"Much of the 'tragedy of our
present times is due to the fact
anti-Christian elements have made
it their business to swarm into key
positions in every field of. human
endeavor," he said. "The church
today is faced with greater danger
than In the early first three cen-turies

church looks to America to stem
the tide of communism that is
sweeping the entire world.
"The strong laity solidarity will
assert itself In this crisis that is
facing the world today. These
anti-Christ crusaders, fanatical in
their enthusiasm, cause hundreds
of millions of persons over the
earth to have a false outlook on
life, to ignore their eternal destiny.
On the other hand most Christians
have remained aloof in their small

world to those who hate Christ and
know him not."

he has of the younger generation
our school children. He Is never
too busy to advise and help them
with their problems. Are they not
the future citizens, law makers, the
ones to carry on?
Pew of us have time to UsteJ
to the problem?, heartaches, and
trials of the high school student.
Their ideals are fine, and it is u
wonderful honor to keep that spark
alive in their hearts. We, the
parents, are too busy with what
seems to be more important. Judge
John.on has never been tqcv busy
to listen, and always gives sound
ad\ice, help, and encouragement.
Have seen him with the' football
squad. It is not too much for him
to give UD a whole evening to
them, and other students. He
knows the value of clean, tine
sports.
Now for the voters of today; the
;>nes who wanf to get "away witu
things," have ' tickets for motor
violations fixed, etc. You, of course
will not vote for Jud^e John on,
because he doesn't "fix tickets." The
lawo were made for the good of
humanity. Judge Johnson has
proved that in his day by day liv-ing.
Anyone who has ever taken hic
problems and troubles to Jud'^e
Johnsort"for help has gone home
with that help realized, and , a
feeling of calm arid renewed
courage.
It is an (honor for the people
of Freeport to have the privilege
to vote lor a man of integrity, high
ideals, sound judgment, fine sense
of humor, and a wonderful under-standing
of human nature.

H. Gallo and Judge Hilbert R
Johnson today explained in n Join
statement, why they declined to
accept the nomination ffiven them
by the Home Rule Party at itr
convention on Feb. 11.
They pointed out they were
nominated by acclimation before
Trustees Curpe.iter and Oallo and
Judge Johnson were denied re-iomination.
s. Though they knew
,he meeting hnd been "packed"
against them they declared the1
to wait until a full-.slate had
been placed in the field before dc-
011 a course of action. Then
they withdrew because they felt
hey could not conscientiously as-sociate
them elves with a group
that had refused to re-nomimiU'
candidates upright in character and
of unquestioned ability. Thai was
he reason for Che formation of the
Unity Party. ^

sole purpose of providing clean,
honest government for their vil-lage,"
Mayor Ryan and Trustees
Smith said.
They pointed out that at th:
nominating convention, Dr. New-ton
said:
" We endorsed for office and
helped to elect men whose reputa-tions
were clear, and whose busine*
ability was recognized. These men.
