Really He ' THE EVENING “STAR,” WASHINGTON.”D.”U. ¥RIDXY, JUNE 71, W~ “POLTICS” BLAMED | BY BISHOP CANNON Publicity Given His Stock Transactions Held to Be Renewal of “Attack.” Bishop James Cannon, jr., militant Methodist, sees in the publication of his stock transactions a renewal of “attacks” made on him during his pre- election anti-Smith campaign and “in- spired” by his efforts to rid Southern Democracy of “Raskobism.” In a statement referring to accounts in the press of his dealings with the defunct brokerage firm of Kable & Co. of New York City, petitioners in bank- ruptcy, Bishop Cannon declared the time selected for the attacks, “during the national campaign last Fall and now at the beginning of the Virginia campaign,” is suggestive of “the real motive” underlying them. Quotes Glass Telegrams. He asked what bearing his “private| stock transactions have upon the ques- tion of the defeat or election of Alfred E. Smith, and what have they to do loday with the issue of Raskobism and Southern Democracy, or prohibition and lawlessness?” The bishop quoted telegrams regard- ing his speculations which passed be- tween him and Senator Glass of Vir- ginia and the New York Evening World during the presidential campaign. In replying to inquiries by the Senator and the newspaper as to his stock dealings, Bishop Cannon at that time attributed the agitation to “purely political” ef- forts “to destroy or weaken my oppo- sition to a wet Tammany candidate.” ‘Why, out of all the countless mil- | A lovely white kid pump, with mod- erately short vamp and high heel Glovelike in fit, $10.50 Brown and white calf sports tie, for golfers or lookers- ment, “have those in my selected for comment by Senator Glass, the New York Evening World and now other papers? “Indicates Enemy Desperation.” “The resort to mudslinging, the effort to besmirch my character and to weaken my influence by publishing to the world that I have purchased and sold' stock indicates the desperation of the enemy and deserves the contempt of all decent men and women.” Bi Cannon quoted the following telegraphic inquiry from Senator Glass on October 28 last: “For some unexplained reason affi- been placed in my to alleged stock gam- | bling on margin by you with the late firm of Kable & Co., New York City, covering a considerable period and to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars. Would you have me promptly| deny for you participation in any such transaction? I am leaving for Chatta- nooga early Monday morning.” “This suggestive, skillfully worded telegram,” the bishop said, “was, I think, properly digested and appraised and I replied promptly as follows: “Affidavits evidently sent you purely political purposes, to destroy or weaken effect of my opposition to wet Tammany candidates, Smith parties se- lecting you as mouthpiece of attack. I have bought and sold stock and bonds and other kinds of property for many years, making full or partial payments on same, just as other business men do, but in such transactions, so far as I knew and believed, reputable brokers and not with bucket- shops, which I understood had been for " White More of outings.
