Debs looked into friendly faces
wherever he went they were all
comrades" Every mention OF his
name in the preliminary speeches was
the signal for genuine outbursto of
applause. IL he had enemies on the
east side. they took pains to stay at
home, apparently. says the New York
Evening Post.
A full hour before the meeting was
scheduled TO begin. crowds began TO
straggle into Hamilton Fish park
from the side streets roundabout. In
half an hour more the place was pack
ed. and cordpn OF police had It's
hands full trying To keep the people
from surging over the raised platform

The people were everywhere. inside
and outside the park railing. Almost
the first thing the police did was TO
pounce down on few peddlers who
were selling red flags in the crowd.
They We're driven out of the park In
short order. but they kept on selling
their colors outside.
IL might have been mere coinci-
dence. but there appeared TO be a
great deal OF red In the clothes wor
by the crowd. Nine out OF ten wom-

shoulders. while almost every child

ages and sizes-seemed to be clad In

Presently there was commotion in
one corner. and the crowd surged over
that way. Was IL Debs? The band.
The Red Special Band" had arrived
that was all.
Hardly had the musicians tuned up
when another arrival cut them short.
"Debs has come" shouted someone in
the outskirts OF tie crowd, and there
was general craning of necks. Rob
ert Hunter. Morris Hillqmt, J. q.
Phelps-Stokes. and Jacob Penken
stepped into the open, but there was
no Debs with them.
The crowd listened attentiveiy TO
each OF these. In turn. Mr. Hunter,
who Is the Socialist candidate for as
sembly in the sixth district, spoke
briefly. lie urged his hearers to work
for the election OF Hillquit. whom he
called the noblest man We have in
our party" The people cheered Hunt

when the band struck up the familiar
"Marselaise," the song OF freedom.
and Hillquit mounted the rostrum.
Mr.. Stokes, candidate for assembly
In the eighth district. spoke next.
Two years ago. he said. in this dis
trict. the Socialist vote was only one
quarter as large as IL is today. Times
have changed; the chance To elect So
cialist candidates is better than 1t
ever was. Why did the registration
fall short this year? Because the cor
rupt politicians could not. under the
new system, register fioaters as they
used TO do.
Socialism is a tremendous issue, a
real burning issue In this country to-
day. and the politicians Of the old
school are just beginning 10 realize

This action following the recent

SUIT TO BE STARTED
AGAINST THE @. S. |.
Commercial Bodies Claim That Freight
Rates to This Section are in
Excess.

Commerce Commission may now see
fit to give redress.
Just what the hope is based on
cannot be told since Spokane
fought out this battle and lest be-
fole the interstate Commerce Com
mission which practically decided
that a higher rate to Spokane than
to the coast was not unreasonable.
1t seems that the coast towns fight
the lower ing of the rate to the in
land country, and i is more a mat
ter of influence than argument.
About all the good the Interstate
Commerce Commission seems to be
doing is to annoy the railrads with
out giving the people any relief
from high rates.
One thing the suit will do is to
bring out and make a few facts
known to the public which, will
enable the people to reach better
uclusions. At presnet their
prejudices sway them because they
do not know much about railroad
matters.
Whether regulation will solve
