Deb's advice to all men to vote
the Populist ticket is about as
creditable as his advice to thou
sands Of railroad men to quit their
Jobs. His advice was not only an
injury to the. whole country, but
of especial damage to the men
who followed it. The success of
the Populist ticket would not only
injure any state or locality, but
would be especially damaging to
the laborlng men, to whom Debs
makes his especial appeal. In fol-
lowing such leaders the laboring
men can never gain the prosperity
that reasonable action would bring
them.
