"ANn-CATHOLIC BIGOTRY EXPOSED"

Minnesota Invaded by Rome Under eaIans Frank Privilege
Further Abused BY Insertion Of Circular Letter Which

Romes Prince Of Politicians from Public Life

assert that TIE Roman Catholic
church Is not in politics. Other
prominent papish continue 10 pro-
mote political activities for and in
behalf Of the Roman Catholic
church.
A particularly prominent and
perniciously active papist is one
james A. Gallivan, representative
In congress from Massachusetts,.
We have mentioned him 80 often
that we are weary Of seeing HE
name in these columns, but his ac-
tivities are 20 continuous and co.
studiedly pro-papal that we cannot
keep silence with a clear conscience.
His un-American Vaccinations are
% frequent and his abuse Of priv
ilege 50 hagrant and dangerous as
TO mark him as an enemy that must
be met and removed from contact
with public affairs.
As 10 the political ne, the
papists are artful dodsers. When
the committee on post Offices and
post roads held It's hearing on the
Fitzgerald and Gallivan bills, II. r.
2O6l5 and H. r. ells3, which were
designed 10 exclude certain publi-
cations" from the mails, both
Fitzgerald and Gallavin tried TO
make IL appear that they were act
ing on their own initiative in max
ing an assault upon the freedom Of
the press.
While Gallivan had the floor for
the purpose OF making a statement
in favor of Fitzgerald's notorious
press muzzling attempt he stated TO
the committee that "0f course, /
am here in support Of the Fitzger-
aid bill as well as in support Of my
own," and referring to his own pro-
posed constitutional amendment,
II. r. 211s3, which was equally as
pernicious as II. R. 20646, he said,
81 am not 4 lawyer, and ! have in
troduced these bills on nv own
initiative" The statement was re-
peated q little further along.
Gallivan apparently made that
statement with intent 10 deceive.
Such action on the part Of repre-
sentatives Of the Roman Catholic
church in congress had been con-
templated, and carefully provided
for by Catholic organizations which
are within the church, or are at
least composed Of members Of the
church and have the appreciation Of
the church.
Gallivan knew this when he made
that statement to the committee, or
was in a position to know il, and
no one can doubt that he went into
that session Of congress with the
intention Of making an assault up
on the freedom Of the press.
No one can doubt that he went
there WITH INSTRUCTIONS
FROM HIS CHURCH to do as
as he did.
In support OF these radical asser-
tions we submit the following, tax
en- from the American Federation
Of Catholic Societies, an official
Catholic organ published al Gin
cinnati, Ohio, and st. Louis, No.,
bearing date January and Feb
ruary, 1919:
Complaint was made Of the cir
culation in this city (St Louis)
and surroundings Of anti-Catholic
and Objectionable papers and books,
among others the abominable, filthy
sheet called MENACE published by
q so-called Rev. T. G. Walker, Of
Aurora, No. The chairman Of the
committee on public morals re-
ported that the national law COM
mittee Of the American Federation
Of Catholic Societies has in prepar-
alton a bill which will be introduced
in congress forbidding such vile
publications from circulating
through the mails. II the bill
passes, it will put an end TO all
publications which outrage the reli-
gious convictions Of our fellow
citizens and publish scurrilous and
slanderous attacks upon faith"
And there you have it. Anyone
who is able to put two and two to-
gether and make four should be
able to understand that this is suf-
6cient evidence that ROME is IN
POLITICS, has been in politics,
and will be in politics UNTIL
THE REAL AMERICANS
SHAKE OFF THEIR INDIF-
FERENCE AND USE THEIR
BALLOTS AND BRAINS TO
PRESERVE THE FREEDOM
ROME SEEKS TO DESTROY.
Neither Gallivan nor Fitzgerald
<<cted entirely on their own initia-
