Chicago. May s-Eugene Y. Debs Of

Of the United States Of the Socialist party.
William D. Haywood, former secretary
treasurer of the Western Federation of
Miners. the other man whose name has
been mentioned, is not TO be on the ticket
in any capacity if the present plan is car
ried out This does not mean that Hay
wood has been repudiated.
The coming campaign Is TO be the
most bitterly contested in the history of
the party, one leader explained. We
expect 10 poll more than million votes.
But in addition to making this showing
in November We are anxious to educate
the people. Therefore we must name
Debs and make the issue OF the campaign
socialism and not Haywoodism. The Idaho
or the Colorado, or the Nevada labor trou-
bles must not be injected into the issue"
The national convention of the party
win get down to work Sunday. Most Of
the delegates are here. Probably never
| before in its history has the organiza-
ton been so well represented as at this
convention. Millionaire members who
have been derisively dubbed 'parlor
| fighters" are rubbing elbows with the
rank and file. And all are for Debs.
He is not here and his best friends say
he will not come. But the delegates as
a whole expect him, and in anticipation
of his coming are preparing a whiri-
! wind welcome.
Split Over immigration.

This is the question of restriction of i'm
migration,
At the international conference in Stutt-
gart, the world wide party went on
record as favoring opposition to immi-
grafton restriction. This was repudiated
by the national executive committee IN
| this country, which adopted a resolution
declaring in favor of certain restrictions,
especially as they included the Oriental
races
From the Pacific Coast comes an al

But what holds most strongly the
hungry eye of Edwin Ansruther is
the foreground Of this wondrous pic

Running into the gentle waves about
half mile from him is a cliff, topped
by fairy green of foliage; upon it
stands a ruined turret Its time-staiued
stones indicate it had been a watch
tower Of the Genoese in olden days
and that from its top centuries ago
had famed beacons warning the flee
ing people that the galleys of Barbary
pirates were ravagiug these shores

above the foliage has been now appar-

the sheen of glass IN some Of the little

comfortable Corsican farmhouse, in
creased by a long modern addition
whose windows are large and whose
portiCO is spacious. OF n sudden he
thinks he sees a white hand waving

the tower, and gallops down the road

Some broken branches of cyclamen
flowers lead him toward the turret. A
light is now streaming from its upper
story, Riding his horse to the low

to the lower story he springs off to
alight upon cyclamen blooms. The
odor Of the flowers issues from the
building itself.
