Oneal, James 1911-11-24

Description:	Letter from Eugene V. Debs, 11/24/1911. Writes that he has just finished reading Oneals rejoinder against Joseph Kluser. Says that Oneal has that tool of mammon cornered at every point. Mentions that he is giving Oneal a few pointers so that if Joseph Kluser responds to Oneals rejoinder he can use them to his advantage. Informs Oneal that Maxim Gorkys wife is as pure a woman as ever lived and the beast who would denounce her as a strumpet is himself rotten with moral leprosy. Assures Oneal that Maxim Gorky and his wife were lawfully married. Says that the only complaint that the church has is that Maxim Gorky and his wife refused to have their marriage sanctioned by the Greek Church of Russia, the church of the Czar. Remarks that it was this pretext that the rotten plutocracy of New York drove Maxim Gorky and his wife out of the country. Mentions that if Joseph Kluser brings up Maxim Gorky and his wife again that he relate these facts. Says that he is sure that Joseph Kluser is well paid for his dirty work. Informs Oneal that while he usually does not like to relate unsavory things about people that Joseph Kluser has his own sordid past. Writes that when he and George Brewer were in Morgantown, West Virginia, Brewer found out that Joseph Kluser had seduced and ruined a young woman there. Assures Oneal that Joseph Kluser is one of the dirtiest and most contemptible of the degenerates in the garb of priests.
