1855-1926: Eugene V. Debs - He was a labor leader and a member of the democratic party who was instrumental in the founding of several unions. Debs ran for the presidency as a socialist five times, once from prison. Debs was most significant for representing an oft-maligned political view during the first red scare and for advancing the cause of especially industrial unionism in the late 19th and early 20th century.
