Debs, Eugene V. (1855–1926), Socialist, presidential candidate, war opponent.Born of French immigrant parents in Terre Haute, Indiana, Debs became active in the labor movement in the 1870s and created the American Railway Union (ARU), an industrial union, in 1893. Following the federal government's smashing of the ARU‐led Pullman Strike (1894), Debs slowly became convinced that corporate or monopoly capitalism could not be reformed, gravitated toward the socialist movement, and became its best‐known leader and five‐time presidential candidate of the Socialist Party of America.
In 1917, Debs led the socialist opposition to U.S. entry into
World War I, which he condemned as an imperialist war fought for the interests of the trusts. Arrested for an antiwar, antidraft speech at Canton, Ohio, on 15 June 1918, Debs began serving a ten‐year sentence at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary in April 1919. Still in prison, he received nearly 1 million votes as the Socialist Party's presidential candidate in 1920, and was pardoned by President Harding on Christmas Day, 1921. He remained a committed socialist.
Debs's attitude toward war was best expressed in this widely quoted statement: “I am not a capitalist soldier; I am a proletarian revolutionist. I am opposed to every war but one; I am for that war with heart and soul, and that is the world‐wide war of the social revolution.”
