IT OVER

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Somehow
it has leaked out that Army

to keep it a secret.

gone SO far as TO discourage pros

CANNON SEES DRY
ISSUE REAROUSED.
Bishop Says Smith viii Not
Be Accepted by Six States
in South.

The political pronouncement of AL
fred E. Smith has made prohibition
once more an outstanding issue in the
national political campaign, in the
opinion of Bishop James Cannon, jr.,
leader of the opposition to Smith IN
the South in 1928.
The text of the Southern Methodist
bishops statement follows
Gov Smith evidently believes that
he can secure the support of all those
who voted for him in 1928 and sufficient
added support in the South and North
east to change the overwhelming defeat
Of 1928 into at least a small majority in
1882. He therefore greatly, most ar
oeptly desires the nomination and has
adopted the very best method to secure
it under existing conditions.
Il believe he is utterly mistaken if he
thinks that the six Southern States
which repudiated his wet Tammany
leadership in 1923 will accept that
leadership in 1882 If the issue be-
comes once more moral principles and
leadership versus party regularity-the
maintenance or repeal of the eight
eenth amendment-the same people
will be found in 1882 as in 1928 bat
Ting for moral principles and the
eighteenth amendment against wet
Tammany partisan regularity
Gov. Smiths statement has regret
ably but necessarily made prohibition
to be once more an outstanding issue
in the national political campaign.
1T is devoutedly to be desired. but
hardly to be expected. that the Demo-
cratic party leaders will refuse to yield
to the evidently irrepressible longing of
the wet Tammany sachem to remain
the titular head of the Democratic
party.
will dry Southern Democratic party
leaders again fail the Southern people
as they did in 1928. or will they fatty
refuse to follow this wet Tammany
leader to another disgraceful defeat?"
