for his private secretary, an avoNed
Catholic. Through his recommen-
dations, all Of which are reported
to be inspired by Boss Connolly,

S. District Atty, Louie McClear,
all loyal devotees of the pope. In
fact all Of Congressman Doremus'
appointments of consequence have
been Roman Catholics. Masons, pa
triots and Protestants have been
given very scant consideration in
the dispensation Of political prefer
ence at the hands Of this Rome
"made" politician.
The civI service commission,
jury commission, political, county
and city committees are and have
been either entirely Catholic or
dominated BY papal power in De-
troit.
Up to the spring Of 1915 the re-
corders court in Detroit had been
for twenty years, Roman Catholic.
Judge Jeffries was elected at that
time by the patriots Of the city to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Judge Phelan, a Catholic. The
court is now composed of Judge
Jeffries and Judge Connolly, one
American and one Irish Catholic.
The patriots are organizing to rid
that court Of Romanism at the next
election in spite Of the power Of
papal priests and followers. How
ever, it is said this will not hit
Judge Connolly direct. Recent is
sues Of the Detroit papers have been
feeling Of the public pulse in an
effort to ascertain the sentiment fol
a proposed new federal court dis,
trict, being talked of, where it is
presumed that Boss Connolly will
be given a life time appointment
as federal judge.
The Vote Swappers League
Perhaps the most astute and foxy
move ever made by Detroit's minia
ture Tammany was the organization
Of what was known as "The Vote
Swappers League" This was an or.
ganization, Catholic at bottom, or
ganized to put into office, friends o.
Rome from either the Republican oi
Democratic parties. 1t would manip
ulate campaigns with Rome's inter
ests ever conserved. Its slate woult
be made up on the basis of whethel
the candidate it was going to sup
| port was Roman or not. If Amer
lean, then the Catholic element from
Archbishop Foley and Boss Con
molly to the little black-robet
bachelor priests in the numerou
churches Of the city would wielt
every influence to consummate hi
defeat. If Catholic, or in som
cases where a Catholic was not
candidate then the most friendl,
Protestant, this same Jesuit infu
ence was exercised in securing tn
election regardless of politics.
It is thought by many tina
this palpably Roman organization
operated successfully for seyera
years, was in reality the beginnin,

OSCAR B. MARX.
Mayor Of Detroit
>..-~s~>~>~~~~s~~eo~~~~~
By Our Special Commissioner.
F1R1ETROIT, MICHIGAN is in
R many respects the most won
I{3Sl derful city in the world. 1t
is more talked about and in
manufacturing outstrips any city in
America. Detroit is now the fifth
city in size in the United States,
having a population estimated at
100000. Several thousand Of these
have been drawn to this Michigan
metropolis within the last few years
through the advertising given it by
the Ford Automobile Works and
other manufacturing industries.
This vast population is very large
Jy made up of foreign-born nation
lalities, immigrated from Poland,
Italy, France, Hungary and other
countries of Europe. The great
mass Of them are Roman Catholic
lin religion and blindly follow the
priests, which numerously infest
Detroit, not only in matters Of re-
ligion, but in politics, personal op-
preston of hereto Protestants and
Fuinous boycotts.
Irish Catholics Lead
While the larger number Of these
| Catholics are French Canadians,
Poles, Italians and Germans, the
Irish Catholics are the leaders in
politics, persecution Of Protestants,
and the efforts to make Detroit A
ROMAN CATHOLIC CITY. 1t
Is the Irish Catholic priests who in
1 spire and mould the policies to be
pursued by the Catholic laymen. It
Il the Irish Catholic politicians who
manipulate and corrupt elections,
put Catholics into Office, secure for
them appointments to police jobs,
teachers positions, postoffice berths
and other places Of power and inAu-
ence.
So well have these clever and un-
sctupulous subjects Of foreign po-
te1tate been able to accomplish their
alfi-American work in Detroit that
they have eighty-Odd per cent Of the
police force, sixty three per cent Of
the public school teachers, the post
office department; and in addition
to|these they have the vast majority
on the minor offices of the city as
}well as some Of the most important
ones. And those offices not filled
BY Roman representatives are large

