thatii may read all right for some of
the. non-thinking illiterates in Crisp
county but it doesn’t sound very well
'when we get down to truth in talk
ing about some of the Georgia voters
who couldn’t win many prizes over
the ‘eastern wop and ward-heeler.””
If some of these “non-thinking illi
terates” down here in Crisp county
have to go after Jim Williams and
face him with this blarney he is
handing our readers of the Dispatch,
ke will want to deny he ever wrote
such a thing, He'll be awfully glad
that 'The Dispatch was disposed to
sav that it was all an aeccident—that
Jim Williams didn’t mean it.
Now, hear Jim Williams again:
“The Cordele Dispatch should not
forget there are' some politicians in
Geergia who will be rudely surprised
when they find that one cannot yeli
“Itoman Catholic”—and get all of the
spoils.
' “Whether one agrees or not, it must
be forgotten that General Grant once
said: ‘There are three parties in this
country-—the republican, the demo
cratic and the Methodist church.’
“Secret societies, church and Sun
day school affiliations had more than
anything else to do with electing our
preseit governor in dear old Georgia.
“When it comes to church and
state, and church mixing in z.:overu-i
mmufi? &QL‘ are a few protestant 01:-':.
‘ganizations in Georgia that will bea‘;
v.uti:hin;:."
Yeiling C',z_},hmiqp-ian?-qur hfi‘snesg"p
AR _('f'“'utfiolic”who goes ,-?afl,lout,'v‘h’ls re
ligion in honesty and sincerety has
our deepest and sincerest regard. We
have ‘no views ~that'rm"t in line with
the Roman Catholic religion, may he
‘too poor for any other religion, but
we have no stone to throw at any
person who ig tirying to live the creed
cf the Master of Men according to
his own way of thinking. That's his
business. Thinking of that alone, we
are thankful that the constitution of
this country guarantees religious free
dom. J
But there is another gide. The
Roman Catholic takes his religion in
to politics. He “log rolls” for all he
is worth to hold Catholic supremacy
in politics. That's the impulse be
hind the candidacy of Al Smith as.
national democratic leader. He isn’t
all the great governor of New York
that he is painted for “ignorant”
southern people to feed on, but if the
wops and ward heelers of the state
of New York want him, that suits
us. They are entitled to run their
own aifairs. But nothing in their po!'-
}itivs commends them as dictators for
iu--. All their politics ig Catholie. A
nrotegtant in New York is worth
about as much in politics as a Cath:
olic 1= worth in the politics of Ceor
gin. One couldn’t hetter describe the
tfPue situation, Nothing but Iloman
Catholicism goes in New York. We
are not ready to accept such a situ
ation for this nation. God deliver us
from the day that Roman Catholicism
}i:; g 0 powerful in this country as to
’he able to dominate and conirol na
}ti«)nul politics. That day will con
}ulu(k the era of free institutions in
'America. s
. A hundred . years. Bgo, #nd - Morg;
Mexico fell into the hands of the
Roman Catholics. The ardent devot
od Cathalics of Mexico who believe
in separation of church and state
have done many fine things for the‘
ignorant, helpless Indians in that
country, but the priesthood, the heir
archy, of the Roman Catholic church
in Mexico, in overy inteirfercnce with
the affairg of state, in the schools,
the social relations, the very home
lite of the people, have sought to
shape their very destinies as slaves,
as sgerfs, as vassals of Rome. These
things are true. We know they are
true. The thinking ang reading pub
lic in this country has been told over
and over again ‘that it is true——that
Meoxico presents now the greatest pall
of ignorance and helplossnc'ss the
New World can afford anywhere—all
chargeable to the releatless domina
tion of Rome in a churci maintenance
of a syvstem of beggarly slavery be
cause it presides over the ownership
of the lands and actually lays its
hands on all the earnings of the poor
er classes for the church—the priests.
Roman (Catholicism is fighting for
j“suprom:u',\' in free Americg. That's so
‘whether Jim Williams wants to ad
;mit o word of it cr not. We know
'it—have known it since the McAdco
fight with the Al Smith forces in the
New York convention. We see evi
dences of it every day that the Amer
ican Catholics in their political ac
tivities seek to drag this country in
in a row with the Calles adminigtra
tion in Mexico.
We are not running for office. We
do not belong to the Ku Klux Klan—
never have. It is wrong in its foun
(dation principles. But so is the Clan
’ne Gael—wrong in its very founda
tion principles. Because all hell could
not shake or change a Catholic trend
—hecause the Roman Catholic aim is
to control the politics of this country
—we cannot find surprise in a pro
testant challenge. Roman Catholic ac
tivities are toward control of Amer
ican politics — state affairs, public
school systems, newspapers, free in
stitutions of every type and charac
‘ver which have to do with the shap
ing of public thought. Jim Williams
may not believe that. We cannot
help it., He will some day—unless
the Catholics are driven out of these
aims which constitute all of their ac
tivities today.
They must be beaten, Klan or no
Klan, ' Their grasp on the helm of
'American free government would be
‘the greatest tragedy since the day
,_q\mm‘?tan free instit@@iolls ‘saw their
birth in the blood of the patriots. Ong
has bt to study the Spain of today,
ithe Mexics of today, to understand.
The profestant religion is the geni{xfi
of thiz American republic. Jim Wil
liams may not unde‘rstandvthis, hut
we want him to know: that we think
that ‘way ahout it. 'We are not run-|
ning for office. We are not yellin;"
Catholics just to hear it reverberatc
over the hills and down the valleys
We want an American governmoni
geparate and apart irom the church
Frotestants built it that way—- they
have a right to protest wnen the
Catholics come in to change it, to
put Rome in charge of the siate and
all religion. :

’ NOT A STATES RIGHT ISSUE
States rights is in the fight over
the seating of Smith and Vare in the
next United States senate session,
‘but no state has a right to run over
the entire country in the seating ot!
@ man who bought his way through.‘
'Many a state’s rights have been run
over rough shod for less than a seat
in the United States senate. It is|
an ill-timed complaint now—the righ.:l
of a state to send whomsoever it!
pleases to occupy a seat in the L‘:!ite(l’
‘States senate. That isn’t the ri~ht
of a state,
Back yonder in the war of the Con
federacy some of the states said thoy
had the right to secede. They' may
have had that right, but it “asn’t{
expedient, and today we are glad
there was no secegsi~ ~~ ‘2F &°
our nati-ies sacerests arc involved.
States have not the right fo. send
whomsoever they please to occupy a
seat in the United States senate.
