Title	O'Hare, Frank 1918-01-02
Abstract	Letter from Eugene V. Debs, 1/2/1918. Expresses the hope that Kate Richards O'Hare is now safely at home and that he and his family have a happy New Year. Says that he objected to the spirit with which O'Hare wrote his last letter. Writes that he did not appreciate O'Hare's snide remarks regarding the SOCIAL REVOLUTION. Tells O'Hare that Kate Richards O'Hare received a full page in the December issue of the SOCIAL REVOLUTION. Assures O'Hare that he, as one of the editors of the SOCIAL REVOLUTION, has been trying to follow Kate Richards O'Hare's case closely. Remarks that Kate Richards O'Hare is not the only "martyr in the revolutionary movement" who was arrested. Reminds O'Hare that there are hundreds of comrades who have "lain in jail, abused, starved, beaten and then sentenced from one to fifteen years in the penitentiary without anyone to make a fuss over their brutal persecution" like the Industrial Workers of the World members in prison in Chicago, Illinois, Stanley J. Clark, or Rena Mooney. Assures O'Hare that he supports publicizing Kate Richards O'Hare's case as he does but that he does not want it to be "degraded into an advertising campaign" as has happened in the past. Writes that it is "pure bosh" that Kate Richards O'Hare is discriminated against in the movement because she is a woman. Mentions that Kate Richards O'Hare was never discriminated against in the same way he was when Victor Berger, John Spargo, and Morris Hillquit were the "ruling trinity" of the Socialist Party. Reminds O'Hare that he has endured many hardships, too, like being in jail, "covered with lice, with hundreds of hungry squeaking sewer rats for bed-fellows" or being followed around by detectives and hired assassins, and receiving death threats from all parts of the country. Informs O'Hare that if he wants to know what the leaders of the party think about Kate Richards O'Hare's case that he should ask them himself.
