Due to its literary pedigree leading back to the 1880s, the PLS called itself an "historic party". Tributes for the writer extended into other areas of party activity: the PLS motto was "Caragiale e cu noi!" ("Caragiale is with us!"); its hymn ended with another paraphrase from "O scrisoare...": "Trădare fie, dar s-o știm și noi!" ("Let's have betrayal, but let's be aware of it!"). Its official tribune, founded by Andronic and called "Răcnetul Carpaților" ("The Roar of the Carpathians", after Cațavencu's fictional gazette), ran fragments from Caragiale's political satire as genuine political news and commentary. Reviving Cațavencu's rhetoric, perceived enemies of the party where addressed as "reprobabili" ("detestable people"), and allies as "venerabili" or "stimabili" ("venerable" or "esteemed people").
