      "My mother, [Beaulah Gene Deal], told me that her mother, Clara Belle Smith Deal, wanted to name her 'Victoria Gene,' after Victor Eugene Debs, (who had been Presidentially-pardoned of sedition charges six weeks prior to my mother's birth), but that her father, Fred Deal thought that that was too much and insisted upon naming her 'Beaulah Gene.' However, my grandmother got back at him by calling my mother 'Gene,' which was how she was always called."

      "Eugene Victor "Gene" Debs (November 5, 1855? October 20, 1926) was an American union leader, one of the founding members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or the Wobblies), and several times the candidate of the Socialist Party of America for President of the United States. Through his presidential candidacies, as well as his work with labor movements, Debs eventually became one of the best-known socialists living in the United States. . . .

      Eugene Debs was born on November 5, 1855, in Terre Haute, Indiana, to Jean Daniel and Marguerite Mari Bettrich Debs, who both immigrated to the United States from Colmar, Alsace, France. His father, who came from a prosperous family in France, owned a textile mill and meat market. Eugene Victor Debs was named after the French authors Eugene Sue and Victor Hugo. . . .

      He ran as the Socialist Party's candidate for the presidency in 1900, 1904, 1908, 1912, and 1920, the last time from a prison cell. . . .

      Debs was noted for his oratory, and his speech denouncing American participation in World War I led to his second arrest in 1918. He was convicted under the Espionage Act of 1917 and sentenced to a term of 10 years. . . .

      On December 23, 1921, President Warren G. Harding commuted Debs' sentence to time served, effective Christmas Day. He did not issue a pardon. . . . When Debs was released from the Atlanta Penitentiary, the other prisoners sent him off with "a roar of cheers" and a crowd of 50,000 greeted his return to Terre Haute to the accompaniment of band music. En route home, Debs was warmly received at the White House by President Harding, who greeted him by saying: 'Well, I've heard so damned much about you, Mr. Debs, that I am now glad to meet you personally!'"
