WHEN THE HEAD of the
Women's Democratic Club of
Baltimore appealed to the
Catholic women of Maryland
to support Al Smith, the Bal
timore Catholic Review de-
clared: "The Pope would not
dare to make this suggestion
-. his suggestion would not
be accepted if he did dare"
The Associated Press wide
ly quoted from a sermon of
Archbishop John j. Glennon
of st. Louis, the remark that:
1.-The mission of the Church is
the salvation of souls, not the
election of Presidents"
ON LECTION DAY the
New York Times deplored
the religious controversy in
jected into the campaign. Con-
ditions would have been far
worse, the journal asserted,
save for ''the fact that Catho-
lies have exhibited such Won
derful restraint under attacks
upon their Church. They have
kept silent even in the face
of notorious misrepresenta-
ton and calumny."
When the votes were count

Ollie candidate received the

polled by a Democrat, APP

If anti-C Catholicism had been
rampant, still there had been
none of the violence whereby
Know-Nothings in Baltimore
drove Catholic voters from
the polls in 1856. The fair
minded outside the Church,
and especially the secular
press had learned that defama-
tons long accepted without
question, were totally false.
MOST OF ALL, as the New
York Times recognized, the
Church could be thankful that
her children in the United
States had refrained from re-
turning evil for evil.

I'M 1875 THE tremendous
progress of Catholicism in
these United states was
brought out by the Eucharist
Congress in Chicago. At the
same time it furnished unlim-
tied material for baiters of
the Church. At a public recep-
ton in New York for the
Papal Legate, Governor Smith
kissed Cardinal Bon S
ring.
To Catholics this gesture
was similar in other circum-
stances to a gentleman's tip of
his hat or a serviceman's So

lies, however, could scarcely
have howled louder had the
Governor produced a com

No American could
have been unaware of
anti : Catholicism in the
1920'sl AS the decade
opened a fresh method of
attacking Catholic schools was
devised. Readers will recall
that during President Grants
administration a constitution
al amendment had been offer
ed against them; this time the
avenue was through a sover-
eign state.
In 1922 Oregon adopted a
Law whereby every child was
required to attend a public
school. While almost all the
press attributed this law to
the Ku Klux Khan. actually
Scottish Rite Masons were the
original proposerS and spon-
sors of the measure.
FATHER WIN ".
O'Hara, later bishop and arch
bishop, enlisted aid to test the
constitutionality of the Ore
gon law. The Federal District
Court declared: "a compul-
sorry school act could not be
more effective for utterly de-
stroying private schools if it
had been entitled An Act to
Prevent Parochial and Private
Schools from Teaching the
Grammar Grades"
The black cloud which hung
low over Catholic schools was
scattered by the United States
Supreme Court ruling the law
was against the Constitution.
The fundamental right of par
ents to care for their children
had been indicated!
WHILE THIS THRUST was
being successfully turned on
the West Coast, a political
star had risen in the East.
This luminary was the Catho-
lie governor of New York, Al
fred E. Smith. BY three votes
out Of more than 1000 the Ku
Klux Khan kept the 1924 DEM
ocratic convention from con-
demning the order by name

the delegates deadlocked over
the presidential nominee.

CATHOLICS IN AMERICA

ord" Nineteen times he had
taken the oath of office in
New York; the voters persist
ent approval testified to his
faithful execution.
While newspaper reaction
was overwhelmingly favorable
to Smith, a comment in the
Baltimore Sun penetrated to
an underlying truth: "The
people who believe that Ca
tholicism is the enemy of
Americanism will continue to
believe ii no matter how
cogent the proof to the con-
trary."
a GENERATION BEFORE.
Theodore Roosevelt predicted
that the future would see
presidents who are Catholics,
as well as presidents who are
ProteStants."
Once the Democratic dele
gates had chosen the New
York governor, Meth o lis
Bishop James Cannon strove
to confute this forecast. While
stressing the prohibition is
sue, the Bishop did not hesti-
tate to attack Catholicism.
Perhaps more than any other
single individual, Bishop Can
non was instrumental in
breaking the Solid South, ira
ditional bulWark of the DEM
0cratic party.
Herbert Hoover's name had
been placed before the Repub-
lican Convention by a jealous
California Catholic, Joseph
Scott. Subsequently, many of
the faithful became critical
of the Republican candidate
because of his silence regard
ing anti-C Catholic support.
IN ExTENUATION il could
be said that no one knew what
the effect would be since it
was the first national test for
a member of the Church. Not
so easy to understand is the
statement found in Hoover's
Memoirs Up. 209): ''The relig-
ious issue had no weight In

the final result"
Were this analysis correct,
then a stupendous amount of
effort and money was expend-
ed without impact. Space per-
mits but a minute smattering
of the abundant evidence that
campaigners against S m it
considered his Cathol
the vital factor.
A FORMER GOV
declared that it was impossi-
BILE for Al to be at the same
time a good American and a
good Catholic. He urged the
faithful in the United States
to set up a church separated
from the Pope.
An Assistant Attorney Gen
eral of the United States adj
vised a convention of Meth
odist clergymen that they
should tell their congrega-
lions to vote against Smith.
Even the Chicago Tribune, an
ardent supporter of Hoover,
condemned this appeal to re-
ligiOus prejudice as IAN act
for which an official should
be removed from office" But
the official was neither dis.
missed nor ceased campaign
ing until election day on Nov.

A prominent North Carolina
woman asserted that the anti
Catholic literature poured in
to her state must have cost a
million dollars. One producer
had worked for the American
Protective Association against
the Church in the 1905.
ON ONE POST CARD, OF
which he mailed thousands at
the penny rate then in effect,
he wildly claimed that a vic
tory for Smith means the
Pope above the President, the
Canon Law above the Consti-
tuition, and the Papal rag
above the American flag"

the Pope with being The
Chief of White Savers" Be-
fore the writer is a four-page
leaflet sent out by another
publisher. OF the 80 reasons
given for voting agai n st
Smith, more than half are
calumnies against the Church.
It has been estimated that
anti-C Catholic newspapers were
distributed in the astounding
number of 100000 copies
