Tor the State Senate
The association, composed of about
80 pastors of Evangelical Protestant
congregations, from whose ranks
are selected clergymen to offer
daily prayers in the Legislature
unanimously adopted a resolution
taking this stand after a meeting
to discuss the removal of the Rev.
A. L. Eddy's name from the list.
The Rev. Mr.. Eddy's name was
taken from the eligible list by the
Senate chief clerk last week after
an opening prayer brought criticism
from Senator Harry Bolens, Port
washington Democrat. The Ply
mouth Congregational pastor had
invoked the wrath of God upon all
betrayers of the people. who seek to
corrupt public officials, and little
men in large places who stoop to
canny ShreWdneSS to thWart peo-
pies will and reduce the business
of public affairs to mistrust and mis-
contempt"
The Rev. Mr., Eddy told the asso-
citation he would give the opening
prayer again if asked, but would
count it no privation" if not invited.

crees must refile their petitions and
