cracy wearing the cloths OF degen'
erate and priestridden age. Farley
wants n Catholic governor. he said.
and others a Catholic president. be-
cause they are Catholics. The Ques'
tion Of citizenship does not concern
them. These fellows are going Into
politics NTH confident assurance In
the backing from Rome and the Ro'
man Catholic world. They have
thrown down the gauge Of battle for
the conquest OF America and TO build
their theocracy upon the ruins OF this
republic as they are trying TO do In
France and Belgium at this very hour.
They are plotting against the repub'
lie but by the mercy Of God, and an
enlightened people. their plans will
be powerless 10 hinder the worldwide
advance 10 n noble citizenship and a
world confederation OF republics.
