Sinclair, Upton 1920-11-13
| Description: |
Letter to Theodore Debs, 11/13/1920. Says that he does not share Theodore Debs hope that Eugene V. Debs will be released from prison. Writes that he does not expect either Woodrow Wilson or Warren Harding to relent. Informs Theodore Debs that he thinks that only way that Eugene V. Debs will be released is by using the tactics of the womans party, the militant suffragettes. Remarks that only when 50 people picket the White House, go to jail, and start a hunger strike that Eugene V. Debs will be released from prison. Mentions that he made a suggestion similar to this in the pages of the APPEAL TO REASON. Tells Theodore Debs that he has not followed up on the matter because his place is writing for the movement not leading it. Says that orders for DEBS AND THE POETS are coming in with rapidity. |
