5000 to 10000 members, and the Duluth
city government is practically In their
hands. Some of the st. Paul members
freely admit in con fidence that they
have joined merely as matter of local
politics, because no one can get posi-
tion in the city cover nment who is not
Catholic. Every member is pledged
to do all in his power to cause the de-
feat of any and all Catholics for posi-
tons of any kind.
