...trustees sent no acceptance, as it was in response to a demand,--and simultaneously appeared in the Chicago papers an article by Dr. Hodgdon claiming that because he was a loyal American he had been forced from his position at Valparaiso University by the pressure of Bolshevist and Communist organizations in that institution...
...unduly neglectful of one of their most ardent votaries-- Deputy Misiano of the Italian Parliament. During the War, Misiano resided is Switzerland for his health; but the Italian government was so unsympathetic as to brand him as a deserter from the army.

Konikow, the speaker for the Communist Labor Party, showed that the modern state existed solely because of the existence of classes and that there could be no real democracy until classes ceased to exist. She called upon the capitalists, who control the people today, to admit frankly that we have no democracy and upon the Socialist Party to stop deceiving the people by showing the possibilities of Parliamentary action, which, she claimed, was obviously impossible because capitalists and present conditions were against it. The communists were followers of Karl Marx in desiring through direct action the dictatorship...
