ARCHBISHOP HERE
MAY BE CARDINAL
Monsignor Dougherty Being
Talked Of at Vatican
for Elevation

Elevation Of Archbishop Dougherty.
OF the diocese of Philadelphia. to the
cardinalate is being discussed at the
Vatican. according to recent dispatches
from Rome.
Since the death of Cardinal Farley
the 'unwritten law which allots to
America three seats in the Sacred Col
lego has not been carried out so far as
the vacancy is concerned
That Pope Benedict will maine an
American archbishop to the cardinalate
at an early consistory is regarded in
Vatican circles as most probable.
The choice is believed to lie among
Archbishops Dougherty of this city,
Mundelein of Chicago. and Glennon Of
st. Louis.
The last named is the senior. both by
virtue Of his metropolitan incumbency
and the priority of his see. while he
has been unusually active in the promo
ton of Catholic organizations among
the laity. He is also noted as one Of
the broad minded members of the
American hierarchy.
City Prelate Eminently Fitted
Archbishop Mundelein has headed the
Chicago archdiocese for several wears.
having been translated from the Brook
lyn diocese upon the death of Arch
bishop FcPhan. His notable work, par
ticularly during the war. in promoting
tn" loyal service of the polyglot Cath
olics in the Chicago archdiocese won
appreciation not alone at the Vatican,
but with the civic authorities.
OF Archbishop Dougherty it is point
cd out that few American ecclesiastics
can approach his wide experience and
personal knowledge of the complex prob
lens of the church in the United States
native Of this diocese, his student
days were completed in Rome and his
scholarly attainments early obtained
recognition in appointment to important
place in the faculty at st. Charles's
Seminary, Overbrook. He was one of
the first priests sent from the United
States to the Philippines by Pope Leo
Mi. and his services in the dioceses
of Nueva Segovia and ,Jaro were of
conspicuous value both from religious
and patriotic viewpoints.
Upon his return to America Arch
bishop Dougherty was placed in charge
of the diocese of Buffalo. where he
labored successfully until his appoint
mont little more than a year ago to
succeed Archbishop Prendergast.
Will Suggest Candidates
The first Episcopal conference Of
American bishops and archbishops,
which is to be held September "a. it is
expected, may call the attention of the
pope to the American preates con-
sidered most worthy candidates for the
cardinals hat In this event, it is re-
garded as virtually certain that the
name of Archbishop Doughcrty will be
included.
