The official Eugene V. Debs website. Debs, if you haven't heard, was a union leader and activist who ran for president on the Socialist ticket several times in the early 20th c., with some real success:
Debs ran in 1900,1904,1908,1912 and 1920, the last race from Atlanta Prison. The slogan on a campaign poster in 1920 read: ¡°From Atlanta Prison to the Whitehouse, 1920,¡± and a popular campaign button showed Debs in prison garb, standing outside the prison gates, with the caption: ¡°For President Convict No. 9653." Debs received nearly one million votes that year!
