Answer:

D. Al Smith

Step-by-step explanation:

Al Smith was called the "Happy Warrior". The Happy Warrior was Catholic, Irish, and a New York City Boy. Some of Hoovers supporters ran anti-Catholic hate campaigns. They said that if Al Smith got elected, the Catholic Pope would be ruling America from Rome.
