Why?
Because the Democrat who sits in
the White House so far forgot his
Americanism as TO appoint as his pri-
vate secretary a Roman Catholic
Knight Of Columbus. Joseph Patrick
Tumulty, a ward politician, Of Jersey
City. New Jersey, who never attended
free public school in his life. who
believes that the Italian Pope Of the
Roman Catholic church is king OF all
mankind, temporal and spiritual, and
that all men and women not married
in a Roman Catholic church. by
Roman Catholic priest, according TO
the rites OF the Roman Catholic
church, are living in adultery and that
their children are bastards.
/ am not proud that the supreme
court OF the United States Is presided
over by a Democrat. born in the South,
and appointed as a sop TO the Church
Of Rome, because that Democrat is
Roman Catholic, of the Jesuit Order,
and subscribes to the doctrines OF
that church, which teaches that Il is
the Heaven-born right OF the Italian
Pope of the Roman Catholic church
TO rule all mankind, and that men
and women not joined together in we'd
lock by a Roman Catholic priest, In a
Roman Catholic church, according TO
the rites Of that church. ,sare living In
adultery and that their children are
bastards.
am not proud that my party con-
trolls congress, because the Democrats
in that branch Of the government have
done nothing to stay the tide Of Ro-
man Catholicism in American politics.
am not proud that my party is in
power, because Woodrow Wilson. the
Democratic president, though a Pres
byterian, has filled practically every
postoffice at his DISPOSAL with a Roman
Catholic.
am not proud that The Senate Of
the United States Is controlled by the
Democrats, because Democratic sena-
tors have voted, without hesitation, to
confirm all the Roman Catholic ap-
pointees Of President Woodrow Wilson.
am not proud that my party is in
power in Washington, because Wood
row Wilson, the Democratic President,
permits Joseph z. Ralph, a Reman
Catholic Knight of Columbus Repubh

Odd Fellows are being dismissed from

man Catholics.
