attempt longer TO conceal their anxiety over
the Debs vote. and Senator Jones. chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, stated to-day that
he believes Chicago is the strongest Debs city in
the entire country. What worries the Democrat tic
leaders is their absolute inability to size up the
vote that will be for the Socialist Democratic,
candidate in the doubtful States. Throughout the
Middle West the Democrats admit that their ranks
will furnish the great bulk OF the votes that are
cast for Deos next month. except in Indiana,
where they assert that Debs is strongest among
