all prospective presidential candi-
dates"
81 should like to vote for GEN
eral Pershing for president pro-
vided he is a Protestant. If he is
a papist, do not mention his
name" (These are pertinent ques-
tions which each voter should in
vestigate for himself before max
ing a final decision. Ed. MENAcE.)
Senator w. E. Borah
CT BELIEVE that William Ed
gar Borah of Idaho is the
ideal candidate, for he has always
been a champion Of free press,
free speech, and the right of free
assembly; and neither pope nor
Jesuits will ever find him truck
ling to them
II think he would attend to his
own business and not waste billions
Of dollars for the fun of seeing a
kaiser licked"
IF he is anti-C Catholic, I am for i
Borah for president. He has the |
courage and the convictions to stop /
misuse of government money for !
endless bank credits, monopoliza-
tion of land, and attendant evils
of landlordism. F"

Such are the preferences ex.
pressed in letters received up to
the time we had to begin classify
ing them for publication. If space
is available, consideration Of later
suggestions will be taken ND in
later issues. Now here is a glR-
gestion THE MENACE wishes to
make to all who have q choice for
the presidency.
Our Suggestion
WE SUGGEST that each Of YOU
w who have written your choice
for THE MENACE, and all others
who have a preference for some
presidential possibility, write at
once to your candidate and find
precisely where he stands on the
question of political Romanism.
Find out where possible candi-
dates stand on the use of public
funds for sectarian institutions
what they think Of Roman Catho.
lie opposition to the public schools.
of Roman Catholic opposition to
the Smith and Townley bills be-
fore the recent congress which pro-
i vide for federal aid Of education
in the states; what they think Of
religious penitentiaries such as 20
by the name of House Of the Good
Shepherd and which are operated
untaxed and uninspected in and
near so many American cities.
If any Of them become candi-
dates they will not hesitate to asl,
you for your vote; and you ara
clearly within your rights in ask.
ing them what they might be ex.
pected to do if elected. Don't be
put off with glittering generalities
that mean nothing. Get q clear
clean,cut answer to defnits cues
] tions; and you will then be in a
position to talk and vote intelli.
gently and knowingly for the kind
of a man desired.
This is suggested as the best
means available for knowing
