RUNNING MATE of Governor Smith
in the Presidential campaign, Senator
Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, is head
ing a drive by 250 well-known speakers
to elect the Democratic ticket.
Freemason Who
Opposes
Smith
Betrays Order
A Freemason Is disloyal to his or
der and betrays It if ho opposes the
election of a Catholic to the Presi
dency on religious grounds, according
to Supreme Court Justice Townsend
Scudder, former Grand Master of
Masons in New York State.
In a letter to William Ritchie, Jr.,
a fellow mason of Omaha, Nebraska,
and chairman of the Smith-for-Presl-
dent clubs in that state, who had
telegraphed that some Masons were
refusing to support -Smith, Justice
.Scudder wrote:
“There is no connection between my
Freemasonry, the Governor’s Catholi
cism and my advocacy of his election
as President. Freemasonry has no
concern with any man’s religion clher
than to exact of its members belief
in God and moral lives. Governor
Smith is a God fearing man, a church
man and lives a moral life.
“It follows then that a Freemason
Is disloyal to his order and betrays
it who opposes Governor Smith’s elec
tion solely because the Governor is a
Catholic, and such an one is also dis
loyal to our country because he ap
plies a religious test as a qualiilcatlou
for otllce which the constitution of
tho United States forbids.
“Governor Smith to my mind typi
fies the spirit and genius of America.
Ills lifo and attainments are, and
ever will be an Inspiration to our
youth. 1 support him for tho Presi
dency for tho very reasons which Im
pelled my forebears to support Abra
ham Lincoln.
Justico Scudder is a former mem
ber of Congress and has served as a
member of the Supremo Court bench
of New York State almost continually
since 1907.
