AN OPEN LETTER TO SOCIALISTS.

To All Socialists:
Comrades: 1t is our duty to use
all OF our influence, morally and DO
lltically, in behalf of Mr.. Thos. e.
Watson against our common enemy,
the Roman Catholic Hierarchy. The
Roman Catholic organization is, as
We all know, the largest and strong
est body that stands in the way of
socializing the world. With the
scum of the cities as it's members it
can have them do anything, for they
have been taught that it is no sin to
do whatever the priests tell them to
do. Therefore it behooves us as a
body to give Mr.. Watson our earnest
support in his great fight against the
encroachments Of the Roman Cath
olic Hierarchy-''the deadliest men
ace to our liberties and to our civ
1liZation." G. L. CANNON

A FEW THINGS OF TIE RO-
MAN CATHOLIC HIERARCHY.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: I have just
read where the U. S. Government
has had you arrested for sending OBJ
scene literature through the mails.
If anything that you had in the
chapters of the Hierarchy is too vul-
gar to pass through the mails, then
the Bible and Shakespeare must also
be excluded 1t seems to me that it
is the Catholic influence again that
is causing the Government to move.
No Protestant jury can be found to
convict you. And what they intend
for your ruin will increase your cir
culation. At the right moment I
will take hold of your organization
for the exclusion of the Roman
Catholics and their influence. No
one knows them better than do. I

AFFECTION ISN'T A LONG SUIT
WITH THIS BRAND OF Is. O..

Dear Sir: Being a subscriber to
your Magazine, and approaching the
stand you are taking against the
menace of the Roman Cath Ollie
Church to the spirit of the American
Government, I take this method of
imparting bit Of information which
may possibly be used by you to adj
vantage.
About ten days ago, one Martin
Conner, vice-president of the First
National Bank, of this city, and
jealous Roman Catholic, died, leav-
ing fortune of two hundred thou
sand, to four hundred thousand dol
lars. He had somewhere about one
hundred thousand dollars on deposit
in his bank, and thirty or forty
thousand dollars in the stock of the
bank. He also owned six valuable
brick store houses, and other prop
erty in this city, and large tracts of
land in the surrounding countrys
and it is said that he owned valuable
property in an Oklahoma city, and
in otIMr places. He came to this
city over thirty years ago, and was
worth very little at that time. He
made his fortune out of the people
of this county, and surrounding
counties. Himself and wife never
had any children. His wife died
about two years ago. He has a sis
ter and two or three nieees and
nephews in Philadelphia He did
have two sisters, but one of them
died, leaving two children. These
relatives are poor people.
In a former will, he left to the
sister now. dead, five hundred dol
lars. Since her death, he made a
will, dividing this five hundred dol
lars between her two children. To
the others he gave hundred or two
hundred dollars each. To a nephew,
he gave his private library and sill
verware (not amounting to much).
He had negro man and his wife
(the wife with the very appropriate
name of Kindness), who resided in
small house on his residence lot,
and who had been with him for over
thirty years, and served him faith
fully and humbly in any and all con-
editions during that time (two of the
best negroes in the city,; to Kind
ness he gave one hundred dollars.
He willed his entire fortune, ex-
cept the above mentioned items, to
the Roman Catholic Church, making

him as executor, young man
named Lifford, who had served him

feel you need u.s., but as a token of

you. The honest farmers having
heard that you would likely be

and Georgians, strong men, to say
nothing of the good women and
children, are ready to serve you in

They are playing to your hand;
eyory move they make will make you

are desperate? If you need me call
