Title	O'Hare, Frank 1915-07-01
Abstract	Letter from Eugene V. Debs, 7/1/1915. Tells O'Hare that he will have to quit the NATIONAL RIP-SAW because he cannot stand the way his travel arrangements are handled. Writes that he has been "racing" all over the eastern states wearing himself out "utterly." Says that the problem is not necessarily with O'Hare or the NATIONAL RIP-SAW but with people who are not willing to book him through its offices. Remarks that the reason why some people are refusing to book him through the NATIONAL RIP-SAW is because of some advertisements it ran of a "sex nature appealing to 'sporty socialists.'" Tells O'Hare that he reached Uniontown, Pennsylvania after changing trains three times with barely enough time to clean himself up before his speech. Remarks that the same thing will happen in Cleveland, Ohio because of a missed connection in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Says that his impossible scheduling is causing comrades to think that he is "played out" because he scarcely has any energy left to speak after "jolting on cars all day long and the crazy rush to get from one place to another." Informs O'Hare that he would be less exhausted if he was allowed to make more speeches in closer proximity to one another than less speeches a couple hundred miles apart. Assures O'Hare that he is willing to "break down" working for the cause but not merely from the "all night strain and struggle to get from one point to another."
