DEBS ADDRESSES
 LARGE AUDIENCE

Louisville. Ky. October 21.-Eugene V. Debs the socialist candidate for President, wound up a day of rapid fire campaigning through Indiana to- night with an address delivered before an audience which packed the Seel- bach Winter Garden.
 Mr. .Jebs delivered a scathing arr raignment of the two old parties which he charged are either tacitly or eX- plicitly pledged to maintain what he termed the present inhuman inequal- ities in the distribution of wealth. Both the democratic and republican plat forms he said, are equally acceptable to corporate greed. Hundreds of thousands of laborers today he de- clared, suffered dearth in the very presence ofs the plenty their toll has produced.
 During the past 15 years" said MT. Debs. there has been on an average one employed man in every four, and this indifferently under democratic or republican administration, under high or low tariff. under bimetalsm or the gold standard. The real cause of this condition lies in the fact that although the wealth producing industries are so- cialized in methods of operation, they are still controlled by private owner ship which has been allowed to take advantage of co-operation, and to heap up fortunes criminally large.
 You workers make automobiles and the rich ride in them. You ride only on election day and then it is to a polling place where you vote in favor of walk ing for the other 364 days" said MT. Debs.
 MT. Debs, although still battling with throat trouble and suffering from fatigue, spoke. with all his customary vivacity and vigor. His Louisville speech rounded out almost an even dozen addresses delivered during the day at towns in south ern Indiana.

The Republican State Convention

The outcome Of the Republican state
convention at Bangor last Tuesday was
very satisfactory, especially in that it
left everybody in the best OF humor.
The graceful act of Mr.. Haines in with
drawing and making it UNANIMOUS con-
tributed materially to this condition OF
things. There has been well-fought
contest in the party, and now that it is
settled, the best of Republican harmony
prevails, and the party is united and in
prime condition for the campaign.
One of the important results of the
convention is the practical settling of
the resubmission question. Resubmis-
sion had figured in the campaign for the
gubernatorial nomination. Because Mr..
Haines, though temperance man and a
supporter of prohibition, had once ex-
pressed himself in favor of resubmission,
he failed to get much support which he
might otherwise have had. Now the
question of Republican resubmission is
settled for years TO come. Two years
ago a respectable minority in the Re-
publican convention advocated with
considerable vigor resubmission plank.
The movement was defeated, but the
plank which was used, though favoring
q continuance of prohibition, gave no
direct expression on the question of re-
submission. This year not only is the
policy of prohibition strongly supported
in the platform, but resubmission ia
opposed. Resubmission, whether as a
measure to reaffirm the prohibitory law
OF on any other basis, is dead as Re-
publican measure. Ii must now wear
solely the Democratic brand, and be un-
derstood as the policy of those who con-
denim the prohibitory policy and believe
in the substitution of license law.
Hon. Bert NJ. Fernald, the nominee
for governor, is q man pretty well
known in this section of the state. BE
is a man whose qualifications for the
office have been tested in other public
positions, and who has proved himself
fitted. A business man, who will give
the state a business administration. i,
now rests upon the Republicans of the
state to see that he has 3 good "old
fashioned" Republican majority.
