This is the fourth edition Of THE
MENACE sent to all the registered
voters Of Alabama within less than
two months, so that the men,
women and children of the state
are well informed as to Roman
Catholic interference with the civil
Offices and politics of the state; only
Kilby's vigorous declarations in op-
position to popery's attempted dom
nance of state and nation were
placed before the whole electorate
of the state in the first three Ala
bama editions, those Of June 20,
July 9, and July 90. He therein
is shown to have declared himself
without reservation to be in reso-
lutte and determined antagonism to
Roman Catholic usurpation of the
functions Of the state. This can
be made no palmer than has already
been set forth in the three Alabama
issues of THE MENACE that have al
ready been read by the electorate Of
the state.
