The Rev. Rembert q. Smith, South

disclosed charges he had made
against four bishops of the church be-
cause Of "unwarranted political &C.
tivities in 1928. He charged Bishop
James Cannon. Jr., Edwin D. Mouzon

for Roman Catholic citizens In line
with the Constitution Of the United
States. He added Bishop H. M. Du-
bose to the list in making charges Of
political activity in their capacity as
bishops but outside the scope Of their
rights and duties as such. He charged
that Bishop Cannon during the 1928
presidential campaign worked on an
expense account paid by northern
Republicans"
