President Roosevelt is informed that

ers have discovered that there is a
big Socialist growth, and that many
workingmen embracing these princi
pies declare their intention of sup

Eugene Debs.
One caller at the White House to.
day informed the President that the
Socialist vote may defeat the Repub-
lican ticket in such close states as
West Virginia, Indiana, Illionois, Col
orado and Wisconsin. The informa-
ton has impaired a fright to the Rep
ublican managers, and has been hast
ely communicated to Secretary Cor
telyou
Debs has gone among the West Vir-
ginia miners. and several thousand
have cut away from Roosevelt to
vote for him. Debs is to make SINH
lar campaigns in Indiana and Pennsyl
vania. The Republicans have been

Virginia is has been stated that the
miners would vote almost sOlidly for

Socialists cast nearly as many votes
for their nominee for mayor as the
Republicans did for theirs. The demo
