public. We look upon the revocation of
Commissioners Valentines order. an
order fully in accord with tho historic
attitude OF our government and with
the constitution and laws Of our land.
as violation Of law and as in effect
establishing this baleful union OF
church and state.
1--WE are we'll aware that the demand
for permission and authority to wear
such distinctive dress or insignia comes
from a religious denomination that APP
proves and demands the union of
church and state or rather the subordl-
natoin OF state to the church.
The denominations which support
Commissioner Valentine in his decision
and which consistently oppose the re-
vocation OF his order. are those that
have refused to accept government
money for their schools, and that stand
for the Fundamental position OF unre-
stricted freedom for church and state.
I'VE therefore insist upon our right
to maintain the separation OF church
and state. We call upon our chief exec
utive to rescird his supervision OF the
order issued by Commissioner Falen-
tine. and thus to give adequate recog-
milton at this time TO the constitutional
and historic principle oe the effective
separation Of church and state

In view Of the fact that Holden can
not deliver single vote to the stand

Proudfoot can not deliver single vote
from Warren county to the standpat-
