Archbishop Ireland says in part:
Il have read tue interview OF the Paul
ist Father, Rev. Alfred Young, on the po-
litlcal issues of the hour. He says in This
interview that, although he has hereto
fore voted the Republican ticket, he feels
compelled at the approaching election To
vote the Straight Democrats ticket aud
Furthermore that in his opinion
1000 Catholic Republicans in the
State of New York will likewise at
this election vote the Democratic ticket
and this change of front in politics, ac-
cordlng to Father Young, from the atti-
tude OF the Republican party, which, as
he secs 1t, throughout the country aud
notably IN the treatment of Questions of
educai ion aud charity in the cons itu-
tlonal amendments of the state of New
York, Is suUh as TO show him that It's
members and auherents sustain, so far as
they dare, the movement set on foot by

But, whatever may be true OF A. p
Aism IN itself, the Republican party has
neither assumed nor brought upon itself
any responsibility for Its existence or its
workings. No one act OF the party can
be quo,ed TO support different
view. Ia certain Republican CON
