Debs and His Cause a Portrait by James A Edgerton
James A Edgerton reflects on Eugene V. Debs amid a 1912 field of presidential hopefuls, praising Debs as a humane yet radical organizer. He traces Debs from 1890s Populist ties to the Socialist Democracy, notes his magnetism, humor, and oratorical power, and argues Debs seeks no office but drives a transformative labor vision.
