Ballotting and reporting ineffectuai
ballots for bishops has consumed
much of the time and absorbed much
of the interest of the delegates to the
Methodist Episcopal general CONFER
ence. No choice was reported as the
result of the fifth, sixth and seventh
ballots and the eighth was taken ahu
was in the hands of the tellers with
instructions to them to report the re-
suit to the conference this morning
when adjournment was taken last
night.
Perhaps the most notable showing
of the ballots was the rapid advance
in the standing of Rev. H. c. Stuntz
from 1875 votes and eleventh place on
the fourth ballot to third place with
l427 votes on the seventh ballot
Rev. w. A. Quayle of Chicago ad-
vanced to second place with $50 votes.
A report to the conference unani-
| mously adopted by the committee on
the state of the church embodies a
| lengthy statement setting forth the at
tit,de of the church to the labor1ng
classes 1t declares for equal rights
and privileges for all people IN al
stations of life, for the abolition OF
child labor, for the suppression OF
sweat shops for the highest wages en-
ployers can possible afford, Tor the
nroyision of healthful environment
and sanitary arrangements wherever
| women are employed, and for otner
things calculated to improve the con-
ditions of people who labor.

will recommend the election of a mis-
sionary bishop for Mexico and IN the
event of the recommendation peine

Rev. M. c. B. Mason's withdrawal
from the race for a bishopric has not

that they should have colored b1shop
and they are reported to have deter

sionary bishop I. B. Scott of Liberia
upon whom they will make every er-

honors.

Norton Albaugh's Comment on
Senator Long Article.
Says Latter Had No Warmer
Friend Than White.
RECORD IN CONGRESS
Both Mr.. BrIstew and Emporia
Editor Approved 1t.
Many Points Threshed Ont
Long Ago.

The following is from Morton AL
baugh's Kingman Leader-Courier:
William Allen Whites article at
lacking Senator Longs congressional
record will have no weight with
thinking men, and most Kansas
voters do their own thinking. About
half of it is devoted to Mr.. Longs
career in the lower house. While he
was making that record he had no
warmer supporter than Mr.. White.
All during the years he was in the
house Mr.. White could find naught
but praise for him. And it is well
known to people active in Kansas
politics that after this record had
been made, White . claimed great
credit in 1908 for the part he took
in carrying the Stanley forces to
Long in the senatorial contest Of that
year.
1T can hardly be possible that
Bristow is party to this attack but
until he disavows it, there are many
who will believe he is. Bristow was
in Washington all during those years.
he knew what was going on and yet
after all Mr.. Longs record In the
lower house had been made, he was
his cordial supporter for the senate.
If these votes of Mr.. Long quoted by
Mr.. White were wrong Mr. Bristow
knew 1t then, and yet by his every
action approved them.
1T is strange how unfair some peo-
pie can be under the guise of re-
form. But little over a year ago both
Mr.. Bristow and Mr. White were ar
guing with friends of Senator Long
that they ought to elect Mr. Bristow
senator then in order to help Mr..
Long this year. Largely on that ar
gument they got the help of w. Y.
Morgan, J. s. Simmons and. other
Seventh district members. They had
nothing then to urge against Mr..
Longs record. The only fault they
found with him was that he wouldn't
help Bristow to the senate then.
I'm fact 1t has been less than three
months now since both Mr.. Bristow
| and Mr.. White assured the writer
hereof personally that If Mr.. Stubs
backed into the senatorial race. which
| he was threatening to do, that they
| would not support him as against Mr..
| Long, and Mr.. Stubs is something of
a reformer himself.
MANY of the matters to which Mr.,
White calls attention were threshed
out in the old Seventh district fights
eight, ten and a dozen years ago
when Mr.. Long was running against
Jerry Simpson. The people passed on
| them and expressed approval of his
| course. Others during his senatorial
| career were acts carrying out the
| policies of President Roosevelt and
/ have had his earnest commentator
Others the writer knows naugh
| about. but more than the word of Mr.
White will be needed to convince AM
Il great number of Kansas people tina
Mr.. Long has not had the best inter
ests OF the people of Kansas rather
than the wishes Of Wall street a
} heart during his congressional
career"
