CAUCUS SHOULD GIVE
 PA0NESSA ADVANTAGE Ward Represented by AL derman to Have Greatest
 Number of Votes

Alderman Angelo M Paones essa should. have advantage over his op- ponent-whom it is expected will be ex- Mayor Joseph M. Halloran-at the democrat caucuses, since the sixth ward, now represented in the council by Paonessa, will have more votes than any other ward. Since the all derman has been acceptable to the voters in that district as their repre- sentative in the governing body, they having reelected him on several oc- casons, it is expected that he will be backed by the delegation from that ward.
 Under the rules governing the pro- ceedure of the democrat caucuses, each ward is allowed five delegates, with one additional delegate for each 100 democrat votes in the ward at the last election, local or state. The sixth ward, a democrat stronghold, regis tered 1922 votes for the democrats in the voting of November 2, 1920. This makes the wards representation, IT delegates. The fifth ward will be next, with 13 delegates The second ward will have but eight.
 Following is the vote by wards and the number of delegates to be sent to the city convention:
 First-447 votes, nine delegates second 333 votes, eight delegates; third--620 votes, 1 delegates; fourth -435 votes, nine delegates; fifth S10 votes, 3 delegates; sixth, 222 votes, IF delegates.
 The fifth ward, which will be sec ond in the number of delegates, is the district represented for a number of years by Mir. Halloran. It was while he was living in that ward that he was elected mayor for the first time.
 Announcement of Mir Halloran's candidacy for mayor is expected to- morrow.

 Sensational Preaching CONDEMNS "PUSSYFo07ING"

Says There's No Use Trying to Heal
 the Cancer of Sin With Soothing
 Syrup'--Says Saints Were Scnsa-
 tionalists.
 New York, March l4.--In. letter addressed to "dscriminatmg New Workers "Rev. John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist church to- day pleaded for the overthrow Of pulpit pussyfooting, and the adop- tion of more Sensational preaching" {"
 It was from Dr. straton's pulpit that William A. Brady. theatrical pro ducer recently defended the morals of the stage and moving picture studio in an open debate with the pastor Rev. pr. Stuart Macarthur. pastor emeritus, recently withdrew from the congregation after criticizing his sue cessor for sensationalsm.
 StratOn'S Ideas
 There Is no use in trying to heal the cancer of sin with soothing syrup" pr. Straton declared in his open let ter, and 1t is idle to sprinkle cologne water upon the putrid iniqui- ties of rebellious race"
 To counteract the appalling loose ness and rottenness of the times" he asserted, 'every real preacher must be sensationalist because religion is the most revolutionary thing ever given to earth"
 Would Speak Truth
 With ten millions of the human race rotting in untimey graves be- cause of humanitys sins and war lust, and with such a saturnalia of crime and vice and shamelessness as so- ciety has never known before surely some preachers are needed who will dare to speak the truth at any haz. ard-yes some who will cry aloud and spare not even though they are quartered in the streets and nailed to a cross.
 The clergyman declared that if il was a crime for a preacher to be a sensationalist then Amos, Elijah Daniel, Peter Paul, "and even the Divine Son of God Himself" would have been convicted as criminals ir | their day.
