to lead their flocks into Republican
headuarters so that their votes may be
marshaled against Smith. This type
of appeal for votes, coupled with the
contemplate tactics of the Ku Klux

the Republican party for success in
November.

stand-religious freedom. We now have
the Republican party being propped up
