' The League of Nations issue was viewed by the Socialists as "largely camouflage," he said. The party felt that the league question had been in? troduced by the old parties largely to cloud the Issues and keep the people's attention off domejtie issues. Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist pres? idential candidate, in prison at Atlan? ta! Ort?, was not advising the conduct of the campaign to any extent. Use was being made in party literature of what he said to Socialists visiting him. Tlie chief speaker In the campaign is the vice-presidential candidate, Sey [m??r Stedman, of Chicago, re-enforc? ed by 40 speakers or more under the national organization. He has com? pleted a tour of the southwest and on September 1 started for the Pacific coast. After making a round of the central states he plans to go east about October 1 for the balance Of the campaign. ?

The throe big states this fall from the Socialist standpoint, Branstetter said, are New York, Wisconsin and Oklahoma.

A large part of the party member? ship outside of. the foreign league fed? erations has come >ack, the Social? ist executive reported, referring to the split, last fall which resulted in for? mation of the Communist party and he Communist Labor party. No policy of concentration in sec? tions where ? Socialist sent'ment is strong will be carried on by national headquarters, according *o the party secretary. He said that the national office was making the campaign as general as it could, leaving concentra? tion to the state organizations, which could undoubtedly carry on such a policy In New York, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. ?
