Catholics After Iouo Senatorship

with controlling the most important
federal appointments; Catholic politi.
clans who masquerade as Democrats are
very strenuously pushing Maurice Con.

nomination for U. s. Senator against +.

Two years ago he was elected 10 Con.
gross from the Dubuque district by the
usual combination Of the Republican and
Democratic members Of his church; he
has done such remarkably good work in
getting plums for his religious bretheren
that they are anxious TO promote him.
Murtagh Of Waterloo, another prominent
Catholic, has been selected by tho Holy
brothers to take Connolly's place in Con
gress.
The Catholic political syndicate which
~ kuOWn - hue AoHA AhulnAulf uoN
controls all but one or two Of the Demo
cratic State Committee and they think
Il they can nominate Mr.. Connolly /,

mittee which win be chosen this year.
Democrats should see to Il that Catho.
lies do not pack the County Conventions
and do not select the delegates 20 the
State Convention who elect the STATE
Committeeman.
The Catholic State Committee has tried

lies and partly Of their political partners

said: 1--WE do not toast God, We wor.

thinking, for religious intolerance. Cath.

but in any gathering of citizens where
toasts are made there is only one place

take precedence. The mayor is right. He
would be ignoring the proprieties Of his
position and insulting every citizen of

The Tribune discussed the question
with a prominent Roman Catholic, who
asked that his name be withheld for the

thought both the Lieutenant. Governor
and Mayor Deacon were right in their
decision not to attend. Both gentlemen
occupied representative positions and
