"... functioning as the servile lackeys of Wall Street, the
profiteering pirates and highbinders who are looting this
nation and debauching its institutions; whose putrescent
filthiness was revealed in the minutest part in the recent
uncovering of the stench-pots in Washington, while their
diminutive political manikin sat silent and supine in the
executive chair once occupied by Lincoln, whose grave
clothes have been stolen and whose memory is outraged
and insulted by the grafting gang now in the control of
the Republican party."
- Eugene Victor Debs, Letter to the Republican National
Committee, October 11, 1924
