Continued From First Paseo

retired in 1898 as bishop Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
having served since May, 1918. After
the church unification In 1880 he
had the status of . retired bishop
Of the Methodist church.
Since then his principal activities
have been with the Federal Council
of Churches, In behalf Of various
peace organizations and In the
Anti-Saloon League.
Mrs. Cannon, visiting in Port
Clinton, Ohio, was notified and was
en- route here. Arrangements for
the funeral will be made after her

Bishop q Storm Center.
Political and ecclesiastical storms
beat down on Bishop Cannon as on
no other prominent churchmen OF
his time. After the 1928 election he
found himself assailed from within
and without the Church.
During the campaign he was ac-
cused of opposing Alfred E. Smith
because the latter was Roman
Catholic Senator Carter Glass,
Democrat, of Virginia called Bishop
Cannon "the Methodist pope" The
appellation was kept alive in the
ensuing national election and the
Virginia gubernatorial election.
The bishop met charge with coun-
tercharge. He contended his long
fight on liquor was the real basis
for his opposition to Mr.. Smith.
Bad health and attacks of neuritis
which led to his use Of crutches
did not lessen the fervor Of his
replies. He singled out especially
John J. Raskob, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, re-
iterating that Mr.. Raskob and Tam
many Hall were attempting to make
the Democratic party handmaiden
of the liquor interests.
Personal Record Scrutinized.
Bishop Cannon's personal record
was under scrutiny. The fact that
he had bought stocks through q New
York brokerage house, which later
was bankrupt, became known. His
foes charged him with "gamblingS
The cry, raised during the cam
paign, that he was putting the
church into politics continued. An
increasing interest became evident
in the disposition of the $65, 800 he
received from E. c. Jameson, New
York capitalist. to use against Mr..
Smith in Virginia in 1928.
Bishop Cannon was called before
a general conference of his church
in Dallas in May, 1880, to answer ac-
cusations centering about his po-
litical activity and stock market
dealings. He was exonerated after
he had faced the conference and,
with tears in his eyes, confessed he
had made a mistake in his stock
market venture and promised not to
do 1t again.
Defied Lobby Committee.
/ But there was no rest for him. Re-
turning to Washington, he was
called before the Senate Lobby Com
mittee and questioned about the
money he spent in Virginia. He de-
fed the committee, The question:

the door but the bishop had departed
and committee members literally
were left talking to themselves.
Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, a committee member, arrived
late that day and he joined in the
laughter which followed as he looked
questioningly at the empty witness
chair.
The bishops latter years were
quiet compared to the tempestous
life he lived In the 1920s and early
1930s. In 1910, he came briefly to
the attention Of newspaper readers
again when he wrote an open letter
to Secretary of State Hull urging
that he use his great personal in
fluence with President Roosevelt
and Congress to declare war against
Hitler and his fellow monsters"
Demanded U. S. Aid Oppressed.
He also urged before the Emer-
gency Committee to Save the jew
ish People in Europe in 1o43 that
the United States should take
definite steps to go to the rescue of
the oppressed peoples of Europe.
Early this year he attempted to
have legislation introduced IN the
Virginia Assembly to provide for q
referendum on whether prohibition
should return to the Old Dominion.
In his work for prohibition,
Bishop Cannon attended many in
ternational conferences, including
one at Milan in 1918 and one at
Paris In 1919. In 1918 he was spe-
cial commissioner of the Anti-Sa-
loon League to Europe. He was
superintendent of the Virginia
Anti-Saloon League from 1909 to
1919. He served as chairman of the
