INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. « The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pega(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

Al Smith: An Analysis of Anti-Catholicism in the 1928 Presidential Election Abstract In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph. "With few exceptions, the details of past presidential elections are largely forgotten over the course of history. As specific campaigns and elections become more distant from contemporary society, people tend to focus on the larger picture of what that election produced, mainly, who actually became the president. And for the majority of the American public, the presidential election of 1928 is no exception to this. But as Allan Lichtman suggests in his book Prejudice and the Old Politics: The Presidential Election of 1928, ―Presidential elections are central events of American politics, often bearing the detailed imprint of the society in which they occur.

Sales of 503 reporting retail stores in September were 6 per cent larger than in the same month of last year according to preliminary figures received by the Federal reserve system. Increases from last year were shown by 314 firms and de- creases by 189 firms. It should be noted that September of this year contained one loss business day and one more Saturday than September, 1927. All of the Federal reserve districts reported larger department store sales than last year, except the Boston, Atlanta, and San Francisco districts, where thp volume did not change, and tho Minneapolis district where sales decreased by 3 per ccnt. Sales of mail order houses were 24 per cent larger than in September last year, and those of five-and-ten-cont chain stores were 12 per cent larger. The changes in the volume of business of these firms reflect in part an increase in the number of retail outlets in operation from month to month.
