and oppressive to Catholics. Courts
have overturned those laws.
The Nebraska law was law tell
ing everybody that he must not
allow his child to learn a foreign
language in a grammar school. The
Oregon law was law telling every
body that he must send his child
to a public school, where 1t hap
pens that the instruction is all
secular and none Of 1t religious.
These laws were thought by
Catholics to be invasions of natural.
God-given human rights possessed
by people over their own actions
and over those Of. their children.
The courts came along and said
that these laws were also invasiOns
Of Constitutional rights possessed
by all American citizens. Courts,
therefore, threw these laws aside
and declared them void.
Naturally this circumstance has
given many Catholics a certain spe-
cial regard for courts.
To that regard certain Republican
managers and certain Democratic
managers intend to make steady
appeal.
Recalls 1856 Election.
This election is going 20 be the
most racial and religious election
since 1856.
In 1856 there were three candi-
dates. There was a Democratic
candidate; there was a Republican
candidates; and there was an
American" candidate.

The Democratic candidate-James
Buchanan, Of Pennsylvanla-went
| along with the Southern defenders
and maintainers of slavery for
negroes.
The Republican candidate-John
c. Fremont Of California-opposed
the extension OF slavery into the
new territories and States Of the
Northwest.
The American" candidate-Mil-
lard Fillmore Of New York--ran on
platform which politely land with.
out any specific mention Of Catho.
lics) demanded in absolute effect
that no Catholic should be permitted
to held public office in the United
States.
Mr.. Fillmore carried the State Of
Maryland. He ran second in Cali
fornia and Delaware. He made a
formidable showing in Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Ten.
nessee, and Missouri. He accumu.
lated almost 100000 votes out of a
total of approximately 1000, 900.
He would have accumulated many

as a person even more congenial to
their views than Mr.. Fillmore.
The Democratic party in It's
platform in 1855 denounced the
views Of the American" party.
The Republican party in its plat
form did not.
The historical fact is that the
Republican party began with an
unavoidable alliance with anti
Catholic sentiment.
This is part Of the reason why
most of the Catholic vote in the
north has ever since been Demo.
cratic.

to sympathiZe with the numerous
motorists from whom he collects
fines for violations of the motor

that while driving members Of his

of the courts against La Follettes
propositions for curbing that power.
The La Toilette managers will
respond with a demonstration Of
La Follette's well-known opposition
to legislation which the Catholics
for their own reasons dislike.
Meanwhile the Republicans win
also be attempting to regain from
La Toilette their smaller but i'm
portant proportion of the Catholic
vote.
The upshot is going to be that
there will be more race and religion
in this campaign than in any other
since the one in which the Repub.
lican party made It's first national
appearance.

GRAIN LOSS A MILLION
IN WAREHOUSE FIRE

PORT COSTA. Calf, Sept. H.
The huge grain warehouse Of the
California Warehouse Company. con-
tanning $4,000 tons Of grain, was
completely destroyed by fire early
today with a loss that is expected
to run into a million dollars.
Firemen succeeded in saving
three big neighboring warehouses.

the United Colored Democracy, goes
about the country calling attention
to a long list of negroes in New
York city appointed to office by
Mayor Hylan and Tammany.
Frankly, there is. not the slightest
doubt that the Republicans are 60
ing to lose many old-time Republi-
can negro votes this fall.
In mitigation ot their misfortune.
1t is to be noted that the negroes
do not get much chance to vote
In the South and that in the North
the negro vote is more important
congressionally than presidentially.
In Illinois, for instance, which Is
a great northern negro State, the
census of 1920 showed 100, 900
negroe- concentrated in Chicago,
where they tend TO inhabit a BLACK
belt" This is important in Chicago
district elections to Congress.
Negro Vote in Illinois.
On the other hand, the census of
1920 showed in all Illinois only 1872.
900 negroes out OF total popula-
ton OF approximately six and half
million people in the State. This
indicates that the negro vote is a
minor factor in Illinois in the cleo
ton Of Statewide Presential elect.
ors.
Unless the election is very close
throughout the North, the negro
vote, while perhaps determining the
result in certain districts congress
sionally, will not determine the re.
suit presidentially.
The Catholic vote is more impor-
tant.
In the nation as whole there
are today sixteen Catholics in every
100 Of total population.
In Illinois eighteen out Of every
100 persons are Catholics.
In New York State it is twenty
six out of every 100. In Rhode
Island it is forty-three out of every
100.
Catholics As Factor.
The Catholics can be quite de-
cisive factor in many States.
OF the three candidates, La Fol-
lette undoubtedly has in certain
ways the best record from the
Catholic standpoint. Not only was
he tina first candidate to denounce
the khan but he continuously has
opposed "sumptuary legislation. "
Catholics by tradition and by the
ology are against 'sun1ptuary ligis,
Neutrality-suspicious. which dictates
personal habits to the citizen.
To put It candidly and clearly,
La Toilette voted against the Vol.
stead law; and, while there are
many Catholics who favor the Vol.
stead law and while there are multi.
tudes of Catholics who are total
abstainers on principle, the general
tendency Of Catholic teaching is
that total abstinence should rest on
personal private principle and not
on public enactment.
Thus La Toilette is equipped
with certain strong appeals to the
Catholic vote.
Moreover, there are many Ger.
man Catholics who like La Toilette
for his attitude toward the war
and many Irish Catholics who like
him for his favorable view of Irish
independence and for his hostility to
the League Of Nations.
The POLLEN was:
How to detach this Catholic vote
from La Toilette?
Curling Power of Courts.
A tentative and possible answer
was found In La Follette's support
of propositions for :. curbing the
power Of the courts.
Legislatures in Nebraska and
Oregon have passed laws obnoxious

O'ROurke Says S135,000
In Tickets Turned
Over

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Tex Rick
ard, New York $ leading boxing
promoter, denied emphatically today
the charges made III Albany yester-
day by Tom o 'Rouke, former deputy
boxing commissioner, that he had
turned over $135,000 worth of tickets
for the Dempsey-Firpo fight last
fall to spectators.
Richard said that the only tickets
left after the fight had been staged
were those of $40 and SIS denomina-
tions, which, he said, were always
the hardest to sell.
O'Rouke, who was connected with
the Polo grounds club at the time,
charged before a legislative commit
tee that Rickard turned back $135,-
600 worth of seats that could have
been sold at the box office.
Rickard said this morning that
the boxing commission had gone over
and had approved his accounting for
the tickets and that he had moth
ing to fear. While it had been hint
ed around for several days that
O'Rourke was ready to "spill big
scandal it was big surprise when
he took a shot at Rickard, as it
was understood that he had his gun
aimed at former member of the
