Quarles, Elizabeth M 1920-08-23
| Description: |
Letter from Theodore Debs, 8/23/1920. Writes that he has received Quarles request to have Eugene V. Debs speak to the members of the Wisconsin League of Women Voters. Assures Quarles that Eugene V. Debs appreciated the invitation but regrets that because of the abolition, by the present administration, of the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States that he will be unable to accept it. Remarks that Eugene V. Debs is not a new convert to suffrage. Mentions that as far back as 1878 Eugene V. Debs was instrumental in bringing Susan B. Anthony to Terre Haute, Indiana. Tells Quarles that he is taking the liberty of forwarding her letter to the Socialist Party national office so that arrangements can be made to have the vice-presidential candidate--Seymour Stedman--address the Wisconsin League of Women Voters. |
