Goebel, George 1912-08-13
| Description: |
Letter from Eugene V. Debs, 8/13/12. Writes that Goebels letter dated 7/29/12 was weak and evasive. Says that he has received mostly letters supporting his position in the J. Mahlon Barnes controversy. Mentions that he has only received four letters which criticize him. Tells Goebel that the pro-Barnes faction has gotten its point of view across in the socialist press. States that the referendum was inevitable and that his statement was no more responsible for getting it seconded than anything else. Informs Goebel that he cannot believe that he is not at all affected by the situation Jane Keep is in. Says that he must sympathize with Keep because just like the prostitutes for whom he used to pay their court fines when he was Terre Haute, Indianas City Clerk he cannot bear to see a woman in plight. |
