Bishop Cannon remarked in the state
ment that "along with other Demo-
Gratis who are opposing the election of
Gov. Smith on the ground of his Tam
many origin. affiliation and control. and
his open. vigorous and persistent attack
on the eighteenth amendment" he had
been accused by Democratic leaders of
using prohibition as cloak for bigotry.
Among these leaders he named John j.
Raskob. chairman of the Democratic
national committee: Senator Joe Robin
son. Democratic candidate for Vice
President, and John w. Davis. Demo-
cratic presidential candidate four years
ago
And now" he said, "at the very time
when Smith, Robinson. Raskob. Davis
and the Smith press are circulating
sweeping charges that intolerant Prot
estant bigots, especially in the South,
are making religious appeals against
Smith, 1 have before me incontrovertible
evidence of the use being made of re-
ligious appeals in behalf of Gov. Smith,
not by isolated individuals but by Of
fetal organs of the Roman Catholic
Church, which Gov. Smiths opponents
are charged with making an isue in this
campaign"

but his associates at St. Patrick's
Cathedral announced for him that no
reply would be made to the statement
of Bishop James Cannon, Jr.. that
Catholic publications were advocating

the editorials in question and on IN

They determined by telephone that
Rev. Henry Riley. pastor OF the Paulist
Church. had a copy of the MISSION
airy and asked him to furnish it to
reporter so that the full text might be
compared with the quotations in Blsnop
Cannon's statement.
When a comparison was made 1t was
found that the quotations were correct,
but some church officials asserted that
they were not entirely just. sin that
they ran together sentences from varl-
Gus parts of the editorial without lndi-
eating that there had originally been
other matter between them.
For instance there was found to be
some 200 words of printed matter be-
tween Bishop Cannon's quotation each
detail of the current struggle fits into
the gospel with astonishing precision
and his quotation with this in view
is it any wonder that all Catholic lovers
of Christ are feverishly praying for Gov
Smiths success?"
The church officials said that plainly
the this" in the phrase with this in
view" did not refer to the previous
sentence as quoted but to an inter-
vening paragraph which stated that for
"a plain, simple man to live the Catho-
lie life frankly fearlessly, and Loyalty.

BISHOP DENOUNCES
B|GOTRY CHARGES
Cannon Declares Religious
Issue Is Being Raised to
Aid Smith Candidacy.

Bishop James Cannon, jr.. of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. is
s,:ed a statement yesterday in which
ne asserted that Democratic charges
of religious intolerance were not made
in good faith, but were voiced for the
purpose of arousing that same intol-
serance in Gov. Smiths behalf.
This charge of intolerance" he said.
sis in reality a smoke screen intended
not only to obscure and becloud prohi-
bition and Tammany, real issues in the
campaign. but to arouse in Gov. Smiths
behalf the very religious intolerance his
supporters are publicly denouncing so
vigorously"
Bishop Cannon's statement consisted
largely of quotations from editorials in
the October issue of the Missionary
which is published here as the Official
organ of the Catholic Missionary Union.
of which Cardinal Hays is presiden-
and the October 4 issue of the Catholic
Union and Times official paper of the
diocese of Buffalo. N. Y

Rev. Lewis j. OHern. editor of the

non statement that the editorial II
question. which was written in his ao-
sence. expressed the individual writer's
views had no official value and was
not a pronouncement of the CathoGc
Union or any of its officials.
The Cannon statement was sent out
generally through the mailing facilities
of the Anti-Saloon League, but the
leagues Office manager said it was in
no way a league document and should
be considered wholly as an utterlnce
of the bishop, who has an Office in the
same building
William p Helm, press agent for Col.
Horace A. Mann. who is in charge of
the Southern campaign for Herbert
, Hoover, was instrumental in distributing
the statement. saying that the bishop
had asked him to see to it. The Re-
publican national committee. which
works independently of Col. Mann, dis
claimed any knowledge of, or response
bility for, the statement.
Quotation From Catholic Union.

Will he deny that one bishop and many

We made Wills creek early on the

find none of the army there except
Rutherford's and Ciark's Independent
companies on foot, ordered to the

The three companies had wintered
on the creek In huts and were mighty
weary of the monotOny Of 1t all. We
were quickly surrounded by an eager
mob and piled with questions as to
Braddoek's whereabouts, when he
would arrive. and how large an army
he would bring. Had the French al
ready abandoned Duquesne. as had
been reported by some of the Della
