SOCIALISTS TO
NAME E.V. DEBS
AS CANDIDATE
NEW YORK. May 4 (by Associated
Press).—The Socialist party of Ameri
ca will open the first national politi
cal convention of 1920 when 200 dele
gates from various sections of the
country assemble here next Saturday,
May 8. They will continue their de
liberations for a week. According to
party officers nomination of candi
dates for president and vice-president
of the United States and construction
of a platform will be the chief busi
ness before the delegates.
Socialists attach particular import
ance to this year’s convention, be
cause of attacks made on the party’s
attitude during the war and during
the investigation in Albany which led
to expulsion of the entire Socialist
delegation of five from the New York
assembly. Unseating by the house of
representatives Victor L. Berger of
Wisconsin, convicted of violating the
Espionage Act, also is likely to come
up for discussion.
Representative Socialists also de
clare that rights of free speech, free
press and free assemblage, which
paity officials assert have been en
dangered by “gag legislation"’ passed
during the war, are certain to receive
attention. The c-thics of application
now of war measures designed to pre
vent strikes also is scheduled for de
bate.
li is believed that the platform may
make clear the party’s attitude not
only towards the ‘“ex-comrades” but
toward the present Russian govern
ment. During the Socialist trial at
Albany, party leaders made it plain
that while they held a sympathetic
feeling for Soviet Russia, because it
presented a field for a great social
experiment they did not consider
themselves allied with the Commun
ist Party, from whose philosophy
they said they differed.
According to present plans, the
party will nominate only two candi
dates for national office. Eugene V.
Debs, now serving a term in Atlanta
penitentiary for violation of the Es
pionage Act. has been repeatedly ad
vocated for the presidency by promi
nent party leaders. At the Socialist
investigation of Albany, these lead
ers on the stand raised the cry of
“from prison to White House” assert
ed that Debs had been convicted for
word and not deed during the war and
compared him to Jesus of Nazareth.
The convention will be limited to
200 delegates, it has been announced
who will be apportioned to the various
states in conformity with their So
cialist membership. Each state will
have at least one delegate. New York,
with 27 delegates, is said to be the
largest delegation. Pennsylvania
with 21 is said to be second.

SHORT-ARM
JOLTS
If you don’t like the way your
friends act, why not get new friends.
Nine-tenths of the things you criti
cize in others are none of your busi
ness.
No good woman finds it necessary
to advertise the fact nor to defend
herself.
All women, except the one he gets,
take it as a personal insult when a
widower marries.
If you tell your troubles to your
self you’ll always be sure of a sympa
thetic audience.
People who talk most about the
value of saving money never have had
to do it.
All the poets are not dead but a
^ood many who think they are poets,
ought to be.

Just because a man has a big “bay
window” is no sign he has a large
outlook on life.
Life may not always be worth while
but then neither is anything else al
ways worth while.
Babies are very interesting and can
be made much more so by not being
thrust too long upon strangers.
You may take no thought of the
morrow but you’ll find the morrow
taking plenty of thought of you.
Now is the time when the man who
never does it himself, spurs his
neighbors on to make spring gardens.
Perhaps half of all the jokes that
are cracked have to do with married
life, but what everybody ought to
know is that married life is no joke.
Supposing the school teachers re
ceive the additional pay for which
they are asking—do you suppose
they will squander it foolishly on
Packards this summer?
You can’t tell much about a man
by what he says about himself nor by
what his friends or enimies say about
him, for all of them are prejudiced
one way or another, but you can tell
all about him by observing the \tay
he treats others.
