...prepared to fight all summer if necessary. The Citizens' Committee of Passaic would like to see Albert Weisford out of the way, so they bellow "Communist" at him. Communist though he may have been; he keeps silent about it. He is a clever organizer rather than a demagog, a cynic rather than a blithering reform zealot. Yet on the platform he can twist the emotions of the masses with his vibrating voice, his puny, gesticulating hands, his restless pacing up and down...
...Dictator. Subsequent dispatches proved Pilsudski no demagog anxious to become a dictator. He recognized M. Rotaj, President of the Diet, as President of the Republic - which he constitutionally became upon the resignation of President Wojciechowski. M.

None the less, Mussolini had him made a lawyer so that he might defend the slayers of Matteotti (TIME, March 22). The rude mechanic from Abruzzi secured the virtual whitewashing of his clients from an Abruzzi Fascist jury (TIME, April...
...unprecedented Liberal victory. "Nothing more than trouble and trial await me," said the Queen. He came back to power?not the old Gladstone of Christ Church, Oxford, but the new Gladstone; who, little as he could have dreamed it, was the forerunner of the pre-War Lloyd George, Liberal demagog...
