“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play.

—Walter Wellesley (Red)

“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
