Twenty-five million persons, repre
senting more tliun 7" per cent of the
membership of nil Protestant church
organizations In the Trilled States, are
now HiiilliiK their strength to the alli
ance which will curry on to Us logical
oiicliisloti the work uf Attorney Gen
eral Mitchell Palmer In awakening the
people of the nation to a realization uf
their peril from the enemy within and
protecting the government with a firm
hand from those who sought to over
throw It by force and violence.
Americanism and Americanization la
to be the watchword of ttie churches,
uikI tlio Christian people of the coun
try, who have caught the note from the
reveille sounded by Mr. Palmer, will
see to it thiil a man alive to the great
question ami of proved capacity to
carry on the great work that la being
launched Is put at the head of affairs
of government In tills country.
To these millions of earnest people
wtio see in llie safety of the country,
home and fireside the overshadowing
issue of the future, regardless of poll
tics or politicians, there can he no step
I kward now that the forward move
ment Is on, and the man who appeuls
to them most strohgly as measuring up
to the highest standard of American
ism and whose deeds are test-proof of
Ids high purpose to bring his whole
ountry to a realization of the loftiest
deals of citizenship will receive their
undivided support lu primary, election
and In the administration of his high
ottlce.
Before the great campaign of Ameri
canism to tie utnlerliikeii by the Protes
tant church organizations is well under
way H would not he surprising to tind
the percentage lu I he alliance grow to
u round HKI per cent, representing 1IKJ
per cent Americanism.
The great hierarchy of the Human
Catholic Church In the 1'nlted States
is heart and soul with the movement
for Ainerlcuiiizatloti and will lend Its
full strength to the promotion through
the far-reuching channels of the
church of the preaching ami teaching
f staunch Americanism to the many
millions of lis congregation within the
t'nlted States.
A pastoral letter, the llrst Issued ly
the heads of the Catholic Church In
the United Slates In .'So years, has re-
ntly gone to ull lis people, In which
the following paragraph Is not the
least lu importance of the declarations
of tlie letter:
'Whatever may he the Industrial and
social ret lies which will approve
themselves to the American people,
there is one that, we feel confident,
they will never adopt. That Is the
method of revolution. For It there is
neither jusilllcation nor excuse under
our form of government. Through the
ordinary and orderly processes of edu
cation, organization and legislation all
social wrongs can be righted. While
these processes at times may seem dls
tiessingly slow, they will achieve more
lu the llnnl result than violence or rev
olution. The radicalism anil worse
Ohm radicalism of the labor movement
in some of the countries of Kurope has
no lesson for the workers of the Unit
ed States except as an example uf
methods to be detested ami avoided."
Thus the churches and their people
in the United Stales stand nulled lu a
determined movement to look to the
future security of the government of
their country and the peace and happi
ness of lis people. In this, us lu many
similar ninvineuls which have written
history, It Is more a question of the
man than the measure.
The formation of the powerful alli
um- in the Interchurch world move
ment to campaign against red radical
ism with Americanism is but another
proof that the A rliaii people have
made the Issue of the day for the gov
ernment, for the church and for th
nation. It la stated that the Inter
church world movement Is serving af
a clearing house for speedy and co
operative action to cope with the evlli
of radicalism, which huve liven made
public as the result of a nation-wide
survey. On their own account the rep
ivseiitntlveii of these ;i,ii,insl people
of the country have found that "Amerl

The head political writer yf the
Philadelphia Kvenlug Ledger, one of
the publication of Cyrus II. K. Curtis
uiul hogiied with its owner's grave
yard campaign fur Herbert Hoover,
asked for sonic llmires a few days ago
fi'ntn a iniin whom he describes as "a
member of the I'emocrallc organiza
tion who should know as much about
the prospects as any one does," and he
gut them. And, to his credit be it said,
he published them. This Is v, hat he

McAdoo as a candidate the rest of the
votes will be scntured around In a
highly complimentary fusldon among a
lot of men who will feel Muttered to
have their names 'among rhe others

Mr. Hoover's recent action In declar
ing himself to he a Republican and a
receptive candidate for the nomination
nt the hands of the Republican Na
tional Convention, of course, elimi
nates him from consideration nt tlie
hands uf the Pemncracy. It Is not rea
sonable to suppose that any Iieuiocrnt-
Ic delegates would be willing to vole
for the enst off candidate of Hie Re
publican Convention. It Is therefore
probable that Mr. Palmer will get bis
share of the !H) votes which the politi
cal expert quoted assigns to Hoover.
The figures given above allot to
Palmer not only mofe votes than any
other candidate for the Hemocrntlc
nomination, but more than can con
scientiously be claimed for tiny candi

present outlook. Any one of tlie sev
eral Republican candbhtles who could
