The organization was deeply split between two hostile groups. On one side was a so-called "administration faction", represented by the party's national officials, such as Henry Kuhn, Henry Vogt and Lucien Sanial; and the editors and staffs of the official party publications, "The People" (English) and "Vorwärts" (German). This Regular faction included most prominently Daniel DeLeon, editor of "The People" and the single most influential individual inside the party. Against their continued reign stood an opposition faction, centered on the independently owned German-language socialist daily, the "Newyorker Volkszeitung", the editor of which was Alexander Jonas.
