One of Kraus's most influential satirical-literary techniques was his clever wordplay with quotations. One controversy arose with the text "Die Orgie", which exposed how the newspaper "Neue Freie Presse" was blatantly supporting Austria's Liberal Party's election campaign; the text was conceived as a guerrilla prank and sent as a fake letter to the newspaper ("Die Fackel" would publish it later in 1911); the enraged editor, who fell for the trick, responded by suing Kraus for "disturbing the serious business of politicians and editors".
