Title	Wentworth, Lydia G. 1920-11-12
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs, 11/12/1920. Says that Eugene V. Debs is dear to the hearts of thousands of people. Writes that she is glad to know that Eugene V. Debs is in fairly good health. Tells Eugene V. Debs that she is surprised that so few people in power are able to learn the lessons of history. Says that she does not know why the people in power are doing what they are to Eugene V. Debs and the other political prisoners. Remarks that Norman Hapgood and John Haynes Holmes argue that there is no such thing as a public opinion in America. Writes that she disagrees with them. Tells Eugene V. Debs that she believes that there will be a wave of protest that will result in the release of the political prisoners. Mentions that this idea led her to write a letter to the BOSTON HERALD, which refused to publish it. Writes that she is looking forward to better times. Expresses the hope that the revolution will be gradual and bloodless. Includes a letter to the editor of the BOSTON HERALD saying that a sizable vote for Eugene V. Debs will show just how much protest there is over his imprisonment. Writes that Eugene V. Debs' imprisonment is a "short-sighted policy."
