SOCIALISTS OPEN
THEIR CAMPAIGN

CHICAGO. June 16.-The first campaign
In which the Socialist party has had a
complete ticket in every state was opened
here this afternoon, Eugene V Debs
and Emil Seidel, the Socialist candida tes
for president and vice president of the
United States. made the chief addresses
Both candidates spoke in RlvervieW park
Mr., Dehs said In part;
In this campaign there are but two
parties and but. one issue. The so-called
Republican and Democratic parties are
substantially one In what they stand for,
opposed to each other on no question of
principle, but purely In a contest for the
spoils Of office
We have before us in this city at
this hour an exhibition Of capitalist ma
chine politics which lays bare The true
nwardness OF the situation In the capi-
talist camps. Nothing that any Socialist
has ever charged in the way Of corrup-
tion Is TO he 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 Dcmocrats-and they are all
agreed that Socialism would be the ruin
of the country.
Taft and Roosevelt in the exploitation
Of their boasted individualism and their
fight for official spoils have been forced
To expose the whole game of capitalist
class politics and reveal themselves and
the whole brood Of capitalists I'm their
true role. mere puppets bought: paid for
and owned by the powers that are cx
plotting this nation and enslaying and
rohbing its tollers.

SAY Us FIRST BALLOT
WILL TELL THE TALE

BY international News Service
CHICAGO, June 16.-Statement b
George a. Knight. national committee
man from California,
There is not much to say about
the national convention OF 1872. In
my opinion the first ballot will de-
termine who will be the nominee,
TAFT must win on the first ballot
or his doom is sealed In my iudg-
Inent Roosevelt will be nominated.
The steamroller method OF the ma
tional committee is a negligible fac
tor now, The unfair procedure OF
the majority has simply added more
vim TO the Roosevelt wave III such
thing were possible.
The fact Is, the plain people OF this
nation prefer Roosevelt to Taft. In
a combat OF any I1ino Taft could have
broadaX and Roosevelt a cambric
needle and Teddy would start him on
the run. He outclasses Taft in the
game.
want no more national conven-
lions. The absence of big men who
want the job strikes one with feel
ing akin to sorrow.
Here In this convention I fail to
see a Blaine. a ConlSlng. a Sherman,
Logan or some one to nominate in
case of a deadlock. Competent men
for public office are at a premium.
