It ia I CAN OHNSON HI AM M AGAIN STAN A DEBS D SPEEDY DEATH OF CAPITALISM Tragic Story of Saturnalia of Blood and Tears and Shame Draws Ncatf Its End, Declares Socialist Prcsi dentlal Candidate in His Speech1 Socialist Party Has Quickened Into Life l!ie World's Enslaved Workers He Declares TKItltK I1AUTK, lniL, Aug. 26. In his add reps of acceptance today, Kugeiio V. Dob, socialist candidate for president, unld In part: "The socialist party was quickened luto llfo in the bitter struggle of tho world's enslaved workers. It ex presses their collective determination to brenl. their fetters and emancipate themselves and the race. Is It strange that the workers are loyal to such a party: that they proudly stand beneath Its blazing banners and fear lessly prcclalm Its conquering prin ciples. "We dd not plead for votes; the workers give them freely the hour they understand. But we need to destroy tho prejudlc that still exists and dispel the darkness that still pre vails In the working class world. We need the clear light of sound educa tion and the conquering power of economic and political organization. "Before the unified hosts of labor all the despotic governments on earth aro powerless and all resist ance vain. Defore their onward march all ruling classes disappear and all slavery vanishes forever. "Capitalism Is rushing blindly to Its Impending doom. All the signs portend the inevitable breakdown of the existing order. Decpseated dis content has seized upon the masses. They must Indeed be deaf who do not hear the rnutterings of the ap proaching storm. "Poverty, high prices, unemploy ment, child slavery, widespread mis ery and haggard want in a land burst ing with its abundance; prostitution and insanity, suicide and crime, these In solemn numbers tell the tragic story of capitalism's saturnalia of blood and tears and shame as Its end draws near."

Mr. Tsehirgi dealt directly with a commission merchant iii tho east. Tho apples are Jonathous.
