Reverend and Dear Sir.
lIt alH well aware that the dignity
OF your sacred office iOrbids the exercise
OF your influence Ia any political matter

Nevertheless, We are fully persuaded
that the questions before the country 10
the pending presidential campaign are OIL
au tsprcl-IJ serious chardcte-, because
they involve fundamental moral issues.

Recalling with gratitude the patriotism
and eminent public services or the late
most Rev. Archbishop Hlghes and many
others a the Roman catholic clergy.
when The integrity OF our nberality was
threatened on a former occasion, We take
the liberty to suggest that the presen, Is
"a period Of equal danger. The govern
ment is not threatened by physical force
but insidious and false ideas that IN
cipicnt anarchy and contempt for proper
authority are indrstrlously prOpagatcd
throughout our country.
'lt IS not our purpose TO argue the fore
going suggestions. We merely desire 20
respectfully express the opinion that pres

questions that powerfully appeal
TO the religious Instructors OF the people.
"Our committee IS not partisan. It
Includes neither Cfice holders nor Office
seekers. We have 10 personal political

There is an intense rivalry between
the watermelon and tomato growers
as to who can produce the earliest. Sal
zer's Earliest Watermelon ripened in
1895 in SO days. That record is to be
beaten, and Salzer pays 500 to the win
ner! Then on tomatoes the record on
$50 days the Earliest Tomato" in 1895
was 6S days. That's to be beaten, and
$50 paid, Salzer challenges the world
to produce earlier melons, tomatoes,
cabbages, radishes, peas or sweet corn
than he offers. Get his mammoth cat
