Socialists Decry Election Choices

Three socialist speakers attempted to decide last night how U.S. socialists should vote in the 1964 Presidential election. The only thing they could agree on was to oppose Senator Goldwater.

Edward Shaw, vice-presidential candidate of the Socialist Workers Party, said that both President Johnson and Senator Goldwater would continue the "United States" war for economic domination of the world." The only significant difference between the two candidates, he claimed, is that Johnson seen the Communist threat as external while Goldwater feels the Communists are boring from within.

While agreeing with Shaw, Arthur MoIwen 2G urged that American socialists vote for Johnson so that they can gain influence in the United States.

Russ Nixon, editor of the National Guardian, stated he would not vote for any Presidential candidates. Although he described both Johnson and Goldwater as "rightist," Nixon said that third-party candidates had no chance of election.
