Keep Clear Of It.

WASHINGTON. Aug. ls.-There is no

WASHINGTON, Aug. is.-speaker Cannon
10 IN disfavor with the Methodist Episcopal
Church. The basis of this antagonism
to the Speaker 10 said TO rest on tho reoep-
ton by the Speaker Of committee of the
church which visited him last May seeking
his support for the Littlefeld interstate
liquor shipment bill. .F .r.
Tho Rev. John R. sumwalt, presiding
elder OF. tho Methodlst Episcopal Church
for tho Warrington district, makes this
statement: .....
From tho reception accorded TO tho
committee Of the General Conference Of
tho Methodist Episcopal Church BY Speaker
Cannon and the discussion he entered upon
at that time most Of US Methodists have
come to look upon the Speaker as the
special pleader for the liquor interests
and the one man whose influence has been
successfully used to thwart the will Of the
ma jority Of the people. which We believe 10
that the States should be protected by the
national Government In efforts to settle
moral issues according TO their desires.
we are somewhat Of the opinion also
that the reception accorded the committee
was not such % the character Of the men
who composed It and the church It repre-
sented deserved I...

Quoting its campaign through the agency
OF q missionary sooiety, with authority

matters.
The shipment bill pending In Congress
provides that liquor shipnents from one
State TO another State Immediately upon
crossing the boundary line become subject
10 the laws Of the State to viii oh they are
consigned. Discussing Its provisions and
approving them, the board OF manage
ment has ISSUED an oficial address In which
sThe Speaker Of the national House Of
Representatives absolutely controls Its
procedure. He IL opposed to this legela-
ton. He has used the power OF bis ONCE
TO hold II In the Judiciary committee APP
pointed by him on the alleged ground that
II is Unconstitutional. Our church by
action Of the recent General Conference
insists that Congressional doubt as TO the
constitutionality OF such legislation be
resolved In the interest Of the people and
the public morals.
AT least one member OF the House
judiciary Committee has been defeated
for the nomination on his record on this
question. and we believe that the time has
come when our people who want help to
secure such legislation must support Tor
Congress candidates who will not only
vote for this measure II they get chance
but will themselves support for Speaker
q man who will allow 1t to be voted on.
