Chairman Raskob had some photostats made. He obtained affidavits from people in Mississippi, Kentucky, Kansas and Tennessee who described instances where Republican officials, State and national, had engaged in whipping up anti-Catholic animus. The most common offense seemed to be handing out The Fellowship Forum, nauseous, rabid Klanpaper (see p. 59). Two of the owners of this sheet, Mr. Raskob noted, were Republican State Chairman R. H. Angell of Virginia and William G. Conley, Republican nominee for Governor of West Virginia...
Maine has gone. But not as Maine goes go all Mainiacs. In the fishing village of Friendship, Me. (near Rockland), for example, there is considerable animus towards both the Presidential candidates.

The Tribune account, a copy of which had to be toned down for the Tribune's New York offspring (Daily News), gloated over "the pottery barrage and the volley of language which accompanied it?language familiar to the gaudy-sashed lumberjacks but seldom heard at social functions." There was a besmirching leer in the Tribune's subhead: "Four Trucks of Booze." And when the bride...
