They hate him as a Socialist. They hate him as an I. W. W. sympathizer. They hate him as a "free love" cultist. They hate him as a Single Taxer. They hate him as an atheist. And last week they hated him most of all because...
...heard promises of bigger and better meetings along this line; it had gazed at, read and reread a huge banner in the front of the hall which bore the inscription "German People in America! Awake!"
