SO .onrag0Q the American voters That
they would have elected Eugene Debs
over him had there been no other
candidate running against him last
November.
The American people will not toll
crate a president who has a Roman
Catholic secretary and Roman Cath
OlicS in his cabinet to communicate
the secrets of this government to the
Pope of Rome, thereby enabling the
Roman Catholic hierarchy to succeed
in the plans on foot to destroy liberty
in this Republic.
The Roman Catholic church seeks
to destroy our free school system, to
prohibit Professionalism, and to make
it crime for one to be a member
of the Freemasons, Knights of Ply
thias, Odd Fellows, Junior Order of
American Mechanics, Guardians of
Liberty, etc., and the only way to de-
feat that plan is by putting none but
true Americans on guaru in our pub
lie offices. No true American can be
Roman Catholic, because Roman
Catholics owe allegiance to the Pope
OF Rome, a foreign pOtentate,. and
are sworn to stand for him first. last
and all the time against all govern
ments and all laws but lis. General
George Washington had Roman Cath
olics in mind when he gave that his
toric command, "See that none but
Americans are on guard tonight
The ruling principle of the Roman
Catholic church is that the church
shall rule the State, and the Roman
hierarchy is plotting to bring about
that deplOrable condition in this fair
land of ours. Realizing that the Ro-
man Catholic church will be booted
out Of Austria, Ireland, Italy and
Spain, as it was booted out of Eng
land, France, and Portugal, in the
very near future, Rome is planning to
set up the Pope and his rule at Brook
land, d. c., suburb of the Capital
City of this nation, where elaborate
preparations are being made for him
and his cruel government, and to aid
IN the scheme, Rome is seeking to
gain control of the Democratic party,
now that the Republican party is
dead, that the church may be in con-
troll OF affairs over here when the
storm breaks across the sea. AS proof
OF this, we see Roman Catholics, like
Congressman Ben Johnson, of Ken
lucky, aspiring to chairmanships of
our party committees.
Now, Senator, if President Wilson
is to succeed in the White House; if
the Democratic party is to live; if lib
erty is to be kept alive in this Re-
public; if our free school system is
to survive; if Professionalism is to hold
sway here; if Freemasons, knights
of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Junior Or
der Americ naMechanics, Guardians
of Liberty are to be permitted to as
semble in their lodge rooms free
from interference and death, and if
we are to continue to have a govern
ment separate and apart from the
Roman Catholic church, then, in the
language of our illustrious first presi-
dent, General George Washington,
"See that none but Americans are on
guard" Certainly we cannot expect
to enjoy these blessings with Roman
Catholics, especially those who be-
long to the Knights of Columbus,
who take the traitorous oath they are
alleged to take, and which they have
not dared to deny, a copy of which
| attach herewith, on guard in the
councils of the Nation
With expressions of high esteem,
/ am, Sincerely yours,
JAMES S. MCCARTHY.
