Public activism Stand was president of the Zionist organization in Galicia and stood as a candidate in a parliamentary by-election in 1906. Stand obtained 454 votes, but was defeated by Joseph Gold (who won with 850 votes). The election was marred with irregularities. 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, despite being a reactionary, represented the lesser evil of the two run-off candidates.
