Title	Solomon, U 1915-12-17
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs on New York State Socialist Party letterhead, 12/17/1915. Says that he is writing to ask Eugene V. Debs to reconsider his decision not to serve as the Socialist Party's candidate for President in the upcoming election. Tells Eugene V. Debs that although he was initially against having Eugene V. Debs serve as the Socialist Party's candidate a 5th time that he now wants Eugene V. Debs to accept the nomination because his choice, Charles Edward Russell, has come to take an unacceptable position regarding the question of preparedness. Says that each of the remaining candidates "lack the chief qualifications to be the standard bearer of the party." Assures Eugene V. Debs that the 1916 campaign will be a failure unless there is someone leading the party who "not only has the confidence and good will of the membership, one who personifies all that is high and noble in our movement, but above all, one who can instill enthusiasm in our ranks and fire the hearts of the comrades with a renewed hope for the justice of our cause, the cause of International Socialism." Says that Eugene V. Debs is needed to fill this role. Remarks that if he accepts the nomination that the comrades in New York would be eternally grateful.
