History

edit

The party was formed in 1904 from a previous socialist club and joined the SPC in April 1905, with around 50 members.[1][2][3] The membership would grow soon afterwards to near 100 people.[4][5][6] They were headquartered on Front Street in Dawson City.[7] The party/branch would host events in the city hall and sell cigars as a means of self-sustaining.[8] During the 1905 Russian Revolution, the party raised funds for the revolutionaries.[9] The group did not run candidates for the elections (territorial or federal), its primary purpose was educational.[1]
