Baxter said the Evening News was
being conducted as a Democratic
paper with the Maine Publishing Co.
as publisher and Philip Chapman as

Maine goes to the polls September

Nicholson recommended Baxter as the

At stake in the September election
in Maine are the Governors Office,
now filled by a Democrat, Louis j..

Wallace H. White, jr, Republican,

IN TALKAT VATICAN
Bishop Gallagher Declares
Priest Not Discussed in
Talk With Pope.
~ IRE Associite6 Press.

by ire Associated Press
CAsTEL GANDOLFO, Italy, July 81
Bishop Michael Gallagher Of De-
troit said today the political activity
OF Father Charles Il. Couehlin was
not brought up or discussed during
an audience with Pope Plus.
The bishop made the statement i'm
mediately after he had seen the Holy
Father.
Previously he had said he would not
bring up the Coughlin matter.
Pope Plus, the bishop said, sent his
blessings to the clergy and people OF
Detroit and expressed hope that
amidst universal troubles. America
may stand as a nation Of peace and
may decide controversial questions by
ballot, not by bullets"
Audience 1s Minutes.
The Father Coughlin matter did
not come up during the audience
Bishop Gallagher added.
That's what I have been trying to
tell people would happen, but they
wouldn't believe it."
Bishop Gallasher's audience with
the Pope lasted IL minutes.
After 1t he issued q written state
ment which, making no reference to
Father Coughlin. said:
Il prefer to give q written state
ment after my audience with the
holy father because 1 want my
thoughts to be faithfully expressed,
as often have experienced some mis-
representation of my words, also re-
Gently when, for instance, 1 spoke Of
a purely social visit / made to Arch
bishop Pizzardo.
Then some of my declarations were
attributed to the archbishop, while on
his part he pronounced only very
cordial expressions of kindness and
friendship.
my audience with the holy father
was wholly satisfactory. His holiness
was delighted with the report I made
on conditions in the diocese Of De-
troit. and with very paternal affection
he sent his blessing to the clergy and
Catholic people Of my diocese, es-
pecially to all activities Of charity and
the Catholic Action Society.
The Pope talked very kindly about
Catholics in the United States. In
reference to present troubles through.
out the world, 1t is most gratifying
and consoling to his holiness to see
the peaceful attitude of the Ameri-
can people, the strong faith Of Cath
olics in the United States and their
perfect loyalty toward the holy see.
"The holy father hopes that amidst
actual universal troubles America may
stand rs q nation Of peace and. re-
specting human rights. she may decide
controversial questions by ballot and
not by bullets"
