The annual conference of the SL on May 29th confirmed Morris as editor of the paper. H.H. Sparling replaced Belfort Bax as sub-editor.
Highlights of the year included Bax's debates on Socialism with Bradlaugh, and on the 'Morrow of the Revolution' with Paul Lafargue. Morris continued 'Socialism for the Root Up' with Bax, as well as completing 'John Ball' and a range of new articles, including 'How we Live and How we Might Live'. But after Morris's anti-parliamentary motion won a majority at conference, the Engels-inspired Bloomsbury branch centred on the Marx-Avelings began to distance themselves, which included contributing less to the paper.
