ly commended by President Theo- dore Roosevelt, Samuel Gompers, Cardinal Mercier, the Catholic hier- archy of America, and the public press throughout the English-speak- ing world.
 The meetings on the Green are announced as part of the national education campaign conducted by the Catholic Campaigners for Christ which started five years ago to demonstrate the practicability and timeliness of carrying the Catholic message to the man in the street. The present motor apostolate of these pioneer Catholic outdoor speakers has carried them along the concrete for over eighty-thousand miles through Florida, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, California, Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, and oth- CT states. The fourth lap of this unique apostolate to the man in the street begins here in Connecticut this month, under the patronage of His Excellency, Maurice F. McAu- life, Bishop of Hartford, and it is announced to continue until the people of America have had a chance to hear from Catholics themselves the things Catholics really believe and practice.
 The subject of the opening ad- dress will be '"The Credentials of the Catholic Church.. It will be fol- lowed by a quiz when the oppor- tunity will be given the audience to ask questions either by word of mouth or in writing.
 Opposed In California
 When questioned about the work, MT. Goldstein said, we have re- ceived a courteous hearing every where except on the Plaza of Sacra- mento. California, where the Com munists manifested their preference for Moscow rather than Rome, and in Nelsonville, Ohio, where the K. K. K. burned a cross in our honor." This respectful hearing is due to our determination to offer not the slightest offense to those whose inheritance, environment and study have caused them to be un- favorable to our church. We speak to the people assembled around our lecture car in an unmistakably frank and courteous manner, al- ways positively proclaiming what we believe to be the teachings of our dear Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ"

to tear down this historical build
ing and rebuild it. I am unalter.
ably opposed to it and I will
fight every move. I have some
new material and I hope we can
defeat the measure"
Representative Wearin last ses-
sion proposed to move the Capitol
to his home State rather than
change the present building.
On the other hand Senator Con-
nally is hopeful Of favorable ac-
ton. He has been advised that
