The South is notorious for its fierce anti- Catholic bigotry. and it is this prejudice which Senator RosINSON, the Democratic candidate for Vice President, is boldly undertaking to grappla with. Altogether, the cam- paiga now approaching its climax is full of interest even for those who are not directly concerned with its result. Among American citizens, millions of men and women who ordinarily take only a casual in- terest in such campaigns will await
the issue of the 1928 contest with anxious concern, for there are cer- tain underground forera at work in this campaign upon whose success or failure depends the future of decent democratic government.
