For the purpose of seeing that the Catholic church and her followers are allowed the same freedom and l- berty to worship as they please un- der our constitution and laws and for the further purpose of meeting such measure as were introduced in the last legislature as tn ebill that emi- mated from representative who rep resented the county that is the home of a paper inimical to the interest of the state and her citizenship because of it's partisanship in discussing matters religious, the state council through presiding officer appointed a commit tee known as the Publicity and Leg islative Committee composed of the following members of the Knights of Columbus: Col. w.
