Unique Record
Eugene Victor Debs was the only
man ever to be nominated five times
for the presidency of the United
States, and the only man ever to re-
ceive such a nomination while in
prison.
Tens of thousands of Americans
loved him and recognized him as
their leader and champion; many
more hated him as the enemy of the
social order of the day. But regard
less, Debs fought for the principles
he thought right, even at the cost of
his personal liberty. He was jailed
because he insisted on living up to
those principles, even when they led
MIN to monkey with the machinery
of American war-efficiency.
He believed the American Govern
ment was wrong but. consistent with
his expressed adherence of war and
bloodshed, he refused to sanction the
overthrow of that or any government
by force.
Born i'm Terre Haute
Gene Debs, as he was Familiarity
called, was born Nov. 5, 1855, in
Terre Haute, Ind, the son of French
immigrants. His parents were poor;
there were many children, and his
schooling was cut short after his
graduation from the Old Seminary
school Of Terre Haute at the age
Of Is.

in the shops and later as fireman
