The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1916-10-14


SS slept under the soothing as
IL suranccs Of cardinal aud
knights that the hierarchy was not
in politics in tho land OF the PIT.
grim Fathers. Rome has so nearly
stolen their birihright as to foist
practically a straight Roman ticket
upon one Of the great political
parties. Will the patriots Of Mas
sa,huSctts submit TO this outrage? (?
We shall have their answer in
November.
When honest Democrats 20 to the
Massachusetts polls, they will fud
the following Roman Catholic ticket
printed where the Democratic ticket
should be: for governor. I. W.
Mansfield, papist and Knight Of CO.
lumhus; for lieutenant governor, r.
i. Riley, papist; for state treasurer.
II. n. league, papist; for state
auditor, J. b. y. Sullicrc. papist I;
ior attorney general, !. j. Donahuc.
papist; for secretary Of state. l.. II.
Eyges, papist; for L. 5. senator, J.
+. Fitzgerald, papist. Of course
Rome is not in politics!
In ten congressional districts the
fundamental Democrat will find the
names OF such papaI subjects as
Timothy Collins, T.. NJ. Connor,
Michael Scanlon, Michael Phelan,
Peter Tague, Hibernian Hogan,
and Mickey Murphy, TO say nothing
Of the notorious James A. Gallivan,
all masquerading as Democratic
candidates for the national house
OF representatives where they hope
TO serve their blessed pope by the
diversion Of public funds to papal
purposes and the enactment OF anil
american lars.
What a dose the Roman political
machine has here concealed for true
Americans Will the genuine Dem
oorats Of Massachusetts, swallow it
We think not. A good majority Of
Massachusetts voters arc vet free
from allegiance to the papal soycr.

these candidates. Ii will take non.
papist votes TO elect this GALAXY OF
papal satellites: and We have ton
much faith in this free majority to
think that it can be so prostitutcd.
The coming November is the time
OF all times to determine who rules
MassachuSetts-thc people Of that
state, or the pope Of Rome. II will
also afford an excellent opportunity

grown cardinal can dc,oy Massa-
chusetts democracy TO destruction
in the pitfall of papal politics.
This whole aggregation Of hv-
phcnatcs, lined up on the ofIirial
ballot TO Romanize Massachusetts,
state government, are as much alike I.
as the several peas in a green pod. 4
All have kissed the blarney-stonc
and never miss an opportunity to |
perpctratc orations setting forth the |
glories Of Rome and the failure Of [,
American civilization. Gallivan has
distinguished himself already in
congress in 40 varieties Of papist I

fcmcnting war with Mexico and |
Great Britain.
II would indeed be utter folly for
Massachusetts to consider for one
moment giving TO any Of these per-
Sons the positions Of prestige they
seek. Viewed in the light Of the
recent history of papal control in
the Bay state it would seem that no
thoughtful person not interested in
advancing the temporal power Of
the pope could lend support to
these candidates who scek election
on The democratic platform.
