The time to take preventive measures against a disease is before it gets hold of you. I am calling on my country to wake up and use preventive measures now and keep Governor Smith out of the White House. Senators. if the Roman Catholics will do these bold and dangerous things now. with only 19.000.000 Catholics out of 125.000.000 Americans. what will they do under Roman Catholic rule in the United States when they can throw the doors of immigration open and smuggle others in on the side and flood this country in four years time with 20.000.000 more Roman Catholics? Some Senators seem to be asleep on this question. but they are not y themselves . a great many Americans are asleep. But they will get awake after a while. and I am trying to awaken them to things that are alarming and dangerous to our free institutions. 7.
