OHare, Frank 1915-02-14

Description:	Letter from Eugene V. Debs, 02/14/1915. Asks that OHare explain what possessed him to schedule a stop of his lecture tour in the inaccessible place like Tooele, Utah. Tells OHare that there was no way for him to get from there to Burley, Idaho, where one of the biggest meetings of the tour was to be held, because he could not get to Salt Lake City, Utah in enough time to make the midnight train. Writes that he has been on the road for 5 weeks now and spends about 18 to 20 hours a day working. Says that in his rush to get to Salt Lake City, Utah he got terribly sick. Remarks that he ought to cancel the rest of the dates and go home. Informs OHare that he cant go out of a hot hall, covered with sweat, and climb into an open buggy on a bitter cold, raw night and rise 17 miles over half-frozen roads and then stand waiting for a train again. Says that from now on he is going to do his own booking. Mentions that he feels like a criminal for not making his Burley, Idaho engagement.
