Dennis quickly gathered a group of members of the California Labor Party and aggressively attacked the Knights of Labor two blocks away.

Unlike the deserted atmosphere of theirs, it was crowded with people.

On a small table improvised from boxes, Hawley was giving his talk:

"The situation is grim today, the enemy is strong, and they are trying to divide us by all means! Disintegrate us! ”

"We can only unite all the forces that can unite! In order to make yourself have the capital to be able to fight against them! “

"It's not without success, at the coal mine in Shiquan Township, we have increased the pay of workers and achieved an eight-hour workday!"

"A little further afield, in New Mexico, the land we once thought of as the frontier, is rising, where workers are taking more, living better, living with more dignity."

Hawley's speech was passionate and easy to understand.

Dennis and his men stood at the back of the crowd and watched him coldly finish his speech, and received a round of applause.

The workers gradually dispersed.

Dennis walked up with the people:

"What do you mean? Smash my field? “

Hawley was communicating with Duncan when he heard this and looked up.

"What's wrong? Are you only allowed to talk nonsense, and I am not allowed to spread ideas? Hawley asked with a smile.

"You can fool others, can you fool me?" Dennis narrowed his eyes and looked at Hawley, who was smiling harmlessly, "Do you think that with the help of those Chinese workers, you can subvert the dominance of white people in the labor movement?" ”

"It's narrow-minded." Hawley shook his head, "I respect you as a senior, but please don't use the 'heart of a villain to live in the belly of a gentleman'." ”

"It's a proverb from China." He added.

"Hmph, witty word after word, are you going to Harvard?" Dennis didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer.

"You'd better be careful, I'm not Cronin, I'm not the Workers' Party, and if you want to treat us the way you treat them, you're going to be met with the most brutal counterattack!"

He finished his harsh words and prepared to leave.

However, suddenly someone stopped him from behind.

"Mr. Dennis! I've heard that you're not willing to accept my request for a duel, so what about the debate? Do you dare to start a debate with me in front of the court? ”

Dennis turned his head to find a Chinese man in a suit, with black hair and yellow skin, walking out from behind Hawley.

Compared with other Chinese workers, he appears to be polite and polite.

He was a little confused.

He didn't seem to have seen this person before, but he seemed to know himself.

"My name is Wang Qingfu, sir, and I am the one who challenged you in the Boston Post, and I came to San Francisco from New York across the whole of America to find you."

Dennis snorted:

"You don't deserve to argue with me, you're just an inferior person who eats rats."

"Mr. Dennis, why don't you have a debate, our readers want to see it." The San Francisco Pravda reporter who interviewed him yesterday didn't know where it came from.

"I'm looking for you everywhere!"

When he saw the reporter, Dennis immediately became angry, he stepped forward and grabbed the reporter by the collar.

"Let go." The reporter stared at him coldly.

"Why are you writing nonsense everywhere? Did you take their black money? Dennis pointed to Holly and Wang Qingfu.

"No, why should I take them money?" The reporter did not have the slightest fear, "Why did I tell you when I wrote this?" ”

In fact, he just wanted the newspaper to be more interesting and sell more newspapers.

Mr. Hanif from the Border Detective Agency provided him with clues here.

Journalists just write as they normally would.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with him doing that.

"I don't believe it!" Dennis still wouldn't let go, "You newspapers can do anything for money, and San Francisco reporters don't have a good thing." ”

Dennis hadn't read much, and he barely read enough to read a newspaper.

He now deeply regrets letting this reporter interview him.

"Let go, Dennis!" Hawley took two steps forward.

The Workers' Party members behind Dennis also leaned in.

Tension on both sides.

Dennis glanced left and right, still loosening the reporter's collar.

He patted the reporter's clothes: "Very good, very good, I have found the Labor Knights as a backer, let's see." ”

After glaring at the reporter, Dennis left with the Workers' Party.

Hawley walked up to the reporter: "Are you alright?" ”

"It's fine." The reporter stared at Dennis's distant back and said hatefully, "Let me see?" He deserves it too! ”

Dennis walked on the way back, discussing with the people around him how to deal with the Knights of Labor.

He was completely unaware of the seriousness of offending the American media in this day and age.

As an undereducated Irish underclass, he was too ignorant of the terrible and cautious eyes of those journalists.

Over the next few days, Dennis, the leader of the Workers' Party, said that "nothing good is a San Francisco journalist," and the phrase spread throughout the San Francisco media circle.

Thus, the verbal and written criticism of Dennis began.

Dennis once again evaded a duel with Mr. Wang Qingfu! He's in a terrible state of mind, claiming he can eat rats!."

"Dennis is at the bottom of the head-to-head showdown with Moody, the new leader of the California Knights of Labor, so he decides to resort to violence!."

All sorts of rhetoric abounded, as newspapers spread throughout the city.

At first, it was just the San Francisco Pravda reporter and his colleagues who were dissatisfied with Dennis and launched an attack.

But as more and more reports were published, everyone suddenly found that the name "Dennis" had become a hot topic.

As long as it is related to it, the citizens love to read it, and the newspaper sells very well.

He is the "top stream" of San Francisco at this stage!

The editor-in-chief of the San Francisco newspaper was ecstatic.

They don't have to worry about running out of things to write anymore!

Sent a reporter to interview, but was kicked out by Dennis and the members of the Workers' Party.

Good! Tomorrow's headlines are here.

Dennis and his California Labor Party are a cancer growing in San Francisco! They brazenly attacked journalists who dared to reveal the truth! ”

But there is also a queue to be driven.

Therefore, the excavation of Dennis's own character began to be carried out gradually.

Journalists used their connections and resources to dig up Dennis's history and gossip from childhood to adulthood.

Denise was born into a poor Irish family and only attended elementary school, his father was an alcoholic who often beat him and instilled in him the idea of violence from an early age"

When he came to San Francisco, he rented a house and his wife was a young woman who lived alone."

By the end of what was written in the newspaper, it was completely impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Something that even Dennis himself didn't know appeared in the newspapers.

When he held another rally, Dennis found that there were not many workers who had come, most of them were newspaper reporters.

No one wanted to listen to him talk about the Chinese.

I've been talking about it for more than ten years, and it's so boring.

"Mr. Dennis, why don't you tell me about you and the landlady back then?" A reporter shouted from the periphery.

As soon as his words fell, there was a chorus of echoes around him.

"Get out! Get out of here! ”

Dennis was hysterical and furious.
