National Convention Ends After ;
Record Of Turbulence Never

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. May 49,
With a record of turbulence unsur
passed in the entire history of polit
zeal organization, the national con.
vention of the socialists adjourned
sine die late this evening with the
members entirely satisfied with the
outcome. 1t had nominated a nation
al ticket evenly balanced. the presi-
dental candidate being one Of the
most radical labor leaders, Eugene V.
Debs, of Terre Haute, and the second
place on the ticket was filled by Emile
Seidel. conservative and advocate of
the Milwaukee idea
The convention went squarely on
record late today as in favor of wom-
ems suffrage in every form and hit
the hardest blow at the white slave
traffic ever aimed by any national
gathering. 1t pledged the party, in
every community where it secures con-
troll, to abolish all restricted districts
and to prosecute all resort proprie-
tors and cadet procurers..
The radical and conservatives fought
i. out all week and the adjournment
found both factions claiming victory.
The radicals gained a sweeping adj
vantage through the recognition of in
dustrial, as we'll as all other forms of
unionism. This includes the Industrial
Workers of the World, who, the con
servatives claimed, are an anarchist
body. Because of this, the socialists
specifically disavowed all forms Of
violence in labor troubles and agreed
that all socialists who may advocate
such direct action. shall be forth
with expelled.
j. Mahlen Barnes Of Philadelphia
was elected to manage the coming
campaign.
The convention also granted per-
mission to the presidential candi-
dates to select their own campaign
