Catholics Demanding Offices

In an address at St. Louis last week, Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul is reported as saying that the Catholics of the United States should be more largely represented in the holding of public offices. To quote a portion of his remarks:—
There are now seventeen million Catholics in this country, and they are not represented in its great offices as they should be.
