 GO TO MEETING
New York World Publishes Letter to Clergymen From
 "Pea6e Conference"
WANTS CLERGY TO
 GO TO MILWAUKEE
Promoters of Hyphenated X Propaganda Adopt New
 Campaign for Hughes

New York. Oct. 24-The New York World today prints a letter addressed by the American Peace Conference to the Catholic clergy, asking them to come to Milwaukee, and offering to pay their expenses for the trip, to attend a meeting in aid of Hughes. The World says:
 a Chicago, Oct. 23-The promoters of the German-American propaganda which has endeavored to incite hos tility to President Wilson by many have called a meeting of Catholic\ priests in the Republican House in Milwaukee for Wednesday next.
 This propaganda, which has oper- ated under many names and aliases, is now known as the American In- dependence Conference. It has been known previously as the American Peace Conference" and the "Amer- ican Embargo Conference" and has engineered several ventures of the so- called neutrality sort.
 It was the American Independence Conference which, as told in The World today on the authority of the Democratic National Committee, sent a colnnittee to "demanA" from Charles E. Hughes an explanation of his approval of Col. Roosevelt's Lew iston speech. On this committee were Jeremiah A. O'Leary, Carl E.. Schmidt and Win R. Mcdonald
 Macdonald. as Secretary of the National Campaign Committee of the American Independence Conference, signs the letter inviting the Cath olic priests of Wisconsin to the meet ing, the main object of which. he states, 'is to remove any doubt that may exist as to whether all real Americans should vote for Charles E. 
 Macdonald Signs Gall
 The invjtation to the gathering, which was on the letterhead of the Independence Conference from its offices in rooms 903-8, No. 139 North Clark street, this city, aroused the resentment of one clerical recipient. who is indignant at what he terms a palpable attempt to in- volve the church and it's priests in politics.. This is the letter:
 Dear Reverend Father: Be-
 cause of the importance of the
 1IcSluonlldl CdIupdlSu, we ldko . the liberty of asking whetherEo
 will be good enough to acceDf this
 invitation to come to Milwaukee,
 Wednesday, Oct. 25, to attend . I've are aware that your duties make it difficult for youSto make such a trip, and were it not for the ex- treme importance of this matter we would not ask you to come.
 "The American Independence Con- ference feels that you should know the real situation and since it believes that this is serious you are urged to make the sacrifice and come. Should you be prevented from coming. please send some. man in your place. The ex- pense of the trip will be paid, for we believe that the sacrifice of your time is all we can ask.
 "The main object of this meeting is to remove any doubt that may exist as to whether all real Americans should vote for Charles E.. Hughes.
 "Very sincerely,
 TWILL R. MACDONALD"
