Socialists Name
Convict Debs as
Party Candidate
By Associated Press.

New oYrk, May 13.-Eugene v.
Debs. federal convict No. 2,253, was
nominated by reclamation for the
presidency Of the United States at
the socialist convention here today.
lie v. Debs began serving d
t. ar sentence for violation of the
: iage act April 13. 1919. when he
led the Moundsville, w. Va.
Sltentiary. He was removed to the
5 lanta prison last June. Debs is
- years old. His presidential
domination is the fifth his party has
given him. He was a democrat be-
fore he turned socialist. In the late
'T0s he served two terms In the
Indiana house from Terre Haute, his
home town.
His present Imprisonment resulted
from government investigation OF q
speech in Canton. o.. on June 1s,
1918, which led to his arrest two
weeks later for opposing the war
and urging labor to cease all activi-
ties which in any way tended to pro-
long 1t. The socialist party made
an energetic effort to keep him out
of Jail but the United States supreme
court turned down each appeal
Later the American Federation OF
Labor voted down a resolution which
favored clemency for him.
The name of Debs as head Of the
socialist party In America" has gone
around the world. Soviet Russia re-
quested his release by this govern
ment. and he was slated by the Mos
cow congress last year to be the
future Soviet president Of the
United States" With Premier
Lenine. of Russia, he last June was
elected an honorary president of the
Korean labor congress.
Notable Strike Leader.
In 1893. Debs organized the Ameri-
can Railway union, designed to be
the one union OF all railroad men
The organization within a short time
won the celebrated Great Northern
strike. In the same year the Pull
man strike broke out and Debs ano
his confederates were arrested
charged with conspiracy to block the
mails. During his trial one juror
was reported sick" and the trial was
temporarily suspended.
Debs Is also credited with having
organized all the unions now COM
posing the "big four of the rail-
roads. He is charter member of
the Terre Haute local of the Brother
hood Of Ffremen and was recently
made a life member.
