iift! the curtain and shows EXACTLY
HOW ROME HAS GAINED A STRAIN
GLEHOLD ON ONE OF OUR GREAT
MUNICIPALITIES. What is true Of De-
troit Is true, with slight variations, Of
practically every great Protestant city TN
the land.
Here is found the papal boss in con-
troll OF the party machine. naming NOM
mai Protestantu for Important Offices with
large hppointivs powers-men who will be
loyal to him and thus through him will
become most USEFUL HANDYMEN FOR
THE ROMAN HIERARCHY. In this
manner the Roman boss becomes more
useful to political Romanism than he
could be II he were AT ONCE CON-
GRESHAM in WASHINGTON AND
MAYOR IN DETROIT. Az result we
see vast proportion Of Offices Of great
strategic power as well % great. major
ity Of minor Offices given to subjects Of
the pope. Think Of II populous Protes-
tant city like Detroit giving OVER 60
PER CENT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
POSITIONS TO "CHILDREN OF THE
ROMAN ROMAN, CHURCH" WHILE THAT
HEIsREp SHusGR Is rFRMs GSMpSMNNG TMSs sAME M p{s TS
Lie SCHOOL SYSTEM, AND WHILE IT
IS ESTABLISHING AND PUSHING
RIVAL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
IN DETROIT. THINK OF THAT GREAT
PROTESTANT CITY FILLING 80 PER
CENT OF THE POLICE POSITIONS
WITH FAITHFUL SUBJECTS OF A
FOREIGN SOVEREIGNTY.
With the boss In control Of the political
situation ROME IS IN THE SADDLE,
and when the machine, as Ia usually the
case. IL In league with the liquor inter-
ests and the underworld. II has behind Il
the mighty trinity. Of the pit-the three
most potent foes Of liberal democracy and
clean non-partisan. nSn-seetarian munich
pal rule. These powerful. subverslve
forces have become thf most sinister mem
ace 10 our free installations and liberal
democracy In the laid BECAUSE THE
PATRIOTIC FORCES OF CIVIC RIGHT
E0USNEsS HAVE BEEN UNORGAN-
lied AND UNAWAKENED TO THE
DEADLY PERIL that NOW FACES
THIS REPUBLIC.
Sometimes when esA conditions become
90 rank that there Is q threatened uprising,
the boss, for prudential reasons, becomes
temporarily a parag4n Of verbal right
eousness. parroting popular ethical slogans
with amazing facility much to the amuse-
ment Of his strongest supporters In the
underworld who are. by no means de-
ceiyed by his high sounding professions
and promises.
For over twenty-five years, Rome has
been industrioUsly administering soothing
syrup to Protestant America while ng-
Tressively undertaking. the fundamental
| principles Of our free government, and
gaining control over the miEhtiest bull
warks Of liberal democracy.

An Awakened Detroit

A patriotic wave moved the peo-
pie Of the city and they were up in
arms at the last election against the
further control by the Roman hier-
archy Of their fair American city.
They struck with deadly effect
against the Roman invasion. They
struck without mercy and inflicted
a mortal wound on the enemy Of
American liberties in Detroit. They
laid low many candidates who
would have otherwise been victori-
ous. They would have made clean
sweep in all of the offices to be filled
OF that election had they but started
in time. 1t was, however, the be-
ginning of what is generally be-
Geved to be the end.
The election Of Marx over Con-
molly was the first real setback De-.
troit's Tammany ever experienced.
Next spring, in the school board and
judicial election, the patriots fully
expect to put Connolly and every
.
un-American Roman, or those even,
tinctured with or catering to Rome,
so completely out Of politics that in
the future no man with the label Of
the pope on or about him need ever
expect to gain an Office within the
gift Of the Protestants of Detroit.
This policy of eliminating every
Catholic from the politics of De-
troit may seem harsh and undemo-
cratic to the thoughtless American
who has never experienced the
jesuit actively engaged IN politics.
But it is the only safeguard against
complete Roman domination and
sooner or later will have to be fol-
lowed in every city and state in the
nation. Otherwise, as surely as the
sun shines and the rain falls the
government Of our free native soil
will in time be under the complete
domination of the Roman pontif
with all that that means; supersti-
tion, bigoted ignorance, religious
intolerance and Protestant persecu-
tion.

"Made" Congressman Doremus

1t was Boss Connolly who is said
to have made" Congressman Frank
E. Doremus, who by the way is not
a Catholic and was initiated as a
Knights Templar Mason just pre-
ceding the recent election. But il
there ever was such a thing as a
protestant Catholic" the official
acts Of Hon. Frank Doremus would
certainly indicate that he is that
kind. Congressman Doremus il
also chairman Of. the Democratic
National Congressional Committee

awakened. They discovered that
although the Catholics were in d
minority, probably hdving not moro
than ONE THIRD OF THE Pop
ULA7TON, yet they controlled the
city and county governments, the
judiciary, schools and all other de-
partments of administration. Their
operations were becoming bolder
and bolder in politics, business and
all other walks of Detroit life.
Earnest patriots were appalled, at
some of the local revelations which,
were brought out against some Of,
the presumably most sacred Of the
Catholic institutions and the opera
tions in the schools and public in
stitutions, of Jesuits, priests and
politicians.

Romanizing Detroit

Cunningly and adroitly Rome has
for years been securing a tighter
and tighter hold on the throat of
Detroit. With characteristic chica-
merry and Jesuitical generalship the
better element of citizens-Protes-
tants-have been chloroformed into
a stupid ignorance Of what was
transpiring under their very noses.
Then suddenly through the activity
Of THE MENACE and some fearless
local patriots, the people were

Boss in the recent election was his
eleventh hour appeal to law and
order and a clean Detroit. Think
of this man who during his whole
political and public life has openly
catered to the slum and underworld
element for his strength, Gas is the
tendency Of Jesuit politioians), to
come out at the last minute in the
campaign in a frenzied effort to
save himself by appealing to de-
cency in municipal affairs. 1t
brought a smile to the denizens Of
the red-ight, saloon and gambling
districts and a blush of shame to the
respectable and Christian element
Of the city.
This grand stand play weakened
Connolly rather than strengthened
him. 1t was common knowledge
that he had always derived his
strength from Billie Boushaw's no
torious first precinct Of the first
ward, as well as from all other Of
the vicious and outlaw precincts in
the city, made up Of wharf rats,
booze soaks, repeaters and other
skum, Roman by a vast majority
and entirely subservient to that rul-
ership.
