Champ Clark had grown into the majority
candidate, and held that rank, day after day.
by all the rules OF party precedent and COM
mon sense and simple justice, he was them
entitled to the Underwood vote.
Underwood'S stolid refusal to release his
delegates, after all hope of his own nomina-
ton was gone, created bad impression. and
1t defeated the aoiU Of the people.
AS to my voting for Roosevelt. I don't give
tinker's dam whether Aurelius likes it or
not. This is a free country, and I am one Of
the which.
Woodrow Wilson had got the nomination
unfairly: he was the Wall Street candidate :
Bryan had slammed an attack on Parker and
Thomas t. Ryan as a preparation for his
lying assault on his own candidate, Champ
Clark-for whom he was an instructed dele
gate
Then Wilson had lied about wearing the
Knights Of Columbus badge. and about the
dismissal Of the Jesuit papal spy, Tulnuty.
In contrast with this, Roosevelt had defed
the Italian Pope, In Rome itself, asserting his
American manhood, and Indignantly refusing
to promise the Pope that he would not visit
the Methodists in Rome after having been
received by the Papa.

But the Lewis Nixon Shipbuiding Trust,

In other words, these Unsuitable Wall Street

Was This ROEmamfSt Editor a
DeSerteP From tzle
Union ArKnRy?

IA Army Vet informs me that Pat Ford,
once the Editor of The Irish World, was
deserter from the Union Army.
Well, | declare!
What? Hasn't The Irish World been one
of the popish papers that has been claiming
that the Catholics made the Equator, the
Tropic of Capricorn, the North and South
System, the Zodiac and the Gulf stream?
Hasn't The Irish World been running with
the papal pack, helping the hie-on, contribute
ing to the gladstone noise, and contending that
if it had not been for the Catholics, Patrick
Henrys tongue Thomas Jetfersons pen, and
George Washington's sword never could have
won Our Independence?
Didn't old MIR. Charles Carroll of Carroll
ton, brother Of other CAROLS, son OF some
others, father and grandfather Of others, tote
the brains Of the rebellious Colonies?
Didn't Captain Jack Barry annihilate
Great Britain's Navy?
Didn't the Cathoic soldiers Of the Colo
NAL armies do pretty much all the fighting?
Ho0ts! Toots. We gained our Independ-
epce, our free institutions. our civil and reli-
gious liberty, because the Roman Catholic
church is 50 historically and yehemently in
favor Of open Bibles, unbridled democracies,
unshackled self-g0yernment. unlimited free
thought, free talk, free pens, free worship,
free schools, free marriages, and any other
sort Of freedom that the people want.
Not only was the Pope the Star Of Empire
that Westward took its way, to plant public
schools and Protestant churches and Nor
monism, and Christian Science. and Holy
Rollers; but the Catholics won all the victo-
ries on both Sides during the Civil War.
Wasn't Phil Sheridan ON one side? Wasn't
Pat Cleburne on the ether?
Wasn't Thomas Nfe9ohar dauntlpSS Union
soldier? Wasn't Phil kearney another? And
didn't General lee have some officers who
were Catholics?
To be sure the Pope was right there on
both Sides shedding his precious blood on
both sides. by deputy, yicariously.
So, you see, they've got us up tree.
Even the tree wouldn't have been accessible
to us. if it hadn't been for Papa. for it was
Catholic who discovered where the trees
grow.
The sap of Eee2ythiag rises from Papa'5
church; and when we think we have inherited
something in the way Of Liberty's heirloom,
rest assured that it is one of the family jew
els OF Papa
But in the midst of this harmonious agree
ment as to the Truth of History comes a
dscordant note.
Pat Ford, one Of the Editors who told us
all these things, ''enlsted in the Union Army
in 1862, deserted early IN 1868. went to Can

and then went South
If he had then gone North, there might

Readers of this paper know that the Under

OF my personal and political friends. That
work did not cost Mr.. Underwood cent. so

Thomas T. Ryan financed Underwood but
the knowledge of that fact reached us after
the Baltimore Convention had completed its
work.

Mr.. Watson was elected to Congress in 1890 as
a Farmers Alliance man. He refused to enter
the Democratic Congressional caucus. He was

enter the caucus was, that I did not want my
hands tied by Northern and Eastern Demo-

When LaFollette refused, under similar cir

he was praised to the skies by the same Demo

that SeWal of Maine should be retired

Then these Democratic diplomats Bryan,

that escaped the others notice-a
light that would have puzzled her not
a little.

she cried vehemently. Il have right

Il am not asking you to defend your
self said Mrs. Wrandall shortly.
Then, as if afraid to remain longer,
she rushed from the room In the
doorway. she turned for an instant to
say: DO as ! told you. Telephone.
Dress as quickly as you can" She
closed the door swiftly
Standing in the center of the room,
her hands clenched until the nails cut

A few minutes later she was critical

came from the bedroom attired in a
street dress that neither of them had
ever donned before. The girl, looking
fresher, prettier and even younger
than when she had seen her last, was
in no way abashed. She seemed to
have accepted the garments and the
situation in the same spirit of resigna-
ton and hope; as if she had decided
to make the most Of her slim chance
to profit by these amazing circum-
stances.
