New York, Aug. 22.—Catholic votera throughout the United States were urged, at a mass meeting of the Ger- man Roman Catholic Central Verein here tonight, fo unite and cast their infiuence at the poils “where it will best subserve the high and holy prin-t ciples” for which Catholics = stand. James_F. ZIpf, president of the Gon- zaga Union of St. Louis, Mo, who made the appeal, declared there were at least 3,000,000 Catholic voters in the country—"quite a force,” he said, “for the bringing about of proper condi- tions.” “That,” Mr. Zipf added, “is almost as many votes as the republican party polled at the last general election. That Very number places in our hands a power to be used in works of social civic betterment, in works of mercy and of peace. When the Catholic arm is uplifted let it be for conmstruction always, but never for destruction.” Mr. Zipf asserted he was not con- tending for a religious party, but for an organization of Catholics to “bring into public life a spirit of liberty and toleration.” “We must be so organized,” he de- clared, “and under such leadership that upon occasions we speak forelbly as one man and say to the Black Hand of religious intoleration, hypocrisy and hatred, “Thou shalt not enter here, 80 far shalt thou go and no further.’” A resolution demanding at the end of the world war the pope e heard In the council of the nations for the securing and cementing of a perma- nent peace,” was passed by the Amer- ican Federation of Catholic Societies at its convention.
