Ugly Factors in Campaign

WHETHER on Tuesday Woodrow Wilson
w is reelected or defeated. whether he
receives or is denied that vote OF confidence
to which unsulled motive, high purpose and
distinguished ability give him SO far title,
will be due to the failure or SUCCESS OF ono
OF the most dastartlly political campaigns
ever conducted In this country. The Repub.
lican managers of this contest have baked at
nothing. When they made Anything to
beat Wiison!" their battle cry, they meant
what they said.
For these men and Tor those they make
their dupes will come day Of reckoning.
They have injected into this campaign every
issue which ought to be ellen TO American
politics. They have put an actual premium
on disloyalty. They have truckled TO ele-
ments OF the population which place for
eign land and its interests above America and
American interests. They have arrayed re-
lision against religion, race against race.
section against section. class against class
They have sought to use the great Catholic
Church as an instrument to realize their
ignoble ambitions. They have sought to en-
list its bishops and priests In their base on
terprise They have sought to appeal by
untruthful statement and specious argument,
to the passions Of its laity. They have In
cited religious prejudice. raising that spocter
from It's nearly forgotten grave
Religious intolerance is hfdeous wherever
1t appears. 1t is repugnapt to American
tradition and to the genius OF this people 1t
is contemplate when 1t Is the product OF re-
ligtous bigotry or fanaticism and when those
who manifest II, however cruelty, are at least
honest and sincere. But when II Is evoked
IN response to political necessity. to an
swer political purpose and crafty a politi-
cal enmity, 1t becomes treason--qute as much
treason as that other effort to translate af-
lection for the Fatherland into disaffection
toward America.
The worst thing that could happen to the
victims Of this confidence game would be the
election OF Hughes. Success for the enter
prise in which they have been induced TO bear
part would hurt them Infinitely more than
failure. 1t cannot safely be assumed-we
say 1t frankly and In all candor-that the
American people will look on In Indifference
while religious denomination, or any con-
siderable part OF It, is used to advance
political candidacy. Those who are respou-
sible for the present attempt aud those who
yield to the current seductiols are playing
with fire. Once before and decisively this
nation rebuked Know Nottingham" It has
the same rebuke ready for any other re-
ligonist in politics. no matter what his cult
may be.
The Times Dispatch does not believe
American Catholics. however indiscreet some
of their number may have been, will be
caught IN this net. They have too much
vision. too much patriotism, too much sense
They will not permit foreign issues to sway
