"What did Mr. i>ebs do when the hoys who have been spoken of here were at the front, and why is he in prison in Atlanta, and why this propa ganda around here to get hint out, which Is being circulated in our of fices today? When our hoys were fac lug the crisis of the war. and when men from your districts and mine were going down by the thousands every day Mr. Debs was out In Ohio preaching to the worklngmen, asking them to cut i.l'f the supplies for our boys and to break up the Instrumentalities of this count vy with which to prosecute the war. lie an id to them.
