Ex-Governor of Massachu
setts Accepts Invitation
Extended By President
Rice.

r
Augusta. Ga.—Macon has been se
lected as the convention city for the
seventh annual meeting of the Cath
olic Laymen’s Association of Geor
gia, to be held late in September or
in early October, and Hon. David I
Walsh, the junior Senator from
Massachusetts, one of the most dis
tinguished Americans in public life
today, lias accepted President Rice's
invitation to he present at the con
vention and to address it.
Macon was selected as the 1922
convention city by the executive
committee of the Laymen’s Associa
tion. The only other contender for
the hortor was Washington, which
sent a well-organized delegation to
the last convention in an attempt to
bring the 1922 meeting to Wilkes
County. An invitation from the
Chamber of Commerce and the
Mayor of Washington were among
the inducements offered to persuade
the executive committee to switch
to Washington, hut Macon, whicli
was in the race for the 1921 conven
tion, which eventually was awarded
to Atlanta, was selected.
The announcement that Senator
Walsh wil come to Georgia for the
convention will be received with
unlimited pleasure in the state. His
name is a household word from
coast to coast. He is a graduate of
Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass
and of Heston University Law
School. While still a young man
he became a member of the Massa
chusetts General Assembly, corres
ponding to the Georgia lower house
His unselfish service and his mark
ed ability advanced him step by
step, until he sat in the Governor's
chair, the first Catholic chief exe
cutive of the Bay State. In 1918
he went to Washington, the first
man of his faitli to represent Massa
chusetts in the United States Sen
ate. His oppoent in the race for
the Senate was the presnt seertary
of war, Hon. John W. Weeks.
Senator Walsh is one of the ora
tors of the Senate, and a man of
sound scholarship. Although kept
very busy by his duties in the Sen
ate, he finds time for activities
along religious lines. He was gene
ral chairman some time ago of the
Million Dollar Drive Committee of
his Alma Mater, Holy Cross, visit
ing many states in the interests of
the movement, which was, under his
direction, eminently successful. At
the last convention of the National
Catholic Welfare Council, he ad
dressed a great meeting of the cler
gy and laity at Catholic University
at Washington. His interest in the
Catholic Laymen’s Association of
Georgia is indicated by the fact that
he has promised to come to Georgia
for its annual convention.
Last year the convention was hon
ored by the presence of Admiral
Benson, and the gathering was one
of the greatest Catholic meetings
ewer held in the South. Macon is
determined to put on an even
greater convention than that held in
Atlanta one year ago, and Mr. A. J.
Long, the first president of'the As
sociation, and now a member of its
5 finance committee, writes to the
publicity bureau that “the fires are
alrady started" in the central Geor
gia city for the big gathering. The
date of the convention will he an
nounced later; it will lie either in
the latter part of September or the
early part of October.
A Greeting From Our Bishop-Elect
Father Keyes Expresses His Appreciation of Letters of
Congratulation and Encouragement—Proud That
His Life Henceforth Will Be Spent
In Georgia.
The following letter to The Bulletin from our Bisiiop-
elect explains itself and gives the Diocese of Savannah
additional reason to be grateful for the selection made
by the Holy Father in filling the vacancy caused by the
resignation of our beloved Bishop Keiley:
Marist College,
Washington, D. C., July 22, 1922.
Editor of The Bulletin,
Augusta, Ga.
My dear Mr. Reid:
I wish through you to thank the Catholic Laymen’s
Association of Georgia for their kind words of congratu
lation and encouragement as expressed in the telegram
and letter which they sent me on the occasion of my ap
pointment to the vacant See of Savannah.
As Editor of The Bulletin you ask me for a message
to the faithful of the Diocese of Savannah. In answer
I wish to say that I am not very good at expressing my
sentiments. Add to this that as yet my mind is in a
turmoil. It will require time to become accustomed to
my new surroundings. I had no other hope or aspira
tion than to live and die as a member of the society of
Mary, and suddenly, without warning it is announced to
me that the Holy Father has appointed me to the
bishopric of Savannah. Little by little my first feeling
of fear has given way to gratitude and encouragement
as messages have come to me from priests and people in
Georgia, from the Knights of Columbus, and from the
excellent association to which you belong, the Catholic
Laymen’s Association of Georgia.
Now I can say truly that I am proud that henceforth
my life will be cast, and spent, in Georgia, a state that
can rightly boast of its noble men and virtuous women.
My life will be entirely devoted, from the religious point
of view, to my priests and people. Their interests will
be my interests, and no other interest will I have. In this
I shall only follow in the footsteps of my predecessor,
Bishop Keiley, who has done such excellent work for the
civil and religious life of Georgia. * For I was born in
the South of Ireland where no distinction is made be
tween citizen and citizen from the religious point of
view, and where Catholic and Protestant live peacefully
together in mutual respect and love.
With, kindest regards to you, and with best wishes to
all my friends in Georgia—for I know that I have friends
there—I am,
Sincerely and devotedly yours in Xt.,
M. J. KEYES, S. M.

Bishop-elect of the Diocese, an
nounces that the consecration of the
successor of Bishop Keiley will take
place either in Baltimore or Wash
ington, D. C., August 24, the feast
of St. Bartholomew, Apostle. It is
probable that Bishop-elect Keyes
will come to Georgia a few days
later. Plans are being made for a
formal installation of the new
Bishop of Savannah in the Episcopal
City.
The first statement from Bishop-
elect Keyes after the announcement
of his elevation to Episcopal dignity
was secured by the Washington cor
respondent of the Savannah Morning
News and published in that paper
July 19. He is quoted as follows:
“I shall take up my very important
new duties at Savannah and in
Georgia without any prejudice and
with the broadest good will for all.

Although ihy special
Atlanta, Ga.—Following the
issuing of an order which was
interpreted by the newspapers of
this state as an edict to the Ku-
Klux Klan to discard the mask
and robe in public, Edward
Young Clarke, Imperial Wizard,
Pro Tem, of the Ku-Klux Klan
made public a statement deny
ing that the Klan had been un
masked in Georgia or any other
part of the country. The only
thing he did, Clarke says, was to
issue an executive order “stop
ping for the time being all pa
rades and the use of the.,
ahd costume for any jvrifrpose in
Georgia by the Klarifsmen except
in Klavcrn or Lmdge room of the
Klan.” /
The original order of Clarke
was regarded! 88 compliance with
'Governor Jdardwick’s demand
that the mask be discarded.
The second statement of the Ku-
Klux leader was a surprise to
state. Many - of the papers had
gone so far as to commend the
Klan editorially for the step
they were led to believe had
been ordered.
Augusta, Ga.—Rev. G. X. Schade-
well, one of the most widely known
and beloved priests of the South,
and who. since his ordination thirty-
eight years ago had labored in the
Diocese of Georgia, died suddenly
Monday. July 17, at the home of his
sister, Mrs. Prank C. Beale, New
Haven. Conn., his boyhood home
where he was spending a short vaca
tion. Although Father Schadewc.il
had been in poor health for some time
he was actively engaged in his duties
as chaplain of St. Joseph’s Orphan
age, Washington, Ga., and pastor of
the Catholic Church of that city, and
his death was totally unexpected. He
had been suffering from heart dis
ease for a number of years. His life
long friend, Rev. I). Coyle, of St.
John’s Church, New Haven, was has
tily summoned after the last attack
and administered the Last Sacra
ments to Father Schadcwell before
he died.
The body of the deceased priest
was placed in St. John’s Church, Ney
Haven, Tuesday, and remained the
