You ought to be out raising hell.
This is the fighting age.
Put on your fighting clothes.

Terre Haute, Indiana – Mr. Debs from Fifth Congressional District
From the Logansport Pharos-Reporter of October 24th:
DEBS, SOCIALIST LEADER, NOW RUNS FOR CONGRESS
—–
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 25.-Eugene Debs, twice Socialist party candidate for president, may become the first Socialist congressman from Indiana. He is a candidate from the Fifth Indiana district against Ralph Moss, Democrat and one of the authors of the rural credits bill, and Everett Sanders, Republican attorney of this city.
Debs is making a rapid-fire campaign. Contributions have come from Socialists in many parts of the United States and other countries. Many miners in the district are Socialists and Debs’ followers count heavily on his personality, which once carried him into the office of county clerk with more votes than all his opponents combined.
