[The story on the printed page. The Daily Worker, Chicago, Ill., October 23, 1926, page 1]

Eugene V. Debs, national chairman of the socialist party, is dead as a result of the ravages of a disease of the heart that was intensified by over two years' imprisonment in a capitalist penitentiary.

Debs, his gaunt frame all but a shadow, a faint smile parting his lips, breathed his last Wednesday evening at Lindlahr Sanitarium, Elmhurst, Ill.

Debs had gone to Elmhurst several weeks ago for rest to recuperate from a nervous breakdown caused by a heart illness of long standing and a kidney disease. If he had lived he would have been 71 years old on November 5.

At his bedside when the end came were his wife, Katherine, his faithful partner and brother, Theodore and two sisters. Messages of condolence began pouring into the bereaved relatives from all over the country when the sad news became known. * * * Eugene Victor Debs was born at Terre Haute, Ind., November 5, 1855, a son of Daniel and Marguerite Bette-(Continued from page 3)
