Efforts are being made to have Billy
! Sunday speak before the PENNSYLVANIA
Legislature in Harrisburg and the New
Jersey Legislature in Trenton In the
interest OF local option. William II.
delphia, and other leading temperance
workers in this city are trying to per-
suade "Biliy" to go to Harrisburg and
throw some hot shot into the camp Of
the liquor interests.
without debate the New Jersey House
Of Assembly adopted a resolution offered
by Assemblyman Peacock, of Burlington
County, last night requesting that Sum
day address the House next Monday aft
ernoon. A reception committee will be
appointed and II Is probable that the Sem
event Sunday will be asked to address the
bodies in joint assemblage.
Arrangements for Sundays reception at
Trenton have not yet been completed.
When asked whether he would accept
either of the invitations this morning.
Sunday said that while he was in favor
of doing everything possible to help
drive the demon rum" out of the land
he would not go to either place unless
the call was most urgent and unless II
were to preach one of his anti-booze
sermons. Under certain conditions, how
ever, he lntlmnted that he might be per-
suaded to go before the lawmakers and
give them his opinion of the booze"
business.
II never mix up in politics and do not
intend to do So" the evangelist said. II
would never consent to speak in Harris
burg or Trenton to either Legislatures II
were expected to aid or oppose any
political crowd or party. l don't trot that
way. My work Is to preach the Gospel
and to work against the liquor evil and
other sins, but I'll not go anywhere to
speak to please politicians
From Harrisburg comes the information
that liquor lobbyists are circulating
stories that Sunday will be there to ad-
dress the LEGISLATURE at public hearing
Governor Brumbaugh and other local op-
tionsts say they know nothing definite
about it, They have not extended Billy"
a formal invitation to speak, and, If they
do So it will be after they have set def
mite date for public hearing.
Tonight Sunday will repeat his discourse
on Doctor JeltYl and Mr.. Hyde"

Rudman. a friend, this morning, from
Charleston w. Va, with the inclosure
of letter written by Hugh Mcmillan !
for a dozen men, who. with him, were
entombed in the Layland mine, in which |
they said that "while expecting death at |
any moment, we are on our knees pray |
ing to God to save us, and thanking |
Him that Billy Sunday has led us to |
find Jesus Christ May God bless him |
in his great work Is our earnest prayer"

rescued while unconscious from the gas
