The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1914-03-07

Rev. DIR. James Cannon, Jr., super
intendant OF the Anti-Saloon League
of Virginia. was greatly surprised to
read stories In both OF the ate noon
papers CT yesterday to the effect that
he HAD beer. asked to leave the floor
Of the house of dele gates Thursday
afternoon. So was the sergeant-at-
arms ef the rouse.
These two men ought to have
known something about the very In
feresting episode reported. but they
did not In fact. they could not be-
cause 1t did not occur.
DR.. Cannon's attention was called
last night to the publications in the
afternoon papers. He had Just ad-
dressed a letter to both OF them on
the subject
He made the following statement for
publication In the virginian concern
ing the matter:
Il was greatly surprised when !
saw in the evening newspapers OF
today that had been asked to leave
the floor OF the house OF delegates on
Thursday afternoon. and that actual
iy did leave the floor of the house be-
cause was asked to do so. for I did
nothing OF the sort.
II is Difficult. to understand how
these newspapers could have made
such an error. l have had the
privileges of the floor both IN the SEN
ate and the house of delegates for
many years. have been ed..or OF
the Christian Advocate for ten ycs-s
and special correspondent OF The
T. edmond V'rginian for four years.
T fIgz sc: VA n Alarms "f both hauses
snow that have the PRIVILEGES II the
fioor and have never intimatei 20 ne
anyihins TO the contrary l have as
much right to the privileges OF the
floor OF the house, as the men who
reported this incorrect story for their
papers. and 1t Is very remarkable
that they should be ignorant of that
fact. When Delegate Gregory sug-
those not entitled to the hoor, If he
had me in mind. as 1t appears that
he did, 1t was because he was in
ignorance of the fact that / am en-
tilted to the privileges OF the floor.
But when Speaker Cox directed the
sergeant-at-arms to lear the house
~ those not entitled to the Il ,or he
cou!'. not have referred 10 me. be.
cause he knew that ! had a signed
permit from him giving to me the
privileges Of the floor.
Likewise, when the sergeant at arms
called upon all persons to leave the
house who were not entitled to the
privilege OF the floor he could not
have referred to me. because he knew
that was entitled to the privileges
of the floor.
Whatever may have been the in-
tention OF Delegate Gregory. It was
entirely lost upon me as / did not
hear either the call of the speaker or
the call OF the sergeant-at-arm that
all persons should leave the house not
entitled to the privileges OF the floor.
If ! happened to leave the house at
about that time. It was coincidence
and nothing more. l had finished what
I came in the house to attend to. and
