Abstract

Meitzen and his sons, E. R. and Arnold, joined the Socialist Party in 1904, but Meitzen resigned after winning an election to serve as county judge. In Texas, Otto Meitzen's son, E. O. Meitzen, worked within the Farmers' Alliance and was a statewide leader of both the People's Party and the later Socialist Party. E. R. in particular belonged to a left-wing faction of the Socialist Party opposed to Victor Berger's top-down leadership, and the Meitzens and their left-wing allies emerged victorious in their battle for control of the Texas Socialist Party.
