Theirs was a hard lot, bringing up that fami­ ly. Work and worry left indelible marks. Henry* Otto, Robert, Hugo had come of age; the others would soon be there. The boys had become men, the two sisters grown to handsome womanhood. All and each had a way of its own *. Brother Henry was now a mirror plate silverer with The Milwaukee Mirror and Art Glass works on East YJater street* Henry was engaged soon to be married to Elizabeth Poiron of the Sherman Street Metho­ dist church. He had organized and was directing a band and orchestra* Brother Otto was married to Abbie Holbrook of the Garfield Avenue Baptist church. They had tW<2> children, Myrtle,three and Byron the baby. They lived in mother's cottage, next to our home* Otto's father- in-law, Byron Holbrook, was the patentee of a tan-bark leaching pro­ cess. Mr* Holbrook had his shop at the foot of East Water street and taken Otto into the firm as junior partner. Upon Holbrook1s death, Otto became his successor. Brother Robert, the sturdiest of us boys, became a blacksmith. He worked at the Chas Abresh company on Fourth and Poplar street;and being fond of horses, aimed to be a horseshoer. But the uncertainties of industrial setups play havoc with his dreron. Still his experience with wrought iron served him well when later he became a metal pattern maker. / Robert kept company with Mabel Patterson of Sherman Street Metho- dist church. When they were married Mabel quit teaching at school. Brother Hugo chose the calling of Methodist ministry, working at Ion his way through Evanston in Illinois. After his ord£n/l he married Ida Cole of the Methodist church, a devoted helpmeet in the Lordfs vinyard. Hugo was strong in his faith and sincere in his efforts to V (Home again 2) 2 ( N 0 T T H E live up to that faith. We shall meet him again in these records. Hulda and Louise, my sisters helped mother keep house. Neither of them had a beau at the time. Though there were callers, the girls did not encourage them. That worried mother. They are so strange - these mothers. If a son is choosey, the mother is pleased. If a daughter does not date up the first caller, provided mother thinks well of him, then she worries* Perhaps within their heavy hearts they know why? One time Hulda had a caller; when he had left mother asked: "Did you invite him to call again?" "No," snapped Hulda, "I took out cherries - he ate all - I got stems and stones - YJu think 1 c'n use such a man?" Sister Louise was reticent when young men were near. She showed no interest in any, invited none. Yet she had a bevy of girl friends. Mother could not understand her. My Impression was that the girl wanted an education, not a man. Avidly, she read everything she could get hold of and then looked for more. Like mother, she always sang at her work; mostly plaintive airs full of melancholy and long­ ing* As if she were in captivity. She knew how much mother needed her - a dutiful daughter, never murmering. Brother Lucas, the youngest of the children living, was fifteen and taller than I. Bothc of us were born on fete December 13, thirteen years apart* At the time I returned he was working as a mirror plate beveller at the Art Glass Works. Sister Laura was an adopted child for which mother yet found room in her large family. The four year old child was unusually af­ fectionate. She had barely seen me when she fairly flew into my arms* That was our family as I found it after and absence of six years and four months. All of them had grown by that much stronger (Home Again)3) 3 SUNDAY DINNERS and older. All but the parents who had grown older and more frail. When that family was together for a Sunday dinner, it was a treat to be one of them. Conversation added zest to the meal. Now this,then the other one had a story or experience to tell. Often one or the other had a friend or a "steady" with him. Ihere there is room for eleven there is always room for one more. Ours was Jfffccwpt "open House11 for our friends. That*s what makes a home so wonderfully informal and never to be forgotten. When people remarked to mother of extra work, shefd answer: "When they are here I know where they are and need not worry." Mother was proud of her children as such and often said: tt0h, how I thank my God that not one of my children is unsound or mis-shapen. Of course, this applied to our mental and physical observanee of/ fitness only. With our/filial obligations our parents had fault to find* For one thing, not one of their children remained in the church they were brought up in. Henry, Robert, Hugo, Hulda, were drawn to the Sherman Street Methodist church. There the services were entirely in English. The hymns were far more lively, lacking the somber time of Lutheran music. Even our own church at revival meetings sang livelier airs to woo converts than were sung at our regu^lar services. These re­ vival songs ?/ere deemed unfit to be included in our hymnbook. If then the methods of Evangelists who held forth in Milwaukee every winter, weaned the youth from the German church - whom could one blame?

