 SUGGESTED AS BISHOP

In special appearing in today's Little Rock Gazette from Dermott, Ark, Rev. J. L.

Chuch, South, made vacant by the recent death of Bishop Seth Ward The Gazette dis patch says:
 ''Dermott, Sept. 29.-Rev. J. L. Can non, pastor of the Methodist Episco- pal church at Monticello and one of the most prominent members of the Little Rock conference, passed through here yesterday from Conway, where he had preached the opening sermon for Hendrix college. Tn an interview Mir. Cannon expressed him self as believing that the conferences of Arkansas would make strong eff fort to have an Arkansas man elected as one of the bishops at the next gen eral conference to be held next year. He added that he thought Rev Stone wall Anderson, president of Hendrix college, or Rev. T. E. Sharp, pastor of First church, Little Rock, would be the most available men to put forth for the bishoprc.
 "As an Arkansan has never been elevated to this position and as the state has such strong men in that church, leading Methodists in this sec tion are strongly in favor of the three conferences uniting on man and pushing him for the place"
 "There is nothing to say in refer ence to the matter" said President Anderson, when his attention was called to the dispatch this morning. '1 appreciate very highly the compE- ment which Rev. Cannon has paid me in suggesting me as a possibility for so high a position in the church.
