OHare, Frank 1917-12-27

Description:	Letter to Eugene V. Debs, 12/27/1917. Writes that he could not believe that the socialists own press would characterize Kate Richards OHare as a foul mouthed virago as the ST. LOUIS LABOR did on 12/22/1917. Remarks that he also could not believe that the SOCIAL REVOLUTIONs editors did not give one comradely word in Kate Richards OHares behalf even though she is an associate editor of the newspaper in its last issue. Says that Kate Richards OHare has long told him of the snubs and scorn she experienced by the movements kumrid leaders because she was a woman. Remarks that if Kate Richards OHare had been a man the public would have immediately been informed of the facts regarding her case without any hint of a libelous character. Tells Eugene V. Debs that Kate Richards OHare will be returning home tomorrow and hopes that it will help relieve her of the fearful three months she just endured. Mentions that Kate Richards OHare has received just one letter from the Socialist Party leadership and that has been from Eugene V. Debs. Says that despite the leaderships lack of interest in her case she has received many, many letters from the rank and file. Suggests that Kate Richards OHare will finally get the rest deserves while in prison. Expresses the hope that there is enough interest in Kate Richards OHares among the Socialist Partys leaders to allow him to take care of his family instead of doing what other comrades should be doing for her. Asks that Eugene V. Debs find out what the leaders of the Socialist Party intend on doing for Kate Richards OHare and get back to him.
