Title
Thompson
,
Carl
D
.
1910-11-26
Abstract
Copy
of
letter
from
Eugene
V
.
Debs
,
11/26/1910
.
Writes
that he
agreed
with what
Thompson
had to
say
in his
letter
dated
11/05/1910
except
for what he
wrote
on the
topics
of
labor
unions
and
immigration
.
Says
that he
thinks
that
it
is
disgusting
the
Victor
Berger
turns
himself
into a
laughing
stock
every
year
at the
convention
of the
labor
"
fakirs.
"
Tells
Thompson
that
Victor
Berger
is
an "
aristocrat
and not a
socialist
"
because
he
holds
the
common
man
in
much
contempt
.
Remarks
that
Victor
Berger
feels
as if he
is
made
of "
superior
clay
" and the
entire
socialist
movement
rests
upon
his
shoulders
alone
.
Mentions
that
Victor
Berger's
egotism
increases
as he
becomes
more
powerful
in the
socialist
movement
.
Writes
that
unlike
Thompson
he
thinks
that
Victor
Berger
will
eventually
foist
himself
upon
the
socialist
movement
as a "
dictator.
"
Informs
Thompson
that he
appreciates
Victor
Berger's
ability
and
energy
, but that he
is
opposed
to
anyone
tolerating
his
autocratic
behavior
.
Says
that
it
is
abhorrent
to have a
boss
in the
socialist
movement
because
there
is
no
place
for him in a
democratic
movement
of the
working
classes
.
Tells
Thompson
that in the
socialist
movement
everyone
is
supposed
to be
enlightened
enough
to be their
own
bosses
.
Says
that a
socialist
movement
dependent
upon
one
man
is
not a
socialist
party
at
all
.
Remarks
that he
once
heard
Victor
Berger
talk
to
Frederic
Heath
in a
way
that he would not
talk
to the "
mangiest
cur
"
fully
expecting
Frederic
Heath
to
take
his
wrath
with
debasing
obeisance
.
Writes
that
when
Victor
Berger
tried
to
deal
with him in a
similar
fashion
he
refused
to
let
him.
Tells
Thompson
that he
refuses
to be a
lackey
for
Victor
Berger
and that
is
the
reason
why
their
relationship
came
to a "
very
sudden
end.
"
Says
that
Thompson
should
formulate
a
program
to
challenge
Victor
Berger's
boss
rule
in
Milwaukee
,
Wisconsin
.
Assures
Thompson
that he would
back
him.
Informs
Thompson
that he has
no
ill
feelings
towards
Victor
Berger
he
just
feels
as
though
there
is
no
place
for
boss
rule
in the
socialist
movement
.
