Handled Case.
MIXED IN WITH POLITICS
Presbytery Endorsed Ono Man and
Appeal Was Taken Claiming Il
Could Only Endorse
An lsoafe.

At the meeting Of the brotherhood
of the Westminster Presbyterian
church, held last evening at the hor1e
OF ~. I. Wilcox, Dr.. e. 3. NeWconb,
moderator Of the judicial commission
OF the lowe synod, told Of the action
OF this commission in reversing the
action of the presbytery Of Des
Mo1nes which endorsed =. T. Mere
dith for governor. The judicial COM
mission held that while the presby-
terry could endorse an issue or a
principle. II had exceeded its author
ity in endorsing the agent Of the
issue or principle. An appeal has
been taken to the general assembly
OF the church next May.
The Des Moines presbytery, DR..
Newcomb said, has passed a resolu-
ton endorsing Meredith as the dry
candidate for governor. and condemn
ing w. L. Harding. A member OF the
presbytery from Abba claimed that
the presbytery had exceeded its
power in this and he appealed to the
meeting Of the synod. He held the
presbytery should deal with ecclesias-
tical things and not matters of state.
The synod appointed judicial COM
mission composed Of seven ministers
and five elders to look into this and
to pass judgment. The commission
had for its moderator DR.. e. B. New
comb OF the Westminster church
here.
The commission heard the evidence
and the law In the matter and ruled
that the presbytery had exceeded its
authority granted under the laws OF
the church. it is possible to endorse
an issue or a principle, but an excess
Of authority to endorse any one per.
son representing that principle or
issue, or supposed to be SO repre-
senting it. There was no review Of
the decision by the synod, but an
appeal was taken to the general
assembly, which will decide the issue
in May. It is generally believed the
assembly will uphold tho judicial
commissions action.
There were about nfty members Of
the brotherhood present last evening.
There was musical program and
refreshments were served.
