By the Associated Pre CHICAGO, July 30.—Eugene V. Debs, in a letter made public last night, re- plied to the attack made by William Z. Foster, Workers' party nominee for the presidency, on Debs’ intention to sup- port the @andidacy of Robert M. La Fol- lette. Debs' letter states that he is “‘unable to understand why you (Foster) should conclude that it (Debs' indorsement of the Cleveland progressive convention) ‘will come as a shock to thousands of workers.’ " “I can readily understand,” the letter continues, “why it would have suited you far better had the Socialist party ended its career at Cleveland and disap- peared from the scene, or remained dis- severed to cut as sorry and discrediting a figure as the Communist party will in the campaign this year.” Debs declares that the Communists were prepared to indorse La Follette at St. Paul, and would have done so “had not lLa Follette publicly denounced them.” _In conclusion, the letter of the several times Socialist nominee for the presi- dency say ou may be right in your criticism * * * and I may be wrong, as I have often been before. Having no Vatican in Moscow to guide me, I must follow the light I have, and this I have done in the present instance. [— BODY IN RIVER 3 DAYS FOUND BY FISHERMEN Emmett B.
