Critics say Russell used war talk to push socialism at Rolfe
The letter-writer defends Chas Edward Russell as a skilled speaker while accusing him of deceiving Rolfe’s audience by framing a war talk as co operation. They argue socialism would undermine farmers co operatives and warn that pro or anti prohibition debates at chautauquas distort public discourse. Mayors and bankers training in Plattsburg are cited as patriotic examples.
