ernor,f has never before held public office
and has not been the subject of attacks
The indications are that Johnson will
get most of the Socialist vote, which
was over II, 900 last year, but it is very
doubtful if the whole of that vote would

been branded as an&attack on the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Ohio.
This interpretation, say the officers.
Socialism was written, first, at the re-
quest of a priest in Toledo in whose parish
the Socialists are most active and who
has reason to know that the same per-
niciouS propaganda IS being carried on all

archbishop and the bishops of Ohio be-

would not have sanctioned any mere par

Thirdly, the federation accepted as
timely the suggestion of the Toledo priest
to sound a note OF warning to Catholic
citizens against Socialism especially since
a strong propaganda has been made by
the Socialist party-Which has. COM
plete ticket in the field--in favor of their
doctrine, advocated by several ex-priests,
a doctrine directly opposed by the Catholic
church."
