Debs for Congress
(fir Mu SheroTer.)
Terre Haote, Ind,—Deba can bo
<4eoted to Congress!
No one but the Socialists them-
sclve* can defeat him.
This Is my sincere oonviction
mw. I came down here sceptical
•Wat 'Oene'g prospects but I am
aseptical no longer. 1 believe that
Doha' chances to record a Social-
ist victory are excellent. And
arrived at thli conclusion after
talkitig with and interviewing
numerous persons in every walk
of life, none of whom were Social-
ists.
I talked with miners and clerks,
lairyers and glass blowers, editors,
porters, politicians and bell-boys.
1 questioned labor leaden, con
versed over the phone with cler-
gymen and made it my business
to over-hear ooovenations in res-
taurants and other public places.
Tho sentipent in favor of Debs'
election Win by no means unani
moos, I an satisfied that I am
not over optimistic in stating that
the comrades the country over
ought to take up this campaign
seriously and feel assured that the
efforts put forward will not be
in vain. The people of th« Fifth
Indiana Congressional district
generally, and the people of Terre
Haute particularly have haVe had
the bad fortune to have a taste
of democratic and republican par-
ty domination in its worst form.
They are thoroughly sick of it
They want no more of it. They
are clamoring for a change.