  • "Building the Social Democratic Party," by Emil Seidel
    Building the Social Democratic Party by Emil Seidel An excerpt from Part III of the memoir Thy Kingdom Come: Sketches from My Life (1944), pp. 79-83; 86-87. Manuscript at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison. Our party was growing and we, including myself, were grow- ing with it. From the Socialist Vereinigung [Association] I trans- ferred to Branch 1 [of the Social Democratic Party of America], organized by Eugene V. Debs. It was our first English-speaking branch in Milwaukee. We met in the Ethical Hall on Jefferson Street. Here I got to know Charley Whitnall, Howard Tuttle, Thomas C.P. Myers, Frederic Heath, Eugene Rooney, Nick Schwinn, and other Socialists of more or less purely native stock. The Vereinigung having served its purpose, disbanded. Most of its members joined their respective Ward branches; the re- mainder reorganized the German-language branch. Eventually, we had a dozen or more such foreign language branches in Mil- waukee County, all of them affiliated nationally and having a weekly paper. The Jewish comrades maintained even a daily — the Forwarts. These foreign language Socialists counted among our most loyal comrades and were the hardest workers for our cause — the backbone of the bundle brigade. We aimed to maintain a local branch in every ward. Among the earliest, we had enough signatures to apply for a 20th Ward charter. I transferred my membership from Branch 1 to Branch 20. Many of the charter members have crossed the great divide but the branch they started lives on to continue their work. 1 And there was work to be done.

  • The Fight for Freedom: Campaign Speech at Pabst Park, Milwaukee (July 21, 1912)
    The Fight for Freedom: Campaign Speech at Pabst Park, Milwaukee (July 21, 1912) Friends, fellow socialists, and fellow workers:— The existing order of things is breaking down. The great forces un- derlying society are steadily at work. The old order has had its day and all the signs point to an impending change. Society is at once being de- stroyed and recreated. The struggle in which we are engaged today is a struggle of econom- ic classes. The supremacy is now held by the capitalist class, who are combined in trusts and control the powers of government. The middle class is struggling desperately to hold its ground against the inroads of its trustified and triumphant competitors. This war between the great capitalists who are organized in trusts and fortified by the powers of government and the smaller capitalists who constitute the middle class, is one of extermination. The fittest, that is to say the most powerful, will survive. This war gives rise to a variety of issues of which the tariff is the principal one, and these issues are de- fined in the platforms of the Republican and Democratic parties. With this war between capitalists for supremacy in their own class and the issues arising from it, the working class have nothing to do, and if they are foolish enough to allow themselves to be drawn into these bat- tles of their masters, as they have so often done in the past, they must continue to suffer the consequences of their folly. Let us clearly recognize the forces that are undermining both of the old capitalist parties, creating a new issue, and driving the working class into a party of their own to do battle with their oppressors in the struggle for existence.

  • INDIANA MAGAZINE of HISTORY Volume LIV SEPTEMBER 1958 NUMBER3
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume LIV SEPTEMBER 1958 NUMBER3 U..... U..... ...................................................................................... “Red Special”: Eugene V. Debs and the Campaign of 1908 H. Wayne Morgan* The days when American socialists counted their sym- pathizers in hundreds of thousands are gone, and many stu- dents and historians are unaware that fifty years ago the Socialist Party of America was a power to be reckoned with in presidential elections. The history books that extol the campaign exploits of William Jennings Bryan, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson often fail to record that the most famous American socialist, Eugene Victor Debs, waged five presidential campaigns between 1900 and 1920. None of these campaigns was more colorful than that of 1908, the year of the “Red Special.” Preserved in song and poem, as well as in the fading memories of participants and bystanders, the Socialist party’s campaign of that year illustrated the vigor of the organization and the amount of effort which Socialists could pour into a national campaign. By 1908, the Socialist Party of America had made con- siderable progress toward fulfilling the promise it had shown in the presidential election of 1904. It could now claim its place as the third party of American politics, a position it had taken from the Prohibitionists in 1904. Politically, the Socialists were gaining strength on local levels. In Milwaukee, one of their strongholds, they had come close to capturing the mayor’s office in 1906 and had used their influence with * H. Wayne Morgan is John Randolph and Dora E. Haynes Fellow for 1958-1959 at the University of California at Los Angeles, where he has served as teaching assistant in the Department of History.
