...contrast with this contention is the attitude of John Spargo as reflected in a published letter. Mr. Spargo's words should doubtless be weighed in the light of his antecedents: He was born in Cornwall, and early became a Socialist. He came to the U. S. in 1901 and rose to a place on the National Executive Committee of the Socialist Party. In 1917, he resigned from that Party as a protest against its anti-War policy. He is known as a strong opponent of Bolshevism, and now raises bees and flowers at his home, "Nestledown," in Vermont...

Wigglesworth '12, one of the back-field coaches, is included. There are many illustrations of the team getting into shape and of the different members of the squad which made...
...Fundamentally," said Senator Watson, "there is no difference between Socialism and Bolshevism." John Spargo and Charles Edward Russell, take notice; you have each written a book against the Government of Lenin and Trotzky, but fundamentally you are Bolsheviks. "Men ought not to be selected to represent the Government," says Senator Watson, further, "who are against all government." The inference is that the "Bolsheviks" Senator Watson has discovered in the Federal Trade Commission are against all government--i.e., that they are Anarchists. Lenin, who consistently anathematizes the "bourgeois," says they are the Anarchists; but Lenin's view does not count...
