Anarchists Still Cheer Czolgosz

     Chicago: President McKinley’s assassin was again cheered publicly. A challenge from the platform that anarchists dared not condone the crime at Buffalo was met with a vigorous “you’re a liar.” Abraham Isaak, the leader of the “Reds” in this city, and editor of “Free Society,” declared openly he could not condemn the assassin’s act. It was the climax of the debate on “Socialism vs. anarchy,” and came when the audience of over 1,000 had been aroused thoroughly by wild oratorical denunciations.
     “Hurrah for Czolgosz,” shouted a man in the gallery, swinging his hat above his head. Hisses, jeers, yells of applause and catcalls came from all parts of the house. The crowd rose to its feet and a riot was narrowly averted.
