Title	Patton, J.J 1920-05-24
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs, 5/24/1920. Writes that he lives on a highly isolated ranch in Utah. Remarks that he has always thought it was an honor to represent the Los Angeles, California comrades at the Social Party Convention of 1904 and help to nominate Eugene V. Debs for President. Says that he saw in the newspaper where newspaper has been selected as the Socialist Party's candidate for President again. Assures Eugene V. Debs that he will support him in the upcoming election. Informs Eugene V. Debs that while he does not know how he ended up in prison he has not lessened his esteem for him. Says that at the same time that America has fought a war to make the world safe for democracy that it has put some of the champions of democracy in prison. Argues that future historians will hold up the present administration with scorn for posterity. Mentions that Eugene V. Debs's imprisonment proclaims to the world that the present social system is a failure. Remarks that the American people will have to fight to win their liberty anew.
