Excerpt from My Eighty Years
So it went on till Blatchford was nominated as the Socialist candidate for East Bradford. Then Mr. Hulton put his foot down. He wasn't going to stand any more of this damned Socialism. We'll have to start a paper of our own. Come on out of it. We had no money. I was drawing a big salary. Mr. Hulton offered me more to stay. It was altogether very inconvenient. My family didn't like giving up our big house in Manchester to take lodgings in a railway-porter's cottage. There were domestic differences. But there was Socialism, and there was Blatchford with his masterful, irresistible faith. Of course I came out of it.
