The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-03-06

General,
Those circulating the report point
out the facts that Catholic cardinal
opened the Democratic convention
that nominated Mr.. Wilson with
prayer. That when Mr.. Wilson re-
Gently visited his old home at Staun-
ton, Va, Catholic priest opened the
reception ceremonies with prayer.
That Mr.. Wilson as Governor of New
Jersey, has had for his private secre-
tary, a Catholic and a Jesuit. and
that this same Catholic is to be his
private secretary at the White House.
That Mrs. Wilson, wife of the coming
president, has selected young lady
for her private secretary who is
Catholic.
If the president should appoint a
Catholic Postmaster General, that Of
fetal would fill the postoffice depart
ment at Washington with Catholics,
Catholic postnasters would be ap-
pointed throughout the nation, Cath
olics would be placed on the rural
routes and the most important and
vital branch of the public service
would he in the hands OF men who
are under the domination of the Ro-
man Pontiff.
The American people are not will
ing to trust these vital interests to
such hands. Those periodicals that
s<are protesting against the rule OF
sRomanism in this land, would be
chucked into the wastebaskets,. riots
would follow and the results might
Shecome more serious than we would
like to suggest or think. If Mr.. Will
Hson should appoint Catholic Post
master General he will commit an act
that will grieve and disappoint the
most enlightened and devout people
of this nation. He now has the love
and confidence of the people, and
there are hopes for a strong and
manly administration, seasoned with
Christian wisdom, guided and domi-
mated with the principles enunciated
in the word of God.
The Roman Catholic church, one Of
the most potent and selfish political
organizations in this country, domin-
lated by powerful and INSCRIPTIONS
men in the city of Rome, is trying
to dominate the political life Of this
republic. We object. If the Meth
odist, Presbyterian, Baptist or any
other denomination of Christians un-
OSI CCUh Ltj COuII Vi Iilc dO1AinIStt GtlOI
of our civil acairs, we would object.
The American politician who lends
himself to the Pope of Rome, through
his cmissaries at Washington, or for
the votes of the Pope's slaves in this
fcountry, is unfit for the presidency of
this republic and ought to be i'm
peached and put cut Of Office.
: The ignorance, bigotry and
idolatry of Romanism have blighted
every country it has ever dominated;
/ she now proposes to dominate this
country and blight it, and the Pro-
testant politician who lends himself
to her in her nefarious work is
traitor of the deepest dye-a Judas
E1scariOt and Benedict Arnold united
in one. Read the following clipping
/ taken from the New York Christian
Advocate:
~ THE following is taken from one
Of our prominent Roman Catholic eX-
changes: Some of our Catholic con-
temporaries, young ones, are singing
out Of tune. We do not want the
! Bible in the public schools. We do
{ not want prayers in the public
4 schools. We do not want religion of
any kind in the public schools. They
will please bear that in mind, and not
I betray the impregnable Catholic po-
sitiOn. Catholicity is the only form
of religion We can directly or in
directly promote. The frankness of
this editor is something startling"
