The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1918-08-03

votes this year and the Legislature neNC Wlnler
will ratify the Prohibition amendment to the
National Constitution.
How could this ridiculous babbler, by legis-
lation in congress, interfere with the Consttu-
tional right Of the states to bring fleeing Grim
inals to Justice by the process Of extradition now
in use among all the states and among virtually
all the civilized nations of the earth?
Under date of June II, Thierry sent letter
to candidates on his ticket for the state legisa-
ture, which contained the following words
"If you have enough wisdom apd courage to
come out squarey for the vets, and for Edwin
Jones for governor, will advertise your candidacy
without cost to you, along with my own congress
sional candidacy, III each one OF my ensuing adj
vertsements that make in the campaign. But
If YOU declare yourself dry, or refuse to- commit
yourself one way or the other, or neglect to an
swer this letter, will class you as dry, and will
do all 1 can to nominate the vets.
"Frankly, I AM FRAMING AN EDWIN
JONES WET SLATE FOR THE LEGISLATURE
IN THIS COUNTY, and your chances for nomi-
nation and election are mighty slim if you don't
qualify for place on il"
Roman Catholic Thierry thus frankly admits
that he is the candidate of the lawess liquor in
terests and he virtually charges that those inter
ests through his efforts are financing and push
ing ticket for governor of Ohio and for the
state legislature. With whose money does he pro-
pose to pay for advertising in the daily press all
legislative candidates that will commit themselves
to booze and to Jones for governor? Who uni
formerly pays the bills in such political crooked
ness? Why does this Roman Catholic. offer the
lbertl use of money to group booze legislative
ticket around the name of Jones for governor?
The righteous citizenship Of Ohio can be de-
pended on to smash this whole combination of
rum, Romansm and paid-up newspaper advertis-
ing Where are the schools and churches and
homes of the grand, imperial commonwealth of
Ohio? What will the million voters of the state
say to this vile tissue Of impudence and corrup-
ton? They will rise in the might Of their Amer
ican patriotism and crush it with mighty avail
anche of righteous votes.
Wet Papist Therry closes his letter to legs-
latiye candidates with the words, "Yours for Per-
sonal Liberty" The foregoing excerpts from the
letter show the Roman Catholic idea of personal
liberty to be liberty to support Rome and booze
under the whip Of cruel and impudent task
master. He is the champion of that species OF
liberty that threatens relentless destruction to
those who fail to surrender instantly and un,
conditionally to Rome, booze and Doodle. Ohio
voters will attend to his case the thirteenth oi
August.
In his avowed purpose to violate and tramplt
under foot the Constitution Of the United
States, Thierry purposes to legalize every Ro
man Catholic holiday in the calendar-and they
are legion-and to compel their observance BY
severe penalties. Why does he not make long
program short by simply repeating the common
law and all statute law in this country and en-
acting the canon law Of the papacy as the suprem,
law Of the United Statesr It would then onl,
remain to import the crowned sovereign Of tn
papal empire and elect him president. That woult
solve his whole problem. The only serious diff
Guilty in his way is the patriotism Of S5,OO0,00I
American citizens that would then kick both hin
and his crowned sovereign of tho western
hemisphere
Present indications are that Cleveland pa
triots, while washing their hands Of Thierry AM
his combination Of booze and Doodle, viii supper
Alva Diettrick for county commissioner and vii
defeat Charles Stannard for sheriff, Sam Z
Mitchell for republican state committeeman fror
the twentieth district, and all other candidate
that are hitched up with Rome and the hquo
power. America expects every Ohio patriot I
do his full duty.
