Religion Not An Issue In Campagned The Telegraph
The Telegraph rebuts claims that religion should decide the 1928 election. It cites Hoover’s tolerance stance, denounces anti Catholic fears about Al Smith, and argues farmers should judge by records and policies, not papal influence. It asserts there is no foundation for fears of papal dictation and supports Smith’s New York governorship record.
