gates and other leading Protestants
and fundamental democrats, inaug-
urated q counter-campaign and did
magnificent work during the last
hours of the struggle.
The Coup That Failed
The great Catholic drive in which
upward of one hundred and fifty
monster meetings were planned by
the Catholic Federation of the arch
diocese of Boston and which were
addressed by an army Of Romanist
spell-binders, headed by Cardinal
0'Connell was intended to be q mas
ter political coup which was to be
sprung to late for successful opposi-
ton and by 1t the Roman hierarchy
counted on winning a most impor-
tant victory. This drive was charac-
terized by all the intemperant viru-
lence, reckless use Of epithets, and
utterly misleading statements. which
are SO characteristic of the Roman
hierarchy when seriously menaced or
when her deep-laid plans are being
thwarted. Suddenly the mouthpieces
of the Roman hierarchy discovered
thst this amendment which had been
supported by ninety percent of the
Roman Catholic members of the Con-
stitutional Convention was "an in
suit to every Catholic in the state
it was also discovered to be ian Anti
God amendment" and many similar
false and misleading statements
were substituted for sane and ra
tional objections.
Never in the history Of the stat
had political Romanism played 81
bold and prominent a part in poll
tics. The cardinal speaking with tn
authority of the papal head Of tn
hierarchy in New England sweeping

as incorporate and frenzied as the,

OF FUNDANE
NATIONWIDE VICTORY FOR PATRIOTIC FORCES


organ, The Pilot, from week to week
became more and more frantic. The
last issue before election fairly
shrieked in expressing the fury Of
those who feared the vindication Of
democracy in this clear-cut battle
against the arrogant assumptions OF
the autocratic papal sovereignty.
Here epithets of abuse took the place
Of rational or sane arguments.
The false pretense that the amend
ment was an insult to every Catholic
in the state" was an impugning Of the
motives not only of the non-Catholics
who supported the amendment. which
was to be expected, but it likewise
cast aspersions of no uncertain char
acter on those liberal Roman Cath
olics who had conscientiously voted
for the amendment in convention be-
cause they were sincere in wishing
to keep religion out Of politics, their
own, or any other.
Stung by the rebuke Of the car
dinal and his lieutenants, those Ro-
man Catholics who had supported the
amendment stood houlder to shoul
der with its non-Catholic supporter:
and through Mr.. Garland, q pro
amendment Roman Catholic, ISSUED
one Of the clearest statements OF tn
issue that appeared during the cam
paign. This statement made 1t per
fectly clear that the cardinal hat
gone several steps too far.
The committee which, in convention
had worked on the amendment be
fore presenting 1t to the main body
had even gone to the trouble an,
taken the precaution to consult lead
ing men of all faiths, including prom
inent executive officials Of prominen

state had made much Of the fact that
all parties favored it the common
wealth was startled by Cardinal
O'Connell's organ, The Pilot, coming
out in a furious attack on the amend
ment which occupied one-half the
editorial page.
This attack was instantly utilized
by the forces long accustomed to
manipulate the publicity campaigns
Of political Romanism by being
largely reproduced in the daily
press. 1t was followed by widely re-
ported addresses, by prominent Cath
olics, of like tenor, each attacking the
proposed amendment by assailing
the fundamental democrats who IA
vored the same.
1t now became evident even to the
most confding and simple-minded
Protestant that the Roman Catholics
proposed by the above methods to Sc
cure statewide publicity campaign
against the amendment while the up
holders Of our liberal democracy re-
mained silent.
The Menace and the League
Prior to this however, the Free
Press Defense League and THE
MENACE refusing to remain silent
when so vital and fundamental an
issue was at stake sounded the alarm
and aroused the electorate. The cir
culation of THE MENACE in Massa-
chusetts alone is larger than that OF
many dai.ies in the state and as soon
as the real facts had been set forth
in THE MENACE an army Of aroused
patriots began a systematic publicity
campaign. The headquarters Of the
League in Boston, Room 303 fremont
Temple, became the center Of one ot
the most vital political educational
movements of years. Slips present
ing the vital facts and embodying tht
provisions Of the amendment were
circulated by the hundreds of thou
sands.
