/Committees, 1914-2011
Scope and Content Note

This 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
Scope and Content Note: 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
Biography/History: 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.
Scope and Content Note: 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
Scope and Content Note: 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
Scope and Content Note: 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.
