In the 1909 Persian legislative election, they won 4 seats and allied with the Moderate Socialists Party against Democrat Party.[3]

The party's line had little resemblance to that of the Young Turks and contained some socialist demands. Most of the party's supporters were active in the countrysides.[3]
