Kelly, Edmund. Practical programme for working-men. $1. Scribner.

“After discussing the influence of environment upon man, and pointing out the evils of private property and competition on the one hand and the present impracticability of ‘orthodox’ Socialism on the other, he makes an amazing suggestion, viz., that the ‘unwealthy’ classes organize in order to secure a candidate for the next Presidential election, possibly absorbing the Democratic party! The ‘practical programme’ itself is then discussed, and a nationalization and municipalization of industries is considered expedient in opening the road to coöperation.”—Dial.
“As a theoretical discussion the book has some merit. It is pretty weak as a practical program.”
