Title	Sharts, Joseph W 1920-11-24
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs on Joseph W. Sharts, Attorney at Law letterhead, 11/24/1920. Says that he has just returned from a 3 day trial in Troy, Ohio. Assures Eugene V. Debs that he has not forgotten about him. Says that in addition to editing the MIAMI VALLEY SOCIALIST he has taken it upon himself to peddle the paper door to door. Remarks that the MIAMI VALLEY SOCIALIST is now the official Socialist Party newspaper for the state of Ohio because of the split in the Socialist Party that left control of the TOILER to the left wing. Tells Eugene V. Debs that the "Communist obsession hit Ohio worse than any other state." Mentions that it will be hard work rebuilding the Socialist Party in Ohio because only the "Jews and the Finns" remained in party after the split. Mentions that only by going out and collecting 10,000 signatures was Eugene V. Debs's name able to get on the ballot. Tells Eugene V. Debs that the Eugene V. Debs received 57,147 votes. Writes that he is going to Akron, Ohio to debate Marguerite Prevey on the resolution "that industrial action is all important for the emancipation of the workers." Mentions that the longer that Eugene V. Debs is in prison the harder he is going to work for socialism. Remarks that his wife cast her first vote for Eugene V. Debs on 11/02/1920. Expresses the hope that Eugene V. Debs will speak in Dayton, Ohio when he gets out of prison. Says that he is sending Eugene V. Debs greetings from Dan Farrell, Shorty Motter, and Joe Woodward.
