upon by the voters on November
2nd.
An examination of the pamphlet
issued by the secretary of stater

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 23.
(AP) The human brotherhood
that Eugene V. Debs gave his life
to bring about was his in death
today.
At the bier of the famous so
cialist in his comfortable Terre
Haute home there came mourners
from every social strata. Outside
the flower-embowered parlor
where lay the body, they left their
worldly mantles of political faith,
social convictions and religious
beliefs to do obeisance to a be
loved friend.
Capitalists, against whom Debs
used his most effective invectives,
were here at the funeral, because
they loved the charitable vislon
arian. And the seamed faces of
labor whose cause was ever on
Debs' escutcheon, streamed a ben
ediction of tears. Rich and poor,
lofty and humble, it was brother
hood of man much as Debs hoped
for.
Here and there in the mass of
humanity that engulfed the Debs
home and stretched for half a
block in. three directions was an
enfeebled . neighbor who had
known this man since, as a pink
cheeked youth of 16. he first
learned of, the workers problem
as a fireman on the Terre Haute
and Indianapolis railway. Later
companions, Morris HUlquit ., of
New YorR.' Congrf f sm.an CVJctbr
Berger of Wisconsin and Seymour
Stedman of Chicago,, who had
stood shoulder to shoulder with
Debs in the battle of socialism,
had come to. give testimony of
their affection.
After the funeral ceremony at
the Debs' home the body was
taken to Indianapolis to be cre
mated. The ashes will be burled
in a Terre Haute cemetery. Pall
bearers were taken from the ranks
of Terre Haute socialists and
workers: There was no religious
service as Debs was a' member of
ho church.
Debs died in a sanitarium near
Chicago Wednesday night after
suffering a nervous breakdown a
month earlier. " He had suffered
from heart trouble. He was near
ing his 71st birthday.
"His love was all encompassing.
It knew no geographical limita
tions, was not limited by race or
creed," said Stedman, Debs'
mouth piece itt the election of
1920,. when the socialist leader,
confined in' Atlanta' federal peni
tentiary, was hiS party's presiden
tial candidate: j 1 f.
Berger, who la said to have con
verted Debs to socialism, Hillqult
and William Cnnnea, of Chicag,
also euologized the Indianian.
Cunnea, Debs attorney, when
he was convicted of obstroctihg
the draft during the world war;
recalled Debs serenity at his trial.
"There wniP hV hitterhess ; In
him," Cunnea asserted, "When the
newspaper reporter, whose testi
mony convicted Debs, met him
outside the court' and ' tears
streaming front his eyes, cried:
YoU don't blame me, Mr. Debs?
This exemplar of the Nazarene
comforted him, No, my boy. you
told the truth. I bless you;for it
''And when he came back from
Atlanta to Terre Haute where, he
had been born and had lived all
his life, I shall never forget his
words at his own threshold.
Thousands outside were cheering
him. With arms outstretched to
gather to his breast the wife who
had been his comforter, in dark
ness, he said: 'Home again He
is now home again where- winds
of opposition can' never touch
him." '

Violation of Discipline by Faction
al Activities Held
Reason
MOSCOW. Russia, Oct. 23.
(AP) Leon Trotsky and Leon
Kanieneff were-ousted today from
the all powerful political bureau
of the communist party. Gregory
Zinovief f , was expelled from the
third communist Internationale. .
This action was taken late to
night by the central executive
eommitlee and the central con
trolling commission of the com
munist party,, which thus disci
plined - the three men for, their
factional activities.
They also strongly censuered
M. Piatakoff. vice president of
the supreme council of national
economy jAMr Sekonlkoff, former
commissar of finance; M. Smflgit
of the coal ahd bil ttureau and M.
EVdokimoff, as members of the
central executive committee and
Mme. Nlktilaieva, as deputy mem
ber of the . committee, as well as
Trotsky, Kameneff and Zlnotieff,
for violation of party discipline.
The resolution condemning the
opposition' group declares that
Zinovief f rendered himself, ineli
gible for further work in the
third Internationale by his fac
tional activities within that body.
It further sftys that Zlnovieff does
not express the policy of the all
Hussian ' communist party Within
the third Internationale; thit. he
earned the disapproval ot the
American, British, French, Ger
man and other foreign sections of
the-third Internationale, thereby
losing the confidence of alt
branches of that organization.
The case of the opposition
group, will be considered further
at the fifteenth congress of the
All-Russian communist party,
opening next Thursday, at which
M. Stalin will present the view of
the ' majority. ;
