Rev. George E. Whitehouse be-
came local political faction in the
present municipal controversy in a
sermon yesterday on "Can Right
eousness Reign in Tacoma?"
He said it could, but not with
officials like the present. whom he
declared "out of Joint with right
eousness.
The pastor was vitrolic, rasp-
ing and belligerent and directed
his attack especially against May
or Fawcett. Not another commits
sioner was named.
The sermon has been a bomb
shell in the city and has stirred
up bitter contention among the
church voters.
Many of the latter are support
ing Mayor Fawcett because he has
placed himself on record in open
hostility to the saloon, the vice
syndicate and for the enforcement
of the law against the immoral
elements generally. This fact was
recognized by Mr.. Whitehouse.
who commented on 1t, and said:
Says People Are Weak.
There are many godly and God
fearing people in this city, but
they have no more courage and
backbone than Ahab had"
He rubbed this in, denounced
the mayor and all who favor him,
ridiculed his attempts to stop
treating in saloons and tried to
burlesQue his efforts to create SEN
timent in the community for the
anti-treating ordinance.
The sermon was radical, point
ed and remarkable one, and to-
day the city is discussing it and
taking sides In a manner that
promises at least to dispe1 any
tendency toward apathy in the
coming election.
Mr.. Whitehouse is an ultra
radical prohibitionist.
He demands that the saloon, the
brothel and all kindred institu-
tions be eliminated instanter. He
accepts no halfway measures as
a solution or a partial solution
AS an advocate of the ideal he re-
fuses to consider anything less.

Here is where the pastor clashes
in his theology with some Other
religious people of the city. They
