bishops concurring that it is the sense
of this convention that good citizenship
is a fundamental principle of religion;
that the church, mindful of the grow
inc tendency to uncheck corruption in
the conduct of our municipal affairs
throughout the United States, the in
difference to and covert countenancing
of immortality, gambling and vice,
places herself on record as expecting
her sons to take an active part at the
ballot box and elsewhere as occasion
permits, toward the suppression of
these pernicious enemies to virtue and
good government"
