 More than 250,000 workers have contributed dimes and nickels. 10 make this record breaking trip pos sible.
 During the 25 days the train has been on the road MT Debs has deliv- cred 250 speeches. The special train Is not red in color, but is just as black as an ordinary engine and so are the cars. It is the spirit that in vades the train from which the name is derived
 A band of 15 pieces travels with the socialist candidate and renders selections before the address is made The car is run on very eco homie basis and the meals of Mir Debs cost him only IS cents apiece. he personnel of the special includ- ing the musicians sleep in one car--- conditions being trife crowded.
 The car left this city for Hartford where a brief stop will be made but no speech given The next address will be delivered at Westfi field. then Springfield. Worcester and Boston. which the special, is expected to make 20 minutes after o'clock this evening. As it is an hour behind schedule time-it will not reach Boston until after o'clock.
 When the local committee learned that the special would be an hour late in reaching this city 1t decided to have Mrs Eva Reeves Bloor. the noted magazine writer. deliver an address. She spoke for more than half an hour on the doctrines of the socialist party and the crowd was much interested in her remarks. She is one of the prime movers of social ism in this city at present.
 The Red Special is paid $25 for every speech made by Mir Debs during the day and $50 for an even- ing visit. The home committee pays this money. A collection Is also taken up wherever a speech is made. The people responded very generous ly this morning. Several socialists from this city. including Mrs Bloor went as far as Westfield with the special.
