Bitter Religious Fight Predicted

Special to the Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 7.-Roman- ism and anti-Romanism is sure to be a subject which will bring forth a most bitter fight in the next legislature, and which will no doubt consume much of the 60 day session. Circular letters have already been sent to mem- bers of the legislature, asking how they stand on the subject. Literature attacking members of the Catholic church in Arkansas who hold office or positions of trust, accompanies the letters to the legislators.
 In various counties of the state the question is now a burn ing one, and in Polk county an effort is being made to defeat Democratic nominees, not be- cause they are members of the Catholic church, but because they have not condemned those who are. A strong fight is being made on the county school su- perintendent because he accept ed an invitation to address the audience which gathered to as- sist in dedicating a handsome new Catholic school building at Mena.
 There were several bills in the last legislature for the inspec- tion of schools and hospitals, which were aimed at Catholic institutions, but they were de- feated. Several to replace these, and backed by stronger follow ing, are now being prepared for presentation to the next Assem- bly,. The fight is sure to be a bitter one, if the feeling that has already been developed may be counted for anything.
