		The NPL's objective was political power for farmers, through an "inside strategy." That is entering the primary elections of the existing parties as non-partisans in order to "capture" that party and elect NPL candidates to office under the designation of one of the old parties.
		For their part, Buck and the other directors of the Labor Party were equally determined not to engage in "compromise or buncombe." They were willing to wait for electoral victory, even if it came as late as 1940, rather than be manipulated and dominated by the "wishy-washy" liberal agents of the ruling class (Shapiro: 418).
		The Labor Party movement was an effort to challenge the monopoly of the capitalist two-party system of politics in the United States and establish a mass party which interjected the interests of workers into the nation's political dialogue (Dobbs: 109).

		But they also line up on at the far ends of the political spectrum, Ellison to the left and Bachmann to the right, and the political pageants that selected them over the weekend are continuing a process of dividing the nation along strict interest-group lines.
		In Ellison's case, 219 party activists were seated as voting participants; in Bachmann's convention, the number was about 325.

	Hal Draper: Third-Party Trends (1947) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		This term “third party” is used here with its generally understood sense in liberal, radical and also Marxist circles: a third party with some pretension to liberalism or progressivism within the framework of capitalist ideology – a liberal third capitalist party.
		While the Communist Party itself is neither socialist nor working class in character, its policies have a big effect upon the orientation and action of the largest bloc of radical workers; and we have already pointed out that this weight is being swung in favor of a third party and against a labor party.
		A third party which arises under today’s conditions cannot be the same as a third party of the past – it must be based on the trade unions, if it is to be a serious movement.

		The farmers of those nationalities tended to be for state-owned grain elevators because they felt correctly that the monopolistic railroads and the big Minneapolis millers cheated the wheat farmers.
		He was legendarily popular in the state and privately planned on running for president on a third party ticket, after FDR second term would expire in 1940 where he would become a leader similar to Hitler and Mussolini.
		Always susceptible to the blandishments of others, Humphrey avoided trying to purge the lingering Communists in his party and inadvertently made them think he was a fellow leftist by maintaining a lovey-dovey relationship with former Vice President Henry A. Wallace who was forming a left-wing Progressive Party.

		State laws also limited the major party candidates to expenditures of $2 million each, so they could not drown out Ventura's ads (although their parties and allied political action committees were able to spend more).
		Ventura had no get-out-the-vote apparatus, but the drives mounted by the major parties and the unions probably turned out lots of people who voted for Ventura at the top of the ticket and who voted their party affiliation or union-endorsed candidates for the lower end of the ballot.
		Humphrey, the attorney general for 16 years and son of the late Vice President, is well-liked in Minnesota and he recently beat the tobacco companies in a big lawsuit, but he attracted little excitement.

		The strength of that showing certainly qualifies the party for ballot status and public financing in the 2006 election cycle, when the governorship and the U.S. Senate are again on the ballot.
		It is an unfair requirement that these two parties should be forced to field a candidate for president -- simply to retain their status as a major party under Minnesota law.
		In short, third parties, whether successful in terms of electing candidates or not, have often been highly effective in shaping the issues upon which campaigns are run and upon which elected officials are later obligated to make policy.

		The LN-PL was not intended to be the framework of a labor party.
		It is aimed primarily not at the Communist party – which has exerted itself so magnificently to prove that it is as conservative and as little to be feared as the ALP bureaucracy itself – but at the Socialist party.
		It is interesting to note that the Socialist party concerned itself greatly with the Labor party question even before the war – in 1909.
