From The Butte Daily Bulletin of August 4, 1920:
DEBS STILL WORKING FOR RELEASE OF FELLOW MEN
—–(Special United Press Wire.)
New York, Aug. 4.-Added impetus to the movement to secure the release of all political and class war prisoners from the federal and state prisons has been noted here since the receipt of word from Eugene V. Debs, who requested that efforts of individuals and organizations in his behalf alone be ceased and energies turned to the release of all.
Debs, who is the nominee of the Socialist party for president, is undergoing imprisonment at Atlanta federal penitentiary for his struggles in behalf of the workers.
