Agrees Libel Suit is
 Not a Methodist Fight

you owe it to Millar, Anderson x Co. land the temperance people of Arkansas, to appear against me in the court as a witness. say l did not do as charged. I say I never voted to license saloons at any time and that did not vote to do so at the last election. l cast my vote for election commissioners as the statues direct, and stand pat on this declaration. I say that I stand alone in this suit against the publishers of the Western Metbs odist and that the Enemy" as you term some invisible force, is not "harassing them in every way possible. :" If they need your help to collect funds to pay those law yers to defend them (who volun- teered to serve them free of charge, as has been proclaimed to the world) have no objections, but do not place it upon the ground that I have brought suit against the Methodist church, or any other church. l would not do so upon any ground.
 My mother died in the Metho- dist faith, so did my oldest sister, and my youngest sister today is as grand and pure and true a member of the Methodist church, south, as either of the able editors of the Western Methodist, whose friends l have always been, and never was more shocked than when 1 read from week to week the things they said about me at the close of the last warm campaign, because in the appointment of election commissioners l had exercised the legal privileges and rights of a member of the state board of cleo ton commissioners and in a few instances had not followed their views. 1 was the moresurprised from the fact that I had been lined up with the Western Methodist in supporting the man for governor who from their point of view was acceptable to the extreme pro- hibition wing of the Democratic party, and had rejoiced with them over his election.
 You also say, And other papers say things similar to what the Western Methodist said" l did net think any other religious paper in the state had said such things. am sure I did not see them in the Baptist Advance. I did not think there was another paper in the state that would or did traduce me in such an unchristian spirit.
 Please publish this and oblige,
 Yours truly,

 Little Rock, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 have just noticed in the Con- way Log Cabin an extract from the Baptist Advance editorial columns in which you urge the people re- eardless of denominational lines to contribute money to enable Millar, Anderson & Go. to defend the suit for libel brought against them as owners of the Western Methodist. You say, This is not a Methodist fight, but one that belongs to us all. :" You are right in saying it is not Methodist fight and the Methodist church is not being sued for libel. The charges brought against me of having sold out to the liquor interests were made by Millar, Anderson & Go owners and publishers of the Western Methodist. The Methodist church of Arkansas, f)r which l have had the highest esteem and respect, for the reason that many ot my own family are Methodists, has Ut tered no statements of llbelous nature against me, nor have ac- cused them of doing so. l do not hold the church responsible for the allegations of paper owned by several individuals, nor have l at tempted to do So, so why should 1t be Methodist fght' l would suffer my right arm to be severed from my body before l would say anything offensive against any good religious body of men, so why attempt to make this personal suit against individuals appear before the public as suit in which all religious bodies should rush to the support of these individuals, who have sought by their statements to do me harm politically, soca ly and financially? If you really know wherein l have done the things of which l was accused,
