Mr. Goldstein Is nm interesting
speaker. gifted with n keen, pene-
trating intellect, a marvellous flow
OF language. and trenchant, almost
cold-blooded way OF driving fact after
fact right home to his hearers. He
docs not mince words, and every SEN
tence he utters is given In way that
almost forces assent"

home city, Boston. He Is said to
havn CnCJu1tct

his subject. and his ability to discuss
1t at all angles"
Speaking Of Mr.. GoldsteIn's work
in San Francisco, the Monitor says:
There were 5000 people in
Dreamland pavilion last night. That
immense auditorium and its spacious
galleries was packed to the doors.
Hundreds were Obliged to stand:
many were turned away The sea OF
humanity that greeted the speaker
when he stepped forth must have
been an inspiring sight to him. To a
less courageous man the knowledge
that hundreds of his sworn enemies,
the Reds were also gathered there,
come to defy him and cry him down,
might have been disconcerting, to say
the least. But to Go1dstein; the more
the merrier.' There never was a.
crowd of Socialists big enough yet to
do anything but sharpen his wit the
keener and reinforce his daring all
the more.
"Goldstein's lecture was more than
la lecture. 1t was spectacle and
debate-one man against hundreds.
The afr was surcharged with the
electricity of the conflict. The dTa-
matte suspense was keener than in
the most breath1ess play. To see that
little Napoleon of the platform
marshaling his forces-ffacts, facts,
facts against the guerrilla warfare
OF his enemies, and mercllessly now
ling them down till they were datten-
ed like a wheathe1d after cyclone,
was an intellectual treat and a sports
mans Joy"
