FORMER SOCIALIST
NOW REPUBLICAN
George C. Porter Has Changed
Official Registration to '
the G. 0. P.
George C. TorterT former state
secretary of the Nebraska .socialists
and an active worker in the cause of
that party, declares himself now as
a republican. He has so changed
his official registration with the elec
tion commissioner. Mr. Porter first
found himself at outs with the policy
of the socialists about a year ago,
when the executive committee of the
party met at St. Louis and adopted
the declaration in regard to the war,
which resulted in many influential
men withdrawing from the party. He
was associatedin the group With John
Spargo and othets, but was alone in
the hall when the declaration was
adopted, then registering himself as
being opposed to it. Last fall, when
the Chicago conference for the pur
pose of forming a new national party
alone liberal lines was held, Mr.
Porter was one of the Nebraskans
in attendance.
He makes a statement of his posi
tion thus:
Present conditions Tactically oblige align
ment with either the republican or demo
cratlo party, or staying out ot the fight for
social Justice. I believe no American Is
loyal In the best sense who stays out of
the conflict.
Candor and due regard for ths opinions
of others oblige me to stats ray reasons
for seeking new political alignments. Frank
ly there has been no fundamental change
(ln my viewpoint on .economic questions. But
forcing new alignments and new obllga
ttons which must have a large influence
on practical politics. Party lines as meas
ures of men are today of small value.
1 believe it to be tha duty of every
citizen frankly to face conditions and to
aid In building under them, rather than
to. Vttsta time regretting that his dreams
are being fulfilled in a different way than
he hliustlf may have marked out forHhem.
1 believe more progressive legislation has
been enacted since the war began than in
previous decades. More progressive legisla
tion will be enacted and made effective ,lf
intelligent patriots, rather than patrloteers
and rofiteers or the mors openly disloyal
are elected to office. The opurtunlty to aid
now in selecting candidates at ths Nebraska
primaries is conditioned upon affiliation
either with the republican or democrat
party,
I am now aligning myself with ths re
publican party, because I believe there Is
a better chance for me to aid in advanc
ing progressive legislation by Joining my ef
forts with those made by the local group
of progressive republicans; that they now
constitute the strongest nucleus tor Such
work In this vicinity. Nationally I believe
President Wilson vlias received more ef
fective support for fundamental democracy
front the progrebsive group 01 republicans
than he has received front his own party.
It"" may be unnecessary to add that I
shall consider myself free to Work for
progressive's and progressiva issues, and
against reactionaries, regardless ot party

affiliation. Neither party has s monopoly
on tha progressive elements. Both are
cursed as neither should be by reaction
ary influences. I shall hold myself free In
ths future to work with any group to ac
complish what I believe to be the best serv
ice to ths nation, and especially for those
peopls In ths nation who have the heavier
burdens to bear and who ars at a dis
advantage In ths fight because of exhaustive
