WHITE HOUSE EXPLAINS
CLEMENCY REASONS
Debs's Million Vote for Presi-
dency Had Some Influence.

WASHINGTON, Dec. % ASSOCIATED
Press) The White House issued the
following statement regarding the par
dons granted to-day:
The list in the main is made up
or those who opposed the war in one
way or another, and it Is made UP of
less than a third OF I. w. w. prisoners.
and these have either expressed full
penitence. or are booked for deporta-
uon. The Department OF Justice has
given no recommendation in behalf OF
the advocates of sabotage or the de-
struction of government by force. and
the President let it be known he would
not consider such cases. in addition to
the five soldiers on the list, many other
cases are under consideration.
No comment was made by the Presi-
dent on the case Of Debs. The Presi-
dent and the Acknowledgement had
given very extended consideration TO the
Debs petition. and it is known that the
fact that he had twice been the Presl-
Dental choice of million of voters
bad its influence in reaching a de-
cision favorable 10 his release.
The President expressed the wish
that it be stated that the grant of Glenn
ency In the cases acted upon does not
question the justice of any action OF the
courts in enforcing the law in a time
of national peril, but he feels the ends
of justice have been fairly nret In view
Of the changed conditions. The vast ma
jority OF so-called political prisoners still
imprisoned are the !. w. w. group, are
rarely American citizens and have no
good claim to Executive clemency. A
number of convicted citizens have never
been imprisoned, owing to appeals un-
der bond. There are also many thou
sands OF indictments under war legis-
lation still pending. These do not come
under Executive consideration"
a supplementary White House state
ment on the Debs case further ampli-
fled the view taken by the President
There is no question of his guilt and
that he actively and purposely OBJ
structed the draft" this statement said.
"In fact, he admitted II at the trial.
but sought to justify his action. He was
by no means. however, as rabid and out
spoken in his expressions as many
others. and but for his prominence and
the resultant far reaching effect OF his
words very probably might not have re-
ceived the sentence he did. He is an old
nan. not strong physically. He Is a
man of much personal charm and inn
pressive personality. which qualifica-
tions make him a dangerous man, cal
culated TO mlslead the unthinking and
affording excuse for those with criminal
intent"

beat Detroit by two touchdowns will
make an interesting game for Califor-

certainty about the condition of our

change in climate. but I believe they
will be In shape, and If they are, look
for victory.

rain fell throughout the afternoon, and
inasmuch as the suits were packed early
