The First Annual Liberty Party Picnic was held at Spanaway Park in June of 1932. Party members from Tacoma and other communities turned out in full force for the picnic as can be seen in the lower portion of the montage of photographs. The Liberty Party was an American political party in the early 1930's. It was founded on the economic theories of W.H. "Coin" Harvey. Harvey, at the age of 80, was its presidential candidate in 1932 and received 53,000 votes. Harvey was a wealthy, influential businessman and ran on the platform of monetary reform. There were 140 Liberty Party clubs organized in Washington State. Other views included Mount Rainier (called Mount Tacoma by locals), members with the American flag and participants of a Liberty Party float in a parade. G42.1-070
