Adolf Stand

Adolf Stand (1870 - 1919) was a Jewish politician in Austria-Hungary. Stand, president of the Zionist organization in Galicia, stood as a candidate in a parliamentary by-election in 1906. Stand obtained 454 votes, defeated by Joseph Gold (who won with 850 votes). The election was, however, marred with irregularities.^[1] In the 1907 elections to the Austrian parliament, the first to be held with universal suffrage, Stand won the Brody seat as a candidate of the Jewish National Party. In total Stand obtained 2,585 votes in a run-off against Wollerner. He had obtained the support of the Jewish Social Democratic Party, who argued that Stand whilst being a reactionary represented the lesser evil of the two run-off candidates.^[2]