only two supported Mayor Marx In the
primaries. . The majority of US
would not support him now If his op-
ponent was an honest candidate. But
when we must choose between Mayor
Marx and political crook and papist
bigot We must support Marx.
If Marx is reelected it will be his
third and last term, but if Connolly is
elected the whole machinery Of govern
ment will be turned over to the most
corrupt and dangerous Tammany boss
that a city of this size ever had and it
would take political revolution to put
him and his gang out of office.
Millionaire Police Officer Couzens
Among other significant appoint
ments by Mayor Marx was the sue
cessor to Police Commissioner Gil
ispie, James Couzens. Mr.. Couzens
is a mult-millionaire, made SO by a
small investment in the pioneer days
Of the Ford Automobile Works. 1t
is said that he is not affiliated with
the Catholic church but his wife is,
and she is reported to have con-
tributed $172,000 to the new
BLESSED Sacrament" church being
erected here in Detroit. Mr.. Cou-
zens has charge of the police de-
partment and while probably not
directly involved with the Romish
persecution of Protestant MENACE
sellers and other patriots is at least
more or less responsible for the ac-
tions of his force of eighty per cent
Roman policemen.
That the patriots have learned
their lesson is quite evident. The
last primary and election was a good
schooling and in those to follow
Rome will undoubtedly be given
food for repentent thought. A
house-cleaning is in the air and the
patriots are in fine fettle, longing
for the next battle when popery will
he handed its passport out of poll
tics in this wonderful city.
Boss VIM. F. Connolly
A common and established policy
of Rome is to select a bright and
promising boy or young man in
every community and quietly and
unostentatiously push him to the
front. This protege must be first
of all loyal to the Catholic church.
He must be alert, clever and un-
compromising in his devotion to the
great Roman cause-A CATHOLIC
AMERICA.
VIM. F. Connolly was the FORUM
ate son in Detroit. From an OBJ
scure boy on the streets of the city
he was picked up and in 1895 was
given the position as assistant Sec
retary Of the Democratic State Com
mittee Of Michigan by Dan'l J.
Campau, chairman of that impor-
tant body. Shortly afterward he
was appointed by Mayor VIM. G.
Maybury as secretary Of the police
department. From this position he
began to exercise his influence to
put himself and the Roman Cath
olic church to the front.
Hon. Chas. s. Hampton who at
one time was associated with Con-
molly on the State Democratic Com.
mittee and who was candidate
for the mayoralty nomination last
August, publicly stated that Boss
Connolly was elevated to the i'm.
portant position of associate re-
corder, or circuit judge which he

The Press

Another thing that has functioned
effectively for the papal conspiracy
in Detroit has been a powerful press.
The papers Of the city, where not
owned and controlled by Catholics,
are dominated BY that influence to
such an extent that they are essen
tally Catholic in their general
tendencies. In the last campaign,
for instance, Hon. Chas. s. Hamp-
ton, referred to earlier in this ar
ticle, submitted to the various pa
pers of Detroit, The Journal, Free
Press, News and The Times his po-
litical advertising. In each case,
with the exception Of The Times,
it was returned and publication re-
fused. The Times accepted his ad-
vertising and at that period seemed
to be fair. Since then, however, it
is understood that an Irish Catholic
has been given the editorial man
agement and now shapes the policy
Of the paper in the interest Of Rome.
A large per cent OF the newspaper
men and reporters are Catholics.
They unite in putting and booming
Catholics, especially those who have
been selected by the church to be
placed in positions Of power, as was
Judge Connolly. Let me again
quote from the circular sent out
prior to the general election by the
Loyal and Fraternal League of De-
troit. 1t further said:
No man has received fair treatment
IN Detrolt newspapers 1or the past nve
years either in business or politics un.
less he was either Roman Catholic OIL
one of those Protestants who are always
ready to be used as a Catholic stool
pigeon.
During the recent campaign il
was notorious fact that not a pa.
per in Detroit would take position
against Boss Connolly. While all
did not openly and enthusiastically
endorse him, they were apparently
covertly for ibis election. Is moi
such a condition of affairs well worth
serious thought yes and action--ol

HER LAST PROPHECY
There Will Be No Germany "

Madame de Thebes, the cele- brated French clairvovant. has just died in her 72nd year. Among oth- CT things, she phrophesied that the year Io16 would be a hay year. " meaning that thing decisive would happen, and that the Emperor of Austria would die.
 Interviewed by a representative of the Petit Parisien' shortly be. fore her death, she was asked when the war would end? She replied:
 Unless the enemy Powers col lapse suddenly through econoinic strain, famine. and misery, the wal should end in the last days of the spring or the beg inning of the sum- mer of 1917. The victor will be the Entente-that is certain. The end will mark the triumph of ilstice and right. The victory ot the Allies will be almost complete. l mean by that that it will be slightly different from the kind of victory reckoned upon to-day, but it will remain solid and definite, and will ensure the happiness and llber- ties of the peoples. There WlIl be no Germany, as such, but instead number of little Germanies. The Hohenzollerns will disappear. The sinister bandit chief will have van ished or, in the hour of defeat will be lying unconscious. His days are numbered, and, he knows 1t. His family will be destroyed, and the high Prussian caste will perish by sQicide, assassination and ruin, as a result ct its unsuitable appetite tor crime - Glasgow Weekly Herald.
