DBHS NOTIFIED OF NOMINATION Federal Prisoner Nt?. 2053 Accept? tho Nomination-Posos for Movies (Atlanta Georgian, May 30.) Clad in thc prison uniform of blue denim, which has superseded the tra ditional stripes, Eugene V. Dobs, for many years the standard hearer of the Socialist party, now Federal Prisoner Xo. 2G">3, Saturday recoiv bd formal notification that he had again been nominated for tho Presi dvMicy of the United Stut.es, and In a carefully prepared and slowly deliv ered address ho accepted tho honor paid him by his comrades. It was a scene unique in the his tory of American politics-the ten dering of a nomination for the pres idency of a nation to a man then serving In prison for violating the laws of that nation-a man whose prison term would outlast two terms as President if he were elected, who can make no campaign addresses, who will not bo permitted even to Issue campaign literature or state ments or to write political letters. Posed for tho 'Movies. The official notification took place in the office of Warden Zerbst, at the front of the big prison, after Con vict Debs ?nd the party of comrades who had called upon him had gone into the Moy sunshine outside the main entrance and posed for innu merable photographs and many feet of movie film. Debs' blue eyes blink ed In the bright sunshine, made glar ing by the white marble steps and the tall walls. His bald head glis tened as he bent forward to greet the comrades as they passed In re view and shook hands with tho idol of their party. After this ceremony he turned and went back into the prison-with nine moro years to stay there unless a pardon comes to him or a general amnesty is granted to all prisoners convicted of sedi tion, espionage and similar, offenses classed as "political." Where I>ebs Stands To-day. Speaking to those present who h4d come to tender him the nomination of the Socialist party for President, Debs said: "Before accepting . this nomina tion . lt is .proper that" I .should,suplaln .tho~j^aoa-that'-i>rontirt^ sent tb the lise Of my"name. When I was last nominated, in 1912, I con cluded that I had already been hon ored far beyond my deserts and could nover again, in Justice to tho party and to myself, allow my name to bo used In connection with tho nomina tion for any office. "But* I have often had to change my mind as to what I should or should not do. I declined the frst j nomination 1 was ever offered by the Socialist party, in lflOO, because 1 I decided to avoid every appearance of ' self-seeking, but 1 found it necessary to change my mind because my duty to the party was paramount. "So, when it came to pass that my comrades began to write to urge me to become again the standard bearer of the Socialist party, in the belief that this might bring together the various elements which have arisen in the party, I felt that if my accept ance of the nomination would have a tendency to reunite these eloments it was my duty to grant the request of my comrades. I considered the matter carefully, and I yield to their Judgment. "1 feel that, in Justice to this ex pression of confidence, I must be per fectly frank with these delegates, and through them with tho comrades at large. I have seen tho platform you have adopted, and I rogrot that I cannot give it my unqualified ap proval. I admit that lt Is a masterly piece of writing, and that it sets forth tho essential principles of the Socialist party. But it. could have been made to have a moro effective appeal to tho working class of the country. More stress should have been given to the necessity for Indus trial organization. "However, a platform is not so very Important, after all. Wo cnn breathe the breath of revolution into any kind of platform, and tho most perfectly written platform is useless without that. A party platform ls like a musical instrument-you can play any tune you wish to got out of it. "I have always been a radical, and never moro than now. I was never afraid of being too radical, but I have been afraid of becoming con servativo. If we aro right, we cannot bo loo radical. "I warn tho Socialist party against any policy or attitude that would in dicate we aro afraid to state our po sition clearly and definitely, without four of the consequences. Tho Social ist platform is not intended to catch votes, but to show frankly and ex actly where we stand." Debs closed his address by thank ing personally tho members of the delegation and expressing through thom his thanks to his comrades throughout the country. "Loft Only Church and Rectory.

D.-v? lunn, and .td'??tef Not in Politics. It has been persistently rumored that the Oconee Post of the Ameri can Legion would this summer put in the field a ticket in the coming campaign. Wo wish, once and for all, hence evermore and without end, to make it plain that this is' a wilful, malicious and unmitigated false rep resentation of the facts. The Ameri can Legion will put out no man for office, will run no man for any office, and any statement by anybody to the contrary is false. We ore not in poli tics in tho sense that we will run anybody. Wo are In politics in tho sense that we will acquaint ourselves nt all times with the issues of the day, take our stand upon them, and as individuals support the best men to carry into effect our ideas. In this way wo feel that we can best serve our country. Be lt understood that no member of the Legion is barred from enter ing politics as an Individual. Ear from being unfit for office, we feel that tho members of the Legion, or ex-service men, would make good of ficers, because "Ile who serves his country best in time of war will in nil likelihood serve it best in time of peace." However, if any member of the Legion offers for office, he will do so as an individual, and not as the candidate of the Legion. Harry R. Hughs, Commander. Call Mooting of American Logion.
