Debs Too

Gene Debs also will run, not being willing to entrust to the Third Term Candidate, who has borrowed so much of his platform, the interests of the Socialists, whose leader he is. Debs says the Bull Moose party is a party of progressive capitalism, lavishly financed and shrewdly advertised, and not at all the party for any sincere Socialist who wants to break the capitalists of their habit of "enslaving and robbing the workers."

Eugene takes a very depressed view of the present condition of the people of this country. We don't think they would admit that his picture of them is a good likeness, but here's to hope that he will get such votes as are his.
