BRAYING PAPlSTS FOR CONGRESS
Rome, Rum and Doodle In the Foregroul

HD JUN, Romanism and Anarchy compose the
NV platform whereon James T. Thierry is
Ih running for congress in the twentieth Ohio
N- district. lie has served formal notice on
other candidates on his ticket that he will de-
feat them unless they forthwith espouse his pro-
gram of booze, popery and destruction Of the
Federal Constitution.
John F. Farrelly, Roman bishop Of Cleve-
land, must have slept at his post. Where was he
when this bowling dervish was permitted to shout
from the housetops the vicious and besotted poll
tics with which Romanism is saturated, but which
the priests and politicians Of popery are so care
fully trained to conceal and deny2 Thierry has
given the public Whit Of the terrible stencil Of
vatican politics.
His electioneerng card reads as follows: ss-e
"Vote for James Francis Thierry,
"Anti-Prohibition, Ant-Woman Suffrage and
Anti-Civil Service"
On the back of the card is the following:
"MY CONGRESSIONAL PLATFORM
1st--I am for High Protective Tariff.
"2nd-I am for James r. Mann of Illinois for
Speaker of the House.
"3rd--I will introduce bill to repeal the Webb
Kenyon Anti-Liquor Shipment Law, another one
to make the District of Columbia wet again.
4th-I will introduce bill making it illegal for
women to vote for any Office whatever in the U. S.
despite the suffragette victories in some states
"5th-I will introduce bill to rip the U, s.
Civil Service Commission out of existence, and to
automatically abolish every state civil service COM
mission in every state, and every municipal service
commission in every city.
"6th-I will introduce Force Bill, to cut down
Z the representation in congress of those Southern
Democratic states that evade the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution in denying negroes the
z right to vote.
3 "7th-I will introduce resolution demanding
that the president repudate his official recognition
of that foul beast Carranza #4
B "Sth-I will introduce a bill to abolish the ne
cessity of extradition when criminal fees from
one state into another.
"9th--I will oppose government ownership in
any and every form.
8 "10th-I will introduce a bill to establish ma
x tiona 'holidays, mandatory in every state with
B fine for any employer who docks his employees
wages for not working upon any of the holidays.
'P. 81 am Republican"
Even the merest tyro in constitutional law
3 would laugh out loud at the unconstitutional
3 fanaticisms this raging papal ignoramus would
3 introduce in congress. No sane American cih
zen would favor abolishing the civil service regu
3 lstions in order to let hungry and incompetent
y Roman Catholics have all the public Offices. But
x how could be, by an act Of congress, abolish tht
2 civil service law Of states and cities in order tc
3 feed their revenues to papal wolves? The led
3 era Constitution expressly declares that all pow
& ers not therein granted to the federal govern
Z ment are reserved to the states, and no power i
= given to invade the purely domestic affairs o
X states and cities.
X How could this blatant Roman Catholic null
& fly by federal legislation the civil right Of vomel
3 to vote for state and local officers in the state
3 that now have woman suffrage? How could h
3 nullify their right to vote for any officers r. th
e near future they will vote in Ohio and thei The
= will teach such political desperadoes as Their
Is to keep out Of politics.
u Under our Constitution, the power to resog
X nze foreign governments is vested exclusivsls i
q the president Of the United States. Thinb 0
