Edmund A. Moore Catholic Runs for President

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book has its setting in a brief time-space not long after the Progressive movement reached its cul mination. It was assumed that large-scale movements directed against Catholics belonged to the past. But so old an emotion as no-popery proved responsive to a favorable climate. The nineteen twenties were such a time; the decade witnessed a freshening of the tree of bigotry and a harvest of bitter fruit. This demonstra tion of the vitality of the old hate came as a distinct shock to many Americans.
