fellow, for not only did he shirk his
duties as a soldier and flee from his native land to escape jail, but he
publishes a Socialist magazine in Mexico City in which he seeks to
deprive of life those who have as much right to it as he himself has; in
other words he is carrying on a campaign for race suicide. We quote from
the August, 1919, issue of his Socialist publication, known as "Gale's

Hysterical critics of the New York Assembly have accused the Judiciary
Committee of that body of accepting as evidence against the five
suspended Socialist Assemblymen every conceivable reproach against the
Socialist Party of America which could be scraped together out of its
entire history. An inquiry to ascertain the qualifications of Socialists
to make the laws of the land assuredly would be justif
