There was a great deal OF indigna-
ton among Catholics yesterday over an
attempt to lend the sanction or their
religion to an advertising dodger Wnlcn
was distributed outside the churches
after the late masses. This dodger was
labeled The Catholic Record and con-
tanned a few political advertisements
in addition to paid ecomiums Of Carroll
Cook and Congressman Hayes and
Kahn
Knowing that The Monitor Is the
only recognized organ or the arch
diocese and that there Is no such paper
as THE Catholic Record" Catholics re-
sented the use OF the name or their
church on a political advertising dodg-
er. When the dodgers were distributed
after the last mass at the cathedral and
other churches. there was great deal
Of criticism OF the man who printed
them and OF the candidates who were
willing to resort to such questionable
methods OF advertising themselves
'The Catholic Record" 50 called, pur-
ports to be a monthly publication sell
ing for 10 cents a copy The copies
circulated yesterday have the words:
Vol. IA, No. H." The name OF
Thomas J. O'Neill OF 2215 Devisadero
street Is given as that OF the editor"
AS a matter OF fact. the issue which
was distributed yesterday was the only
issue OF this pretended paper and IL
was given away. like any other adver-
Using handful. instead of being sold
Realizing that the Catholic name had
been used without authority to lend
the appearance OF dignity to an ad-
vertising circular. many Catholics into
whose hands copies of the dodger were
thrust as they went away from divine
services showed their indignation by
tearing the paper into bits and throw
ing it into the gutter.
Those who took the trouble TO
glance through the contents were
greatly incensed to and that the prfn-
cipal advertisers were Carroll Cook and
Congressman E. A. Hayes and Julius
Kahn.
Carroll Cooks advertisement in a
dodger labeled THE Catholic Record
is particularly insulting to Catholics
in view OF the outrageous treatment
which Cook accorded Rev. Terence
Caraher pastor Of St. Francis church,
when that brave priest exposed and
fought the judicial protection which
Cook gave to places OF unspeakable
infamy.
Congressman Hayes hurt himself in
the eyes OF local Catholics who are
proud OF St. Ignatius church and col
lege and of the charitable and educa-
tionaI work which has been done in

tempted to ruin the great Jesuit foun-
dation of Georgetown university to aid
his real estate speculations in the dis
trict Of Columbia.
OF Julius Kahn the circular says
Many and many a worthy charitable
cause has received his help and assist
ance. but his natural mOdesty and re-
firing disposition would not permit him
to have his name heralded as a public
benefactOr."
None are so sensitive as Catholics
about any attempt TO use the name OF
their church TO do dubious politics, and
the fraud which was practiced yester-
day under the Catholic name. with alb
solutely no warrant from any oficiaI
OF the archdiocese. has deeply incensed
the Catholic people OF San Francisco.
