“This is the story of the suspension, trial and expulsion from the New York State legislature of the five Socialist assemblymen. It was written by one of the expelled members. It is an ex parte report of the case, to which an introduction is supplied by one of the attorneys for the defense.”—R of Rs

“The illustrations scattered through the volume might well have been omitted, partly because they are copies of cartoons and partly because they are poorly done. The introduction by Seymour Stedman is lucid and interesting.”

“Written by one of the victims of the injustice, the book is of course extremely partisan. Yet if one may judge from a generous reading of the newspaper accounts of the trial, it is fairly representative. The proofreading is poor, and there are further evidences of undue haste in preparation and printing. But for all that it is a book well worth anybody’s reading and reflection.” W. J. Ghent
