Because he is the highest type of
the Christian gentleman"
This Is the way In which l heard
the pastor of Methodist church In
southern Illinois end an argument with
layman on the train coming over
here from st. Louis, says the Wash
ington correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat In u dispatch to his
paper from Cincinnati. The dispatch
continues: The layman. paying due re
spect to the cloth of his opponent, was
trying to convince him that he should
not support Mr. Taft for the presi.
dency and instead should vote for his
Democratic opponent. The churchman
defended the principles of the Repub
lican party and. rs indicated. defended
the man for whom he said he expected
to vote from his personal standpoint of
churchman, because he is the high
est type of Christian gentleman"
1t gave me new idea about Mr.
Taft. 1t seemed to answer some of the
criticisms l had heard Of the Repub.
lican candidate and his creed. In re-
cent years the Democratic candidate
has interlarded his well paid Chau-
tauqua lectures with Sunday sermons
before religious and semireligious So
cieties. 1t seems that he has made
the most of this influence In this cam
paign. and l was curious to discover
ON my arrival here whether there was
support from the church and semi
religious elements In the country for
the Republican nominee
My arrival In this connection could
not have been better timed. As | en-
tered the office of Mr. Taft's private
secretary Friday l saw Bishop ]. c.
Hartzell of the Methodist Episcopal
church emerging from conference
with Mr.. Taft. The bishop. l knew,
has episcopal supervision over the
work OF his great church In Africa.
He has been so engaged for the past
twelve years and has met and formed
the acquaintance of many leading men
not only In Africa, but In Europe and
America. His acquaintance and infiu
ence within the Methodist church are
second to those of few men, as he was
for fifteen years an officer of the so
