SOCIALISTS OPEN
THEIR CAMPAIGN

Chicago, June 1.-THE first cam.
paign in which the Socialist party has
had a complete ticket in every state
was opened here Sunday. Eugene v.
Debs and Emil Siedel, the Socialist
candidates for. president and vice
president of the United States, made
the chief addresses. Both candidates
spoke in Riverview park.
Mr.. Debs said in part:
In this campaign there are but two
parties and but one issue. The So
called Republican and Democratic par
ties are substantially one in what
they stand for. opposed to each other
on no question of principle, but pure
ly in a contest for the spoils of office.
I'VE have before US in this city at
this hour an exhibition OF capitalist
machine politics which lays bare the
true inwardness of the situation in the
capitalist camps. Nothing that any
Socialist has ever charged in the way
of corruption is to be compared with
what Taft and Roosevelt have
charged and proved upon one another.
They are both good Republicans, Just
as Harmon and Bryan are good Delno-
Grassland they are all agreed that
Socialism would be the ruin OF the
country.
Taft and Roosevelt in the exploit
alton of their boosted individualism
and their fight for official spells, nave
been forced to expose the whole game
Of capitalist class politics and reveal
themselves and the whole brood OF
capitalists in their true role, mere
puppets bought, paid for and owned
by the powers that are exhibiting this
nation and enslaving and robbing its
toilers."

Chicago,-A movement in behalf OF
Justice Charles L. Hughes of the Uni
ted States supreme court as a COM
promise candidate for president took
definite form here today.
Several supporters of the justice

cal leaders. William II. Hotchklss OF

Justice Hughes is the leading spirit
of the movement.
Does not Hughes statement OF
last week, that he would not permit
the use of his name as a compromise
candidate, eliminate him." Mr.. Hotch-
kiss was asked.

Hughes ideas of civic duty, can re-
fuse to serve the people of the nation

Mr. Hotchkiss and his associates
took pains TO make, it clear that they

the justice in six months.

Another
Reason Why
You Should Own a
High View
Home

Home is where the heart
is and your heart will be
wrapped up in a High View
home the minute you see
one. 1t is seldom that beau
tiful architecture and sub
stantial construction are
combined in a home at the
price we quote below. Com
pare these High View
homes with others in the
neighborhood that sell for
$1,000 to 5000. You'll
agree that High View"
homes lose nothing by the
comparison.
Extensive building opera
tons by men who have mas
tered every detail of the con-
struction business enable us
to make you terms that are
less than rent. And instead
OF buying temporary shelter
you are buying a home of
your own-a home that is
yours for all time.
An inspection of a High
View home proves the
truth OF every statement
we've made. And when you
consider the terms on which
you can own one of these
homes, you'll hardly delay
that first payment any
longer. $500 full price,
paid $500 cash and 5000 a
month.
