ONE EUGENE v. DEBS
Sees No Good in Any Political Party
Except the Socialist.

milwaukee,, Wis, July 2l.-Eugene V.
Debs, candidate for President on the So
cia1ist ticket, addressing a meeting here,
today, outlined his views of present po-
ltical conditions and contrasted the prin-
ciples and purposes of the different po-
litical parties. He declared the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties were rep
resentatives of the capitalistic class and
the Socialist party alone represented the
working class.
The great capitalists are all conserva-
tive stand patters'; they have a stran-
gle hold upon the situation with no in
tention of relaxing their grip" said Mr.
Debs.
Taft and Roosevelt are their candi-
dates. 1t may be objected that Roose-
Welt is a Progressive That is more
buncombe Roosevelt was President al
most eight years and his record is
known. When he was in office and had
the power, he did none of the things nor
attempted to do any oyf the things he
is, now talking about so wildly.
Woodrow is no more the candidate of
the working class thap is Mr. Taft or
Mr. Roosevelt. Neither one of them has
ever been identified with the working
class, has ever associated with the work
ing class, except when their votes were
wanted or would dare ayow himself the
candidate of the working class.
1.-The vital issue before the country and
the world is not mentioned in the Re-
publican or Democratic platforms. Wage
slavery under capitalism. the legalized
robbery of the workers of what is pro-
dueed by their labor is the fundamental
crime against modern humanity, but
there is no room for the mention of this
vital fact, this living issue in the plat
forms 70 the Republican and Democratic
parties.
I'm contrast with these impotent, cor
rupt and senile capitalist parties without
principles and without ideals. stands the
virile young working class party, the
international Socialist party of the
world"
Mr.. Debs commended the work in Con-
gress of the Wisconsin Socialist mem
Der. Victor L. Berger, and made plea
for the two strike leaders in Lawrence,
Mass, who are charged with murder.

no suggestion of bargain or cempre-
mise with any other political organiza
ton.
If either the Republican or Demo-
cratic organization of Pennsylvania Or
any other state is in control of his sup
porters, who are able to place the
Roosevelt candidates for electors upon
their tickets without compromise, the
colonel VIII offer no objections.
Colonel Roosevelt would not suggest
any plan to be adopted in Pennsylva.
mia, Oh the ground he had no accurate
knowledge of conditions in that state
at this time and could do nothing iun
til after he had talked with Mr.. Flynn.
II is regarded as probable that the de-
cision reached at tomorrow's confer
enoe will be of influence in determine
ing the course To be taken i'm other
states, such as New Jersey and Mary
land. where similar questions have
been raised.
Colonel Roosevelt talked over the sit
uaticn in Wiseon today, with Pres
ident Charles r. Hise of the University
OF Wisconsin and Harry Cochems, a
former lieutenant of Senator La Fol-
letto, who has joined the new party.
Mr.. Cochems," the colonel said, lis
very much pleased with all that has
been accomplished in Wisconsin, and
he says there is no question whatever
that we win carry the state.
A suggestion that the platform
adopted ny the convention had been
drafted by him was quickly repudi-
ated by Col. Roosevelt. He said he had
