Bishop James Cannon, jr. of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, is- sued a statement yesterday in which Ne asserted that Democratic charg:s of religious intolerance were not made in good faith, but were voiced for the purpose of arousing that same intol- erance in Gov. Smith’s behalf. “This charge of intolerance,” he said, s in reality a smoke screen intended | not. only to obscure and becloud prohi- | bition and Tammany, real issues in the campaign, but to arouse in Gov. Smith's Dbehalf the very religious intolerance his supporters are publicly denouncing so vigorousl Bishop Cannon's statement consisted | largely of quotations from editorials in | the October issue of the Missionary, which is published here as the official | organ of the Catholic Missionary Union, of which Cardinal Hays is presiden’. and the October 4 issue of the Catholic Union and Times, official paper of the diocese of Buffalo, N. Y. Editor Make: tement. Rev. Lewis J. O'Hern, editor of the Missionary. said when shown the Can- non statement that the editorial i1 question, which was written in his ab- o ®ence, expressed the individral writer's views, had no official value and was not a pronouncement of the Cathoiic Union or any of its officials. ! The Cannon statement was sent out generally through the mailing facilities | of the Anti-Saloon League, but the league's office manager said it was in no way a league document and shoula be considered wholly as an_utterance of the bishop, who has an office in the same building. William P. Helm, press agent for Col. Horace A. Mann, who is in charge of | the Southern campaign for Herbert | Hoover, was instrumental in distributing | the statement, saying that the bishop | had asked him to see to it. The Re- publican national committee, which works independently of Col. Mann, dis- claimed any knowledge of, or responsi- bility for, the statement Quotation From Cathelic Union. The bishop quoted in his statement the following excerpt. from the Catholic | Union and Times: | “The Protestant Church in the United States has existed upon the unestab- | lished fact that this is a Protestant country. It has clung to the fallacy | R o st CELANESE has hoodwinked its members into be- lieving it, and it has bellowed the state- ment so foud that many Catholics have accepted in without proof. Were a Catholic elected tomorrow, the drowning man in the person of the Protestant Church would quickly sink from view The straw at which he has grasped as an anchor would disappear with him. The remnants of Calvinism, Lutherism. Wesleyan teachings and Episcopalianism would die as their sects are disintegrat- ing from division, discord and dissen-| sion.” Bishop Cannon remarked in the state- ment that “along with other Demo- crats who are opposing the election of Gov. Smith on the ground of his Tam- many origin, affiliation and control. and * his open, vigorous and persistent attack on the eighteenth amendment.” he had been accused by Democratic leaders of | using prohibition as a cloak for bigotry. Among these leaders he named John J Raskob. chairman of the Democratic national committee: Senator Joe Robin- son. Democratic candidate for Vice President, and John W. Davis, Demo- cratic presidential candidate four years ago. “And now," he said, “at the very time when Smith, Robinson. Raskob, Davis | and the Smith press are circulating sweeping charges that intolerant Prot- estant bigots, especially in the South. are making religlous appeals against Smith, T have before me incontrovertible evidence of the use being made of re- ligious appeals in behalf of Gov. Smith, not by isolated individuals. but by of- ficial organs of the Roman Catholic Church, which Gov. Smith’s opponents are charged with making an isue in this campaign.” EDITOR ANSWERS CHARGE. Rev. E. J. Ferger Denies Catholics Are Stirring Up lssue. BUFFALO. N. Y. October 20 (). — Rev. Edward J. Ferger, editor and man- ager of the Catholic Union and Time: which was quoted in the statement given out last night by Bishop James Cannon, jr., at Washington, answered that state- ment last night with a denial that t Catholic Church was attempting to stir up intolerance. To the contrary. he as- serted, “it is trying to blot it out.” “The portion of the editorial which he (Bishop Cannon) quotes recently ap- peared in the columns of the Catholic Union and Times,” said Father Ferger, “and we here reiterate the truth of its contests, Will Bishop Cannon deny that the Protestant church looks upon the United States as a Protestant country? Wwill he deny that one bishop and many ninisters as well as thousands of Metho- dist laymen deplore the intrusion of re- | ion in politics? The Catholic Church * * = knows that the intelligence of the country understands that the moment a denomination enters the field of poli- | tics. such action causes Intolerance be- cause of the wide divergence of re- ligious views among the sects of Chris- tianity.” Asserting that “every effort in the past to stir up bigotry took its source in the Protestant Church,” Father Ferger di publish could even widen the great gulf | that has resulted from Bishop Cannon'’s | Southern political activities.” | CARDINAL WILL NOT REPLY. | Prelates’ Aides Declare They Had Not | Read Editorials Quoted. i NEW YORK, October 19 (#).—Cardi- | nal Hayes was out of the city today. | but his associates at St. Patrick's | Cathedral announced for him that no | reply would be made to the statement | of Bishop James Cannon, jr, that| Catholic_publications were advocating | election of Gov. Smith on the basis of his Catholicism. { Mar. Michael J. Lavelle and Mer. J. | F. A. McIntyre, respectively, rector of | the cathedral and assistant secretary to the cardinal, said they had not seen | the editorials in question and on in- juiry were told that the publications | did not happen to be on file in the | church department for the propogation | of the faith. | They determined by telephone that | Rev. Henry Riley, pastor of the Paulist | Church, had a copy of the Mission- | | ary and asked him to furnish it to a | reporter so that the full text might be | compared wich the quotations in Bishop | Cannon’s statement. When a_comparison was made it was found that the quotations were,correct, but some church officials asserled that | they were not entirely just, 4n that they ran together sentences from vari | ous parts of the editorial without indi- | cating that there had originally been other matter between .them. | For instance there was found to be some 200 words of printed matter be-| iween Bishop Cannon's quotation “each | detail of the current struggle fits into ! the gospel with astonishing precision.” | | and his quotation “with this in view | is it any wonder that all Catholic lovers | | of Christ are feverishly praying for Gov. | | Smith's success?” ! The church officials said that plainly | the “this” in the phrase “with this in} view,” did not refer to the previous| sentence as quoted but to an inter-| vening paragraph which stated that for “a plain, simple man to live the Catho- | lic life frankly. fearlessly, and loyally. in the full glare of the publicity which | beats on the presidency, is exactly what | | & man most needs to teach its high-! | speed, shallow mind the truth by which | Christ_undertakes to_set men_free.” = > 'S pecializing Draperies Slip Covers Window Shades | WE mould be pleased | Y t0 send ome of our | decorators to submit | samples, estimates and offer suggestions.
