Five Socialist Assembly Members Re-elected Then Expelled Again
Five Socialist assemblymen De Witt Orr Waldman Claessens and Solomon were re elected in a special election after being fired earlier. They sat in Albany one day before three were expelled again and the remaining two resigned. The piece questions who informed the assembly that the Socialist Party had abandoned its principles and mocks the party over Liberty Bond sales and saloon politics.
