The American Protective association representatives said the nsso- clation desired to serve notice on the demo- cratic committeo that no Catholic who was a candidate for office in the spring campaign would receive the support of the American Protective association, and that under exist- ing conditions the winning ticket in the spring would be one composed entirely of Protestants. Then they entered upon a longthy resume of the work of the American Protective association’ against the Catholics, who, they said, were trying to obtain con- trol of the government., Charman Graham, in reply to the query as to whether the democratic city conven- tion would keep all Catholics off the ticket, said that if he went to the convention as a delegate he would not vote 1o keep any man from running for ofiice mevely because he was a Catholic: and that, on the other hand, he would not vote to puta man on simply becaase he was & Prot nt. This was give as the position the democratic city commit- tee would take on the issue presented by the American Protective association, and by the committee was received as its answer. ‘I'ne same committee called on the repub-. lican city central committee later in the day and made similar demands.
