 Asserting that he did borrow s4,- 900 to purchase 625 barrels of flour for Blackstone College, of which he was president, shortly after the United States entered the war, Can- non explained he disposed of it in IS days after he had been assured protection against food profiteers would be given public institutions.
 Cannon reaffirmed a previous ex- .planation of his expenditure of mon- ey belonging to the Methodist Board of Teml erance and Social Service to send out announcements of the Asheville dry conference These funds, he said. were borrowed by him as an idividual from the board treasurer and were repaid shortly afterward.
 Bishop Answers Criticism
 The bishop replied to criticisms of his patriotism by stating three of his sons fought for. the United States during the World war and daughter served under >the Y. M. C. A., while he himself preached to the soldiers on the battle front.
 The dry leader quoted the Balti- more Southern Methodist, a denomi- national organ, as saying the wet press is "out to. wipe Bishop Cannon off the slate by fair means or foul"

 Comments On Speech
 Commenting on Chairman Ras- kob's speech at the recent party banquet in Washington. Cannon said the former General Motors fi- nancial wizard ''indulged in wild talk about a revolution in order to secure the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
 This, the churchman said, was simply the use of somewhat differ- ent words to express frantic. undy- ing opposition to prohibition, clamorous demand for personal lib- erty and the outspoken. fixed deter imitation that the wet Tammany semi-republican, semi i-democrat group which has control of the na- tional democratic organization will make that party the wet political party of the nation, regardless of southern democratic views or votes.'
 Sums Up Speech
