First Edition. Leaflet. Single 14" x 11" sheet folded in four to make eight panels; folded dimensions 4-1/4" x 7". Fine. Campaign leaflet issued in opposition to California's Proposition 17, a 1972 ballot measure that restored the death penalty in the state. The text reviews the language of the Proposition, then offers counterarguments to six common points raised in favor of capital punishment. The Prop 17 referendum had been spurred by a court decision earlier in 1972 (People v. Anderson) that had ruled the death penalty illegal under California's constitution. Despite organized opposition by religious groups and civil libertarians, Prop 17 passed in November 1972 with more than 60% of the vote, restoring the death penalty.…

Haldeman-Julius Big Blue Book no. 904; probably a later issue, in ivory wrappers without the "BB" prefix. Octavo. Staple-bound pamphlet; 24pp. Text toned, as usual; Very Good. Transcript of a debate that took place at Chicago's Garrick Theater in 1910, with Darrow taking the affirmative, that evil should not be answered with evil, an argument he applies to modern jurisprudence and the death penalty in particular. The text was originally printed by the Workers University Society in Chicago (1910); this undated reprint is in Haldeman-Julius' "Big Blue Book" series which, in keeping with the publisher's haphazard approach to bibliographical matters, was comprised of books that were not particularly big, and often not blue.…

A substantial letter by Benjamin Wingate, Mexican-American War veteran and future namesake of Fort Wingate, New Mexico, written during his frontier service at Fort Gibson in the Cherokee Nation. Responding to news that the execution of a man named Clark had been delayed, Wingate launches into a lengthy and forceful rejection of capital punishment: "You speak of Clark's execution in your letter, that it did not take place at the appointed time, but to express an opinion on the subject I hope that it never did take place; do not understand me to say that I want him to go unpunished. I should be very sorry to hear that there has been a man hanged in old Scott. I know but little of the circumstances concerning the case, but if indeed he be guilty of murder, he should be punished, and that punishment should be such as to not take his life, as there is doubtless many other ways of inflicting punishment besides taking life [.] I hold the opinion to be a sound one that man should not take the life of his fellow man except in self defense and then not if it could be avoided. I look upon the law of punishing capital offences as being barbarous and savage in the extreme. It is a subject that the attention of the law making or legislating power should be called to act on." Living amid the Indigenous nations of Indian Territory, Wingate makes a comparison with the customs around him: "The present law is more barbarous if possible than the laws and customs of the Indians in this part of the country. If a rich Indian kills a poor Indian he can make atonement for the crime by paying a certain sum of money, but if one Indian kills another Indian and is not able to pay for him, they kill him in return." Fort Gibson, established within Cherokee country, was one of the principal U.S. military posts in Indian Territory, and Wingate's comments come from a young Army officer living within that environment. The comparison is striking precisely because he uses what he understands as Native retaliatory justice as the measure by which to criticize American law. The letter then turns to family gossip and politics. Wingate jokes that the election of Zachary Taylor meant "that the Whigs are as badly whipped as they was when they elected J. Tyler," anticipating that Taylor would "doubtless have to take a trip up salt river, if he is not burnt in effigy by the Whigs before that time." More appealing personally was the news then pouring out of California. In January 1849, with the Gold Rush only beginning to transform American migration westward, Wingate was already considering abandoning the Army: "I have been thinking very strong for some time of resigning and going to California but I am not off yet, nor I don't know that I will get off soon if at all. But whether I should or should not go, it is certainly a very great opening for a young man to make a fortune in a short time if there is any confidence to be placed in reports." He remained instead in military service. Wingate had fought in Mexico at Cerro Gordo and subsequently served on the frontier in Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and New Mexico. He was mortally wounded at the Battle of Valverde during the Civil War; Fort Wingate, established in New Mexico later in 1862, was named in his honor. The Filson Historical Society preserves correspondence of Wingate and the allied Hardy family, including Arba L. Hardy, the recipient here.[1] An appealing early Wingate letter, combining an extended argument against capital punishment with observations from Indian Territory and the immediate lure of California at the opening of the Gold Rush.
