the Debs lecture which is to be given
in Turner theatre on the evening of the
23d of this month, will draw fully as
we'll as the Bryan lecture. A number
of the outside place which have been
in the habit Of coming to this place,
have written for reserv ations Of seats, |
and there is every reason to believe |
that there will be good audience on
the evening of the lecture.
Eugene Y. Debs when he lectures at |
the Turner theatre next Friday eve
ming will be the fourth great American
to address the people of New Ulm from
that platform. Like Bryan Debs was
once a candidate for president, like |
La Toilette he is a great reformer and
like Watterson a master Of platform
oratory. John Swinton, the great New
York editor. who heard Lincoln in
Cooper Union in 1860, wrote as follows
after hearing Debs from the same plat
form in 1894:
Il recalled the appearance, the man
ner, the-voice and the speech of Lin
coin as Debs stood before me thirty
| four years afterwards. It seemed to
me that both men were imbued with the
same spirit. Both seemed to me as
men of judgment, reason, earnestness
and power. Both seemed to me as
men of free. high, genuine and gener-
Gus manhood. I took to Lincoln in
my early life as I took to Debs third
/ OF century later. 10 the speeches of
both westerners there was cogent argu-
ment: there were apt illustrations;
there We're especially emphatic passa-
ges: there were moments Of lightning;
there were touches of humor: and there
were other qualities which produce
conviction or impel to action. [ con-
TESS that I was as much impressed with
the closing words of Debs' speech as I
was with those of Lincoln. Lincoln
spoke for man: SO spoke Debs. Lin
coin spoke for right and progress; so
spoke Debs. Lincoln spoke for the
freedom of labor: so Debs Lincoln
was the foe OF human slavery: so is
! Debs.'
There is one thing about Mr. Debs
that will interest people and that is he
never disappoints. He has always
something to say that is interesting
and he says it in such way that peo-
pie will listen to him even if they are
of different opinion in regard to the
matter.
1t is not Debs, the socialist who is
to speak on political questions, but it
is Debs, the lecturer, who is to deliver
one of his Incompatible addresses,
! and if there be in it any of the doc
trines he is persistentiy urging what
} ever he says regarding them will come
to the audience as refreshing draft
