Preface In recent years the energies and intelligence of statesmen and thinkers in the whole civilized world have been directed to the creation of a governmental apparatus which is susceptible to change in accordance with the ever-changing conditions and facts of life. It was sought to create processes by which the complex interests in society may express their will and affect their purposes. We, in the United States, felt sure that we possessed that instrument. Ours was a Constitutional Representative Government, carrying within it the possibility of its own change and modification, thus being an adequate agency for peaceful social progress. We were proud of this fact. This instrument has been brutally assaulted. It has been badly damaged, if not completely destroyed. The story of this assault is contained in the following pages. The characters of the assailants, the forces and interests back of them, the nature of the assault, and the defenders of representative government, are all described. There are four episodes to this story: The suspension; the reaction of the country and of the world to the suspension; the trial, and the expulsion. The suspension took place on January 7, 1920. The trial began January 20 and ended March 11. The expulsion took place March 31, 1920. Between January 7and March 31 enough had happened to fill many, many volumes.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
