Title	Putnam, Frank 1925-04-01
Abstract	Letter to John G. Sargent, 4/1/1925. Writes that he is sorry that Sargent will not recommend to Calvin Coolidge that Eugene V. Debs's citizenship rights should be restored. Tells Sargent that it is the right of the American people, as set forth in the Constitution, to "freely discuss the public acts and policies" of their government. Informs Sargent that Congress violated the Constitution when it created a law that led to the arrest and conviction of Eugene V. Debs for "peacably assembing with his friends to discuss the public acts and policies of their public servants." Assures Sargent that Eugene V. Debs committed no crime but instead had a crime committed against him. Writes that Sargent should realize that it would be "politically profitable" to restore Eugene V. Debs's citizenship rights.
