...recall which was which. Then he said it might have been anti-Tammany or anti-saloon material.* He did not deny that it was "viciously anti-Catholic," as Mr. Raskob said it was. But he roared: "Who is this John J. Raskob that seems so agitated because a Southern Democrat has written something which I thought to be 'hot stuff'? He is the chairman . . . whose St. Louis headquarters have been busy for weeks flooding certain sections of the country with vicious attacks on Mr. Hoover's religious faith...

...battle for the governorship was the chief issue, last week, between the two factions. Clark is supporting Republican Wellington D. Rankin. Anaconda aids the campaign for re-election of Governor John E. Erickson, Democrat. Clark's Free Press exulted, last week, when Candidate Rankin spurned the "Aid of a Kept Press as Kiss of Death." Anaconda's Standard headlined: MUNCHAUSEN A PILLAR OF TRUTH COMPARED TO CLARK. Listed in the story were 6 "major, frenzied, malicious Clark lies." The sixth was "the statement made daily by the Clark newspaper that it is devoted solely to the interests...
