Debs, veteran leader in the Socialist
party. from the sanitarium in which
he is confined near here, today issued
statement in the form of an open
letter to the party, accepting the
nomination of the recent Cleveland

There are times when a retreat
is actually an advance" he wrote
in commenting upon the decision of
the convention to support the La Fol-
lette candidacy.
LET us of the Socialist party get
behind this movement united1y and
Wholeheartedly; let US enter the cam
paisn with all the support at our
command and help make it an over
WhelminS success.
Il am aware of all the objections
made to the convention Of the Con-
ference for Progressive Political Ac-
tion and to the results of its de-
liberations, but the fact remains that
the historic gathering of labor's for
ward looking forces was in embryo

beginning and, under the circum-
stances. Il very promising one"
Mr.. Debs said he would not be able,
because of his physical condition, to
take any active part in the cam

tidence to the eventual restoration of
vigorous health.
I'VE have learned in the Socialist
movement by practical experience
Notwithstanding our no compromise
dogma, that we cannot lay down
hard and fast rules to govern our
party and ourselves under all the
exigencies that arise from time to
time in the development of the labor
movement" MIR. Debs wrote as his

GOOD IN MARYLAND
Weller Tells President Bryan
Is DisIiked-Aid for La
Toilette.

Maryland cannot be put unquestion-
ably in the Democratic column this
year, Senator o. +. Weller of Mary
land told President Coolidge today,
in discussing at the White House the
general political situation in his home
state.
although Maryland is normally a
purely Democratic state and has
about $4,000 more signed-up Demo-
Gratis than Republicans" the Sena-
tor said, there is a vast majority of
business men of liberal minds who
vote as they think, and not along
strictly party lines, and it is not at
all unlikely that the Democrats of
Maryland will swing the vote for
Coolidge as Maryland went for Nc
Kinley by $4,000 in 1896 and by 49,
600 in 1900"
However, Senator Weller declared
that it was too early as yet to tell
definitely how the political wind is
blowing. He is among the hrSt OF
the prominent Republicans coming to
give the lay of the political land to
the President
Finds Bryan Unpopular.
The reason Senator Weller gave as
making it possible for Maryland to
swing Republican is that although
John w. Davis has a large following
in Maryland. the regulation Demo-
Gratis are even less than lukewarm
toward the ticket as whole. Davis
is weak in the West and Bryan is
weak in the East" Senator Weller
pointed out TO the President. And
Maryland doesn't like the combina-
ton. Maryland helped defeat Will
liam Jennings once, and Brother
Charlie is even less popular"
Senator Weller further told the
President that he believed La Fol-
lette would poll a vote of real pro-
portions from the discontented ele-
ment among the labor classes. In
fact, he thought there would be much
more of a so-called labor vote regis
tered than ever before in the State.
This. however, Senator Weller said
he felt absolutely confident would
work to the benefit of the Republican
chances. the labor vote detracting en-
tirely from the old-time died in the
wool Democratic organization.
