of C. grow suddenly pacific; and the Igoe
member from St. Louis can only pluck up
spunk enough to say, “/
Some of Igoe’s supporters may want to
know why he didn’t object, when his Roman
ist colleague was putting the other three cases
into the Record —to be sent by the million
through the mails at public expense.
Igoe didn’t have any votes to spare, when
he was elected.
Had not his opponents divided, the Roman
priests could not have sent him to Congress.
Let us hope that Igoe's opponents will not
divide this year, and that this intolerant
Footkisser will be left at home.

Aired Priesi Resigns Rather than
Countenance the Criminal So
ciety Known as The Ancient
Order of Hibernians.
COME months ago, allusion was made in
The Jeffersonian to the incendiary and
treasonable speech which Joseph McLaughlin
made in Savannah.
McLaughlin lives in Boston, and is the
President of the American branch of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians.
He applauded treason, and the Catholics of
Savannah applauded him.
In 1906, the American who was President
of the Hibernians, was Mathew Cummings,
and in a speech which he made at Fall River,
Massachusetts, he said that his organization
had been variously known in Ireland as Con
federal ionists, Whiteboys, and Ribbonmen.
After the English government prosecuted and
outlawed the Ribbonmen, the order took the
name of St. Patrick’s Fraternal Society.
Later it took the name of Ancient Order of
Hibernians.
(See The Unknown Power, edited by Lord
Ashtown, page 34. See also the National
Hibernian, Sept. 15, 1906.)
The crimes committed by this popish secret
society against Irish Protestants, are the foul
est known to the history of Ireland.
