the one hand, to alienate the vote of the 'furtive Socialists' by a propaganda which these may mistake for anarchism, the Socialist Party suppresses this vital revolutionary feature of socialism; on the other hand, afraid to forfeit the vote of floating, hence anarchistically tainted discontent, the Socialist Party has elected a notorious anarchist [ William D. Haywood ] to its National Executive Committee." Reimer and Gillhaus received 33,070 votes in the 1912 campaign. In 1913 he ran for governor of Massachusetts, only spending six cents, and again in 1914 with the Socialist Labor nomination both times. In the summer of 1914, Reimer was named the representative of the Socialist Labor Party to the International Socialist Bureau at the meeting of the Second International in Vienna, Austria.<ref>[http://www.slp.org/pdf/slphist/vienna_1914%20.pdf "Report of the Socialist Labor Party to the International Bureau in Vienna,] August 23–29, 1914.</ref> On April 29, 1916, he was given the Socialist Labor presidential nomination again by acclamation at the 1916 convention with Caleb Harrison as his running mate. During the 1916 campaign, Reimer and Harrison toured the country and during the campaign Reimer was thrown in jail for a time by the authorities of the mining town of Butte, Montana, for giving a speech on the streets without permission from city officials and was later given a $10 fine that was suspended, while his running mate Harrison suffered a similar fate in the steel city of Homestead, Pennsylvania. During the course of the 1916 campaign, the SLP produced and distributed 1.5 million leaflets in support of the socialist cause, en route to garnering 14,398 votes. Later years The Russian Revolution of 1917 exerted an enormous impact upon the membership of the Socialist Labor Party, as with all on the political left wing in America. A significant section of the SLP exited the party in the 1917–1919 period to join forces with the communist movement in the United States. According to one history, Arthur Reimer was among this group, joining his 1916 Vice Presidential running mate, Caleb Harrison, Buffalo, New York, druggist and party veteran Boris Reinstein, the late Daniel DeLeon's son, Solon DeLeon, and Dr. Julius Hammer of New York City. Another source, published in 1925 and edited by Solon DeLeon himself, contends that Reimer had not left the embrace of the SLP up to that date. Death and legacy Arthur E. Reimer died in 1969.
