! RELIGION AND THE NORWEGIAN

Editor Representatives:
l have seen your commentator on a
letter in the Representative where there
is published an attack, made by an editor
of Chicago paper, "Amerika" on P. P.

gard to the Christian religion and hope
YOU will not drop the subject before your
influence on these papers VIII at least
induce them to drop the subject.
The reform papers in this state, and es-
pecially those in the Norwegian Ian
guage. which l am most acquainted with,
seem to have made 1t rule to rake down
on the Christian religion, which, / think
has checked the progress of the Peoples
party. to greater extent than any other
impeachment.
There are among the Norwegians thou
sands of good men, who read only the
Norwegian literature. and who, being
mostly church people, will not support
such papers. l wrote an article to one Of
these Norwegian reform papers, in regard
to this, and it was refused publication be-
cause they thought they saw theology in
it.
Will you please inform me through the
Representative II there is any Norwegian
Peoples Party paper In the state, which
symapthiZes with, and does not deride
ministers of the gospel, and everything
pertaining to the Christian religion.
