Eugene V. Debs to Socialism, has an

Mr.. Berger makes the remarkable
statement that President Roosevelt
has stolen many of his ideas from the
Socialists
"All this recent agitation and I'M
rest" said Mr.. Berger, and the show
ing up of how corporations run things
is making votes for US and swelling
our membership. The people are awak-
ening They are becoming more lib
eral, and beginning to understand con-
ditions better, and exposures are help
ing immensely. He is paving the way
for Socialism. While he is not of our
faith. nevertheless he Is helping us.
Every time he shows up the corpora
lions he makes votes for us. The more
he agitates, the better we like it. He
is convincing the people that we know
what we are talking about. He has
even stolen some of our ideas. He is
using them. In fact, ne admits they
are ours The entire country has been
divided into three distinct classes of
states. The first class comprises those
states that do not need national help.
The second class Is the list of states
which the national leaders propose to
assist The third class is the list of
states which, for the present. are to
