Fred D. Warren Papers
Scope and Content
The collection is, presumably, only a portion of the business correspondence of Fred D. Warren, the managing editor of the Appeal to Reason, a Socialist weekly with the largest circulation in the United States. The bulk of the correspondence dates from 1910- 1914. The correspondence includes letters between Warren and his business partner, Upton Sinclair, and their dispute over the publication rights to Sinclair's play, The Millenium. Also included is correspondence between Warren and Eugene V. Debs, the perennial presidential candidate of the Socialist Party. Debs served as a contributing editor of the Appeal to Reason. These letters clearly reflect Debs' opinions of people and events associated with the Socialist Party, including the Barnes Affair, the campaign of 1912, Victor Berger and Morris Hillquit.
