The 72-year-old man is about five foot four inches tall. The beginning of his acceptance speech: “Perhaps not all of ^ou can see me, but surely you can hear me.’’ He’s been a reporter at several Debs dinners; “I never dreamed I’d be on this side pf the speakers’ table.”The University of Wisconsin journalism graduate heard Debs speak in 1923 at the Madison campus. “He impressed me with his burning eloquence.” After someone cut the wires, Debs spoke by candlelight, which gave Debs a “Saint-like impression,” according to Levin. He even admitted, “Unfortunately I forgot what he said then.”
