The New Zealand Labor Party
The New Zealand Labor party came into being after years of indecision and disunity, and many false starts. The history of this movement lies outside the scope of this article, but a brief discussion of the basic cleavages which divided labor before 1916, and of the circumstances under which the party was organized, may help to clarify some of the points in the analysis of its present-day structure and problems which is attempted in the pages ahea…

The Australian Party System
The Australian Labor Party
In The Politics of Equality, Leslie Lipson points out that modern party organization has "exorcised some of the old devils from the body politic but has invoked others that are new and, as yet, untamed." Applying to parties John Dewey's statement that"Individuals can find the security and protection that are prerequisites for freedom only in association with others-and then the organization these associations take on, as a measure of securing the…
The Negro's Struggle for Participation in Primary Elections
Presidential Campaign Funds, 1944
The 1944 campaign was the second presidential election in which the ceilings of the Hatch Act were operative, and the first campaign in which contributions from labor organizations were prohibited. It furnishes convincing evidence of the ineffectiveness of these limitations and of the imperative need for complete revision of existing regulations of campaign funds.The financing of the 1944 campaign was subjected to close study by special committee…

Campaign Finance in the Presidential Election of 1940
Important changes in the regulations governing receipts and expenditures of party committees, enacted in the summer of 1940, make a study of the financing of the presidential election of that year particularly interesting and significant. "Hatch Act II," designed primarily to extend to certain state and local employees limitations upon political activities already imposed upon federal office-holders by "Hatch Act I," introduced a number of radica…
Direct Primary Legislation, 1936-1939
The passage of mandatory, state-wide, direct primary laws in Utah and New Mexico within the last four years leaves only two states which retain the convention method of making nominations for all state offices.The Utah act of 1937 applies to all national, state, and local officers. Any party which polled two per cent of the total vote cast for representative in Congress at the last election, or which files a petition signed by at least 500 qualif…
Labor'S Political Contributions
Campaign Funds in the Presidential Election of 1936
A study of the financing of the 1936 campaign is particularly interesting since it may show what, if any, effect the "New Deal" program has had upon political alignments. Eventually, any radical shift in the support of a political party must be reflected in the sources from which it draws its campaign funds.In 1928, both major parties depended largely upon bankers and manufacturers for their contributions, although the Republicans received a larg…
Direct Primary Legislation in 1934-35
Although few important changes have been made in the laws regulating primary elections during the last two years, some of those which have been made are novel and may foreshadow interesting future developments.The year immediately preceding a presidential campaign usually brings some changes in the presidential primaries, and 1935 was no exception. North Dakota has repealed its presidential primary provisions, and in Oregon repeal was voted by th…

Campaign Funds in a Depression Year
The presidential campaigns of 1928 and 1932 are a study in contrasts. In 1928, the United States was at the peak of the boom period; the incumbent Republicans were confident of victory; and the result was a Republican victory which "broke" the Solid South and swept all but two states outside that section into the Republican column. The 1932 campaign was fought in the midst of depression and disaster; confidence was with the Democrats for the firs…
