Eric Jackson, on of two HRP City Council mem bers in Ypsilanti and a candi date for Washtenaw Count sheriff, believes that condition in the city were simply not fav orable for the growth of HRP. on i Milbrath calls himself a "po- litical skeptic" these days. Like' many others, he made his exit in 1975 "with the realization that there wasn't anything dy- namic going on." TO MILBRATH, the fateful election "was lost before it EN'S ' started; there just wasn't any support outside of the party regulars. When you have to start going to your phone lists and calling up old standbys, you begin to see you're not get- nel ting anything new - that your 75 days are numbered." 1733 Milbrath has also been an or- -0354 j ganizer in the Graduate Employ- II - - In the end, says Milbrath, "HRP suffered from the same kind of high - handed liberal-; ism we were trying to get away from in the first place - that thing of 'we know what's bestI for you whether you like it or not."' But not everyone in Ann Ar bor has deserted the embat- tled third party. And by no means have all the people who did leave jump happily into the arms of the Democrats. SALEXANDER OFFERS a rough breakdown: "After our last major bat- -r -I into union organizing; man'y, like Milbrath, into GEO, many into the municipal transporta- tion union. Some have defect- ed to community action pro- grams such as Local Motion. And a handfulof stubborn holdouts - ideologically "pure" and cleansed of fair - weather friends - have remained in the party, which has been re- named the Socialist Human Rights Party (SHRP). But if HRP is (as many be- lieve) finished in Ann Arbor, it is flourishing in other parts "IN ANN ARBOR politics both radical and establish- ment - there is a certain ele ment of elite intellectualism Between any three peopl there's at least two factions Ann Arbor HRP got so involv ed in ideological disputes thai they lost their roots in the electorate." Jackson says he still has a la of faith in the party's ability tq survive. "You have to remember we'r a statewide organiation," h asserts. "We may have molde in Ann Arbor, but we're doing better and better in Ypsilanti and Lansing, and we're organiz= ing very well in the U. P. I bugs me sometimes that people call HRP a thing of the past just because of what happened to a single chapter." But the fact remains that large number of old-time HRP radicals have found a home ir the less fossilized corners of the Democratic Party, and are hopeful about the future.
