Title	Herman, Ruby 1920-05-23
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs, 5/23/20. Says that she is writing to get Eugene V. Debs' opinion on forging a "United Socialist Movement in America." Tells Eugene V. Debs that she is the wife of political prisoner. Writes that many of the factional fights in the socialist movement have been "artificially induced by hired agents of the capitalist class." States that in her effort to unite the socialist movement Eugene V. Debs will be needed as a "nucleus" around which the "United Movement" would coalesce. Informs Eugene V. Debs that what he needed to do was to refuse to accept the nomination for President on any particular third party ticket and accept it in the name of all socialists. Says that since Eugene V. Debs has accepted the nomination in the name of the Socialist Party she has gone against the constitution of the Communist Party and supported Eugene V. Debs' candidacy for President. Writes that her action has been looked upon as an act of treason by the Communist Party. Asks that Eugene V. Debs write her a note saying that he approves of her unity campaign. Includes a form letter saying that their is a great need for a unified socialist movement.
