Hillquit, Morris (1869–1933)

Latvian-born US lawyer, author, and reformer. He helped found the Socialist Party of America (1900) and afterwards defended many Socialists, including those prosecuted in 1917–18 for antiwar activities. He failed in several bids for elective office. A moderate who tried to adapt European Socialism to the American situation, he published several works on socialism, including Socialism in Theory and Practice (1909). Hillquit was born in Riga, Latvia, and emigrated to the USA in 1886. He dropped out of high school to go to work and helped found the United Hebrew Trades (1888). He graduated from New York University Law School in 1891.
