THE JEFFERSONIAN
Why I Cannot Vote For Wood
row Wilson.
(concluded from page one.)
steel swords, and are well equipped with
ammunition.
I can produce any number of affidavits
from citizens who saw the Baltimore and
Washington parades of last year, that The
Knights of Columbus marched in military
formation, and carried swords and rifles.
The pictures in the newspapers bore simi
lar testimony.
Yet, at the Wichita blow-out, Archbishop
Glennon denied the facts, and Cardinal Gib
bons, by his presence and silence, became a
party to Glennon’s unblushing falsehood.
• * * * * *
This is the treasonable secret order that
Wood row Wilson has joined.
No doubt, his Jesuit private secretary
influenced the act.
It was this wily Jesuit who managed the
Wilson campaign for the nomination; and
who, while the Baltimore convention was in
session, kept the telegraph wires hot.
Wilson owes his nomination to the Roman
Catholic bosses, Charles Murphy, Roger Sul
livan, Tom Taggart and Senator O’Gorman.
Wilson doesn’t owe the nomination to
Bryan, for that betrayer and slanderer of
Champ Clark was maneuvering to get the
nomination for himself.
To make sure of the Romanist vote of New
York City, Wilson has gone to that city, to
join the Knights of that city.
Presbyterian, is he? Politician, he is, and
a most unscrupulous, double-dealing one at
that.
The Knights of Columbus began a syste
matic persecution of me two years ago.
They have prevented me from buying
space in secular papers to advertise my
Magazine.
They have frightened off advertisers, by
veiled threats against the business of the
advertiser.
T hey sent a committee to the Postmaster-
General demanding that the mails be closed
to me.
In their national convention, they form
ally resolved “io put Watson out of busi
ness.”
They have instigated a criminal prosecu
tion against me, because I quoted from one
of their own theological text-books—
J/?/' purpose being to warn Roman Catholic
laymen, and other citizens against the awful
depravities of the Roman Catholic priests in
the Confessional box.
Tn the last issue of the Bulletin of the
American Federation of Catholic Societies,
a column of lies on me are published, and the
Pope’s lickspittles are assured that I am
facing a term of years in prison.
Also, The Knights of Columbus are beseig
ing Congress to pass a law to do what the
IJ. S. Constitution declares Congress shall
never do; to-wit, abridge the freedom of the
press.
If Congress passes such an Act, and the
Federal judges sustain it,. aw r ay goes a lib
erty that cost tens of thousands of lives.
Such a law would go farther to “make
America Catholic” than any one agency that
could be imagined.
All such books and magazines as mine
would be thrown out of the mails.
Rome could not be exposed, ridiculed or
criticised.
We would have to stand mute while
Popery waged war on our public schools,
upon freedom of speech, and finally upon the
sovereignty of the people.
If The Knights of Columbus can destroy
the freedom of the press, they can, and will,
destroy freedom of conscience and of
religion. 11 •’

We hear of the German vote and the Irish
vote, and the Italian vote and the Polish
vote: isn’t it about time the American vote
was asserting itself?
We see office-seekers cater to these various
“votes,” and we sicken when we see how can
didates abase themselves to please the Irish’
and Italian priests to win the Roman Cath
olic vote. *
But is the non-Catholic, American vote
NEVER TO ASSERT ITSELF?
In surrendering to his Jesuit secretary,
and joining the treasonable Romish society
which has threatened both my liberty and
my life, and,which is doing all in its power
to destroy my business, Woodrow Wilson has
forfeited whatever claim he had on my vote.
Had he joined the treasonable Knights of
Columbus before the Baltimore convention
met, all the money of his Steel Trust backers
could not have “put him over.”
I am not seeking to influence other Demo
crats, save as a statement of the facts may
do it.
As a Protestant, and an American who
loves the liberties that our forefathers
wrenched from Popes and Kings, I feel that
it is my right to refuse to vote for a nominee
who, after getting the nomination on false
pretenses, joins a secret society which is in
deadly hostility to those blood-bought prin
ciples upon which our Republic is founded.:
An Appeal to My Friends. Third
and Last Caß.
LI AVE I got 300 friends who believe in me

each?
If so, I can so expand the business of The
Jeffersonian Publishing Company that I will
personally guarantee at least six per cent on
the stock.
Only about $20,000 has been subscribed and
paid for.
Only about $30,000 can be bought at any
price, for I mean to keep enough of'the stock
to assure control.
But one nwn cannot do it all, and my
resources have been sufficiently drawn on.
My time, labor and thought has been given
to the work for five years. I never expect to
charge the Company a salary, or take pay of
any kind for my work.
But we need more capital to develop our
book department, to advertica a&d to put can
vassers in the field.
By hard work and unremitting attention,
I have worked out all the Daaier nonsense, -
and put the business in a perfectly healthy,
sulf-sustaining condition • which happy
result is largaly due to the co-operation of
our Managing Editor and our competent and
interested labor-force.
Our plant is one of the largest and best in
the South. With tlie exception of fifteen
hundred dollars, it is all paid for, and even
that small sum of purchase money is not in
arrears.
We are meeting the installments as they
fall due.
Now then:
After all these years of trial and labor,
and the investment of so much of my own
money, I want to know whether or not there
are 300 men in Georgia and elsewhere who
feel enough interest in me and my work to
put SIOO into it.
Three hundred well-wishers, sending one
hundred dollars each, means $30,000 to the
onward, upward push of my w T ork.
Remember! I am up agaiast 263,000
Knights of Columbus who have sworn to put
me out of business.
Remember! The Knights have sicked the
Federal Government on me.
Are there 300 Protestants, Masons, Odd
Fellows, and non-Romanists, generally, wha
