Jane Addams to Harold LeClair Ickes, May 16, 1914

My dear Mr. Ickes,

I have always considered Mr. Thompson an ornament to the party and am quite distressed that he should be disciplined. However, I have missed the last few meetings. I am venturing to send this on to you in the hope that you have more wisdom than I have.

I am so discouraged about the Non-Partisan meeting that I am almost ready to give it up.
