the SmithTowner bill. was urged
upon the Senate yesterday by Sena-

Opposition by Roman Catholic or

Senator Smith to be based ION utter

true. he said. of the charge that "the

gan with a speech of priest at
1919. which was based on utter mis-
conception of the bill" Senator
Smith said.
Recently I have seen an organiza-
tion made with a direct purpose to
produce Catholic education. The
principle announced by their educa-
tional leader, indorses the principles
of this bill. And yet senators are
receiving kilograms from good citi-
