Views of Mr.. Debs.
In a recent interview, Eugene V. Debs,
who is the Socialist candidate for Presi-
dent and who represents n certain strong
element in the labor camp, gave cxpres-
sion to a very general sentiment among
the members of labor unions, which is
universally hostile to the nomination of
Henry G.. Davis of West Virginia as the
Democratic candidate for second place
on the ticket with Judge Parker.
AN important factor in causing descr-
tons from the Democratic party said
MIR. Dcbs in the interview referred TO,
lis the fact that Henry G. Davis, the
vice presidential candidate, has always
been violently opposed to organized la
Dor, refusing to allow his own employees
to join labor unions. and being mainly
instrumental in bringing the court in
functions IN West Virginia issued against
labor unions, particularly those who were
trying to organize the coal miners in that
State"
In sharp contrast with the silence of
Judge Parker and the open hostility of
Senator Davis is the record of President
Roosevelt, who has stood for the laboring
man Mt all times, and who has never hes
ltated TO declare himself on this subject.
IT is no political clap-trap which inlu-
ences the President of the United States,
whenever he gets off a train, day or
night, to walk To the head of the plat
form to shake hands with the engineer
ana hreman 1t is as natural to him as.
it would be to shake hands with any of

RECORD on thls subject is ~slnsularly IN
contrast with that OF his Democratic OPP
poheht'
Roosevelt's Declaration.
When MIR. Roosevelt. at his home on
Sagmore Hill, accepted the nomination
made by the Republican convention at
Chicago, he was silent upon nothing.
He expressed his views on every subject
with entire frankness, and the clearness
and the honesty of his declaration on the
labor question seem to nave won for
