3.5x5.5" on stock. Portrait of "Big Bill" Haywood, general secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, in upper right corner. Text above reads "For President, 1908/Socialist Party." Large image of White House along left side w/text above reading "Workers Of The World, Unite." Postmarked January 5, 1908. Moderate handling, most notably along the upper and lower right corners. VF. In 1906, Haywood, Charles Moyer, and George Pettibone, were arrested and charged w/the murder of former Idaho Gov. Frank Steunberg after notorious Pinkerton detective James McParland coerced assassin Albert Horsley into implicating them. The arrests and trials produced headlines across the nation. Clarence Darrow defended Haywood who was found not guilty in July of 1907. After the trial Eugene Debs called Haywood "The Lincoln Of Labor". In 1908 Pettibone was acquitted and charges against Moyer were also dropped. The Boise case elevated Haywood to hero status within the labor movement, and the most radical members of the Socialist Party advocated Haywood's nomination for the presidency in 1908. However, Debs was ultimately nominated for the third time.
