DEBs ON HIS CANVASS.
Says the Social Democratic Vote VIII
Reach Six Figures.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Nov. Eugene
" Debs reached home today after having
spent several weeks on the stump in
eighteen States. He spoke to a very large
audience tonight. OF the results Of his
canvass he said:
The Social Democratic vote will be writ
ten in six figures and will be sufficient to
make the Social Democracy a factor in fu-
ture political campaigns in the country. 1
don't care to venture an estimate for the
reason that there will be such large in
dependent, non-committal vote that it will
be impossible for any man to approximate
it with any degree of accuracy.
THE vote for the Social Democratic
ticket will come largely from the follow
ing States and in size in the order named
Massachusetts, Connecticut New York,
Pennsylvania. Michigan, Wisconsin, indi-
ana. Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Kan
sas. Iowa, Texas. California. and Wash
ington. We have a ticket on the ballots
in thirty-two States. We shall elect
number of Representatives in the Legis-
lature of several State. but it is prob
lematical If we shall elect Congressman.
II have made eighty speeches. and at
every point to very large audiences, in a
number of instances being compelled to
speak out of doors to reach the overflow
ing crowds. After covering much terri
tory, l can say that our vote will come
equally from the two old parties. in some
places more from one party than an
other; but on the whole it will be from
the two parties in equal numbers"
