DEBS is FAVORED TO
HEAD SOCIALIST TICKET

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, May IT,
With the radical element In complete
control, but with their demands curb
ed so that the sting OF the opposition
had been withdrawn. the Socialist
national convention was late In get
ting together here today. Last nights
session, when the report Of the COM
mittee on labor relations and the
platform were adopted by an over
whelmingly unanimous vote, seemed
TO have cemented many OF the diner
ences that have divided the party for
years. and boastSSwere made that the
result In votes next November would
be startlingly large to the leaders OF
the two older parties.
Today all interest centered In the
party nominations to be made this az
ternoon. Eugene v. Debs, who has
three times headed the ticket, seemed
to be the unanimous choice OF the
majority of the delegates for the first
place on the ticket. but the question
of suitable running mate was still
at issue. The rank and file and many
OF the leaders want Charles Edward
Russell, OF New York. He has de-
clared that he would not accept the
second place, but his friends, when
the convention resumed today, were
confident that he would fall into line.
Should he do so before the nomina-
tons are reached late this afternoon,
the ticket will undoubtedly be Debs
and Russell.

pair Of slippers Of very singular kind
with this inscription. "Effen Nyt"

Of this singularity is this: A man

was to live a certain number Of years
and no longer. Under the impression
Of this idea he calculated that II he
spent so much year bis estate and
his life would expire together. It hap
pened that he was not mistaken In
either Of his calculations; he died pre-
cisely at that time which he had pre-
scented to himself In fancy and had
then brought his fortune to such a
predicament that after the paying Of
his debts he had nothing left but a
pair Of slippers. His relations buried
him in a creditable manner and had
the slippers carved on his tomb with
