"I have searched out <strong>the</strong> records and <strong>the</strong>y show that mobs trailed Charles A.<br />

Lindbergh Sr. during his 1918 campaign for <strong>the</strong> Republican nomination for<br />

<strong>the</strong> Minnesota governorship. He was arrested on charges <strong>of</strong> conspiracy<br />

along with <strong>the</strong> Non Partisan Leaguers; a rally at Madison, Minn. was broken<br />

up with firehoses; he was hanged in effigy in Red Wing, dragged from <strong>the</strong><br />

speaker's platform, threatened with lynching, and he escaped from town<br />

amid a volley <strong>of</strong> shots."<br />

Salisbury neglects to mention that a squad <strong>of</strong> Federal<br />

agents from <strong>the</strong> Bureau <strong>of</strong> Investigation, led by J. Edgar<br />

Hoover on his first important action, attacked Lindbergh<br />

and his family, dragged out all <strong>the</strong> copies <strong>of</strong> Lindbergh's<br />

"Your Country at War", and burned <strong>the</strong>m on <strong>the</strong> lawn;<br />

when young Charles rushed forward to stomp out <strong>the</strong><br />

fire, Hoover knocked him down.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> summer <strong>of</strong> 1917, Woodrow Wilson named Col.<br />

House to head <strong>the</strong> American War Mission to <strong>the</strong> Inter-<br />

Allied War Conference, <strong>the</strong> first such American mission<br />

to a European council. With House were his son-in-law,<br />

Gordon Auchincloss, and Paul Cravath, Kuhn Loeb's<br />

lawyer. Auchincloss was director <strong>of</strong> Chase Natl. Bank,<br />

Solvay, S<strong>of</strong>ina, and Gross & Blackwell.<br />

Meanwhile, Walter Lippmann and ano<strong>the</strong>r group were<br />

busily working on <strong>the</strong> plans for <strong>the</strong> League <strong>of</strong> Nations.<br />

Lippmann had founded <strong>the</strong> American branch <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Fabian Society in 1905 as <strong>the</strong> Intercollegiate Socialist<br />

Society, which later became <strong>the</strong> Students for a<br />

Democratic Society after a period when it was known as<br />

<strong>the</strong> League for Industrial Democracy. James T. Shotwell<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r internationalists worked with Lippmann on this<br />

organization.
