Ultra- montanism is in this country a lost either directly or indirectly con- cause., To the limbo where it be- longs, Protestant bigotry must fol- cerned in the twenty-five million dollar bond measure which will be loy. The conduct of the church, voted on next Tuesday. So that above reproach in this re may be no misundersianding Tastice to. state that the Association ef Depositors bill which had some thirty-three thousand signers and which was circulated some six years Pago and for which association I was d still am attorney, has had noth- whatsoever to do with the now Ee poue twenty-five million dollar i This bill of six years ago provided it only guaranteed claims allowed ir the Gu: ity Fund Commission be paid and provided for a contin- uation of the assessments against the banks. At that time there was sufficient money in the Guaranty Fund of this State which together with the assets of the then closed banks plus the continued assess- ments on state banks to have paid the four million dollars worth of claims in full within a reasonable time without it costing the taxpayers 8 single dollar. Had that measure been voted on f and adopted by the ple of this state it unquestionably would have ; prevented the closing of some one fundred and fifty banks that have since been closed. The present Measure to be voted on Tuesday wever, includes claims that have been rejected by the Guaranty Fund Commission together with a_per- fect conglomeration of other claims which were not even morally guar- anteed by the State of North Da- kota. Manifestly there is no reason why anyone should be compelled to pay taxes to pay a claim of this char-. acter. It would be just as logical to ask a man to pay another man’s note. Every man has a right to his own opinion. Personally, I am against the proposed measure, and so noti- fied the president and secretary of the Taxpayers Association who are fighting the measure and Hon.

Will appreciate it if you will lish Mr, Sedgwick’s letter in t issue of the Tribune. A. H, Clothier. To the Editor of the Sun—Sir: As an editor who during the Smith- Marshall debate chanced to be where teligious controversy was thickest, and who before and since that his- toric episode has had abundant op- portunity to observe the relations ‘% this country between church and state, may I be allowed to bear pub- lic and admiring testimony to the nity, the forbearance and the good cil zenship of the Roman clergy in America? I doubt indeed whether our history affords an instance of a large and cohesive body of men who, under the bitterest provocation, have better kept their self-control. and self-respect. What they have felt under a cam- paign of undeserved aspersion could pecan not be expressed in words. ut in all the welter of open slander and covert sneers I have not noted a single un-Christian retort, a singlé unworthy reply made by a priest of the Church of Rome. Let us be just. This church, quite pe: to most of us, has taught us a Te8son in manners and in morals, It is a commonplace of such reasonable conversation as is still conducted during this campaign that had the ‘Watholic clergy thrown themselves into the Pee arly after the pat- tern of their Methodist brothers the Republic would have rocked on its foundations. What would good Americans say if some Democratic hter of Rome were to appeal to lic churches to. organize as definite political groups and strike a blow for the cause which they be- lieve to be the cause of temperance? Possibly that “Joan of Are” would have been burned at the stake, and not. ii deservedly. , But it is not the mischievous fana- ticism of Mrs, Willebrandt to wl I would refer (though to many citi- zyns Mr. Hoover's willingness to pro: fit by her activities injures his oth- | erwise unexceptionable stand), but | rather to the vulgar and ignorant | abuse given the central church of lay’s Christendom by the unthinking of ] all classes. These are matters brought home to my personal knowl-| | edge. My mail reeks with im- vecilities about “Rum and Roman- ism.” It is stated that the Jesuits have bought in secret the magazine which I edit, and I am offered~the/ | choice of pleadin, ilty either to knavery or utter folly. ‘The fine ap- peal made by.

Boston, October 18, IN SUPPORT OF HOOVER Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 2, 1928. Editor Tribune: Fifty-two state organizations of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, comprising a membership of. close to a million women, have now met in state and county conventions and given approval to the candidacy of Herbert C. Hoover and Charles Curtis. The resolutions to this ef- fect have been almost uniform in their antipathy to Alfred E. Smith on the ground that his liquor views would add more problems to law en- foreement rather than solve the liquor question; while on the other hand the women of the oldest and largest temperance organization de- clare that their support of Hoover and Curtis with them is not a ques- tion pf partisan politics but merely a question of the support of the con- stitution and the supremacy of law. Several times during the campaign has it been charged that certai C. T. U. leaders are out campaigning for Smith. Many of these so-called “leaders” have never been located by the W. C. T. U.; several of them have turned out to be ex-members of lo- cal unions. Wet politicians have written letters to newspapers sign- ing themselves “W. C. T. U. Mem- bers.” One recent hoax occurred in|; Kansas City, where a paper printed a letter from a purported W. C. T. U. member, who said she was the mother of twelve children, grand- mother of many more, and that she believed Smith was a better friend of prohibition than Hoover. This letter was reprinted in a leading | Arkansas paper, with a bitter edi- toral comment—but a thorough search of the town given as the home of this “mother of twelve” re- veals that no one ever heard of her —including the postmaster, who re- turns letters addressed to this fic- titious mother. May I call attention to this fact also? Before election will you con- sider carefully whether the high- ways would be as safe with a “wet” president at the head of our nation as with a pronounced and undoubted friend of prohibition in the white house? Canadian statistics show that there is an increase of automo- bile accidents with the increase in liquor sold by the government.

The Supreme Court of our State is @ case at 5 I have known Judge A. G. Burr for 37 years. I first met him as a student in law, at the Universtiy of Michigan in 1891. I was a student at the time in Liberal Arts and clashed in debate with the “Laws”. I came from Michigan and Alexan- bad|der Burr came from North Dakota. He was one of the outstanding stu- dents and attracted my attention by his high scholarship, his ideals, and his moral integrity. We associated together somewhat about the Uni- versity campus, little dreaming at the time that we-would ever meet again after our degrees had been conferred. But some 28 years ago IT heard he was an enterprising at- torney at law in North Dakota, and when I came to this state 19 years ago I soon discovered that he was beloved by everybody I came in contact with, so much so that they exalted him to the District bench where he performed his duties with such skill, understanding and judi- cial discrimination that it was only logical that he would soon be in our Supreme Court. That is a hasty recital of many years, but back of it all and through it all we must see the weaving of the threads of sound character, of manly virtues, ‘of accurate understanding in law, lof judicial temperament, of high reputation, and of true confidence. Is there any reason why we should W.!not continue to have the benefit of i his wisdom and experience and high It seldom comes| a judicial ability? to the lot of a man to be held in such high esteem as Judge A. G. {Burr is by men and women in all walks of life. He graces the high office with dignity and profound ing and the State is fortunate his services in our high- est judicial court. The same thing may be said of the other two Justices whose re- election is before us, Judge W. L. Nuessle and Judge L. E. Birdzell. I have known these men for a less time than Justice Burr, but what I equally as well said of these two men whom we have had so long on the Supreme Bench, and who have so discriminatingly adjudicated the appeals which have come before them—an enviable record and they merit our unqualified support next Tuesday at the polls. Now, why do I urge my fellow citizens to support these men by their franchise? First, because of their worth and record of achieve- ment which so highly deserves cur esteem; and secondly, because of the contemptible attempt to debauch the highest tribunal of the state, if the language used against these men istering justice fearlessly, law.
