Abstract

Eugene V. Debs made the first of five runs for the United States presidency on the Socialist Party ticket in 1900, establishing him as the popular face of American socialism for a quarter century.

But the party's success at the presidential level waned afterward, dashing the promise of a permanent socialist electoral presence.
