The San Francisco call., 1896-02-23
from A. P. A. papers and A. P. A. speakers.
Let me take up his instances in order
az WASHINGTON GLADDEN.

Iquoted Washington GLADDEN. as witness to
the fact that panic OF terror relgned in Ohio
because of the circulation OF forged docu-
ments.
Mr.. Hudelson says: "He quoted Washington
GLADDEN. and holds me and my order response
ble."
l did not hold the A. P. A. responsible for
what GLADDEN. says, but hold the A. P. A. re-
sponsible for the facts to which GLADDEN. bears
the eircula ton of the vilest forgeries which
were ever perpetrated by the depraved in
genuity of man. For these forgeries and for
the effects produced by them in this City and
in this State l hold Benjamin Hudelson re-
sponsible also.
(b) ELBERT HUBBARD.
quoted Ebert Hubbard as q witness to the
TACT that an apprehension of Catholic up
Mr.. Hudelson complains that I hold him re-
sponsible for what Mr.. Hubbard said.
| hold his order responsible for tie facts to
which Mr.. Hubbard testifies. The A. P. A. dis
tributed these documents to which Mr.. Hub
bard referred, and Hudelsou dares not deny
it. He knows that he and his order are
he has no right to whine now that hold him
responsible. l am coming to more lies, Mr..
Hudelson. am taking my time about it, De
cause am hunting in a corral. am coming
to the exposure of your own deceit and your
own forgery. I will tell how you lied about
the church, how you lied about the offices, how
lied about your order and how you lied about
yourself. What is more, Mr.. HudelSon, ex-
pect to prove it.
(c) TRAYNoR AGAIN.
quoted from Traynor's message as to the
organization of an A. P. A. militia. That
message bore the same relation to the A. P. A.
that the Presidents message does to the party
to which he belongs. In that message 1raynor
asserted mat the Catholics were arming and
that the country was therefore in danger. He
recommended that the Apaists should also arm
to protect our ms titutions. This is the teach
Ing OF the A. p. A. and for 1t the A. P. A. and
10 ra rag
This man, living in the nineteenth century,
ana writing in metropolitan paper, is
pilloried before q laughing world as the dis
penser of tales with which wicked nursery
maids frighten little children into submission
And this reverend bogieman does it all for the
advancement of Benjamin Hudeson and the
(d) THE AMERICAN PATRIOT.
Mr.. Hudelson shows a disposition to re-
nounce the Ape1st press He declares the order
Is no more responsible for what occurs in these
papers than is the Democratic party for what
occurs in Democratic paper.
The parallel is absurd. Our papers are not
controlled by patty organizations. The Demo-
cratic party OF San Francisco has neither hand,
act nor part in the management OF the Exam
iner The Republican party has nothing to
say to the policy of THE CALL. But the Amer
lean Patriot is the Endorsed organ of the A.
?. A, and was founded to spread A. P A. prin-
ciples.
Here is the Endorsement of Mr.. Hudelson's
predecessor;
THE PATRIOT PUBLISHING CoMPANY,o

SAN FRANCISCO, September 20, 1894.
PAPER FOB ALL WHO LOVE AMERICAN INsTI-
TUTIoNS.
To the Friends and Councils Of the Il. p H. State
Of California - RJENDs: 1t being of great i'm
portance that our order have a newspaper on a
good and solid basis, TO set forth and defend the
principles we agitate, and as the American Patriot
of this City has recently changed hands and is now
published by the Patriot Publishing Company, a
per share, we think it wise and eminently proper
that all friends of the order, individually and COL
lectively. should lend a helping hand, to the end
that an able paper. edited in the interest OF our
order may become an assured fact
On August = last, the American Patriot was pur-
chased from d. I. Stanley. the then owner of the
paper. The first payments were made by friends
contributing according 10 their means, and at this
writing the paper has not been fully paid for. The
advertisements inthe paper yet amount TO lit
tle many advertisers being timid, and the SUBJ
scriptions are not enough to meet all demands upon
the paper. The dictatorship consists of five care
full and able men of our order. ]. @. A. Henry, of
whom the Pope has heard, is the managing editor
G. A Hubbell, business manager. The paper is
now in good shape build upon The intention is TO
Immediately sell only so much OF the CAPITAL stoc
for a reserve fund as will meet from time TO time
the legitimate demands upon the paper above its
present small earnings But no assessm EMS SHAH
be levied so long ock can be sold enable the
directors to meet the more pressing demands.
Now I, G. G. Baker, State president OF the order
known as the A. p. A, State OF Californ MIA, most
earnestly suggest that all councils and friends in
dividually throughout the State subscribe for and
paper OF which we may be proud 4 few individ
uas in this City have taken much as 500 each
Council No. of this City has taken high as $500
worth of stock. So, while you ct 1t be liberal

send the certificates of stock, through them to the
purchasers. Yours in F., p. and p,
State President American Protective Asso cia-
tion.
Business Manager Patriot Publishing Company.
The sentiments of Mr.. Baker are endorsed by
Mr.. Hudelson:
THE POWER OF THE PRESS.
BY THE STATE PRESIDENT.
The power of the press in molding the public
mind car not be oyerestimated; it is the educator
of the people upon the questions confronting them
Therefore we should do all within our power to
build up strong and vigorous paper, to the end
that the people may be educated along the lines
OF the objects and aims OF the A. P. a.
We are misrepresented everywhere, and this
misrepresentation Will prejudice many good and
honest Americans against us if do not meet it
and set ourselves right. The American Patriot has
often been the center OF attack by our enemy aud
II he succeeds in scattering our forces at this
center he will have succeeded in weakening us all
along the line.
Patronize and support many papers as Won
cRoose put see 10 IT that you do not waver in your
friendship for the Patriot. If 1t is not lust what
you would like it to be help make it better-giye to
1t your word of encouragement, your support your
in very short time make it power that wonld
cause the enemies of good government to tremble
and the Roman Catholic hierarchy to realize that
it must stop making faces at our public schools nd
cease its interference in our civil and political
affairs
Friends of California, let us remember that this
is a time TO be seriously in earnest. Our home
our school, our Government is (sc) the cues,
uon-let us rally everywhere; take up the fight
with rene xed energy; be willing to work and to
sacrifce II need be, that We have strong Wig
orous and wde-awake paper. Rally 10 the
Patriots support, that it may be able to fight our
battles before the people B. +. HUDELsoN.
After all these Endorsements B. f. Hudelson
now rises to disown his organ. But it is too
late, Mr.. Hudelson. You have declared it to
be "molder of public opinion" al thank
thee, Jew, for teaching me that word" ga
molder of public epinfon." Public opinion is
to be m olded by spreading forgery, calumny,
falsenood broadcast. 1t may be done as we'll
by the signed communication as by the
authoritative editorial Whisper 1t that the
papists are bloodthirsty. Drop an obscure hin t
that there are arms concealed in churches
Suggest that cutting the throats of Protestants
is a favorite pastime of the Pope. A word
here, a paragraph there, an innuendo, a bold
statement-all these things mold public
opinion and because they are intended to
mold public opinion, to the seeds of
bigotry, of hatred and of all uncharitableness-
you, Mr.. Benjamin Hudelson, are responsible.
have taken up so much space in replying to
Mr.. Hudelson's denials that l defer the second
