Debs Pocket Party in Indianapolis
Debs pocket party in Indianapolis shows a national meeting of the social democracy unlikely to materialize as of noon with few delegates present. Eugene V. Debs, once head of the American Railway Union, reportedly sponsored the call but is focused on reorganizing the railway union rather than accepting a presidential nomination. The low turnout is blamed on the socialist invitation to nominate their own candidates for president and vice president.
