Allende's
own Socialist
Party;
(c) carrying
out
propaganda
activities
against
the Marxist left;
and,
(d) assist-
ing
independent
groups
in support
of democratic'
candidates.
The election results
showed
that this
limited
program
had
been relatively
effective.
'
Ten of the' twelve
candidates
selected
for support
won their
races
including
a victory
in
one Senate race where
a leftist
victory
had been considered
,fi
almost
a certainty.
The support
provided
to'the
dissident
Socialist
group
was particularly
worthwhile
because its
52, 000 votes
deprived
Allende's
own Socialist
Party of a mini-
mun
of- 7 Congressional
seats, all of which
were
won
by moderate
candidates.
As
a result,
the regular
Socialist
ended
up with
only
19 Congressional
seats
.instead
of the 26-30 they
would
have. won.
