Bishop James Cannon, jr., who led the anti-Smith Democrats in the 1928 presidential campaign, sald today on his return to Washington from Europe that he would oppose the nomination and: election of any wet Democratic candidate for President next year. Bishop Cannon predicted the defeat of the Democrats in the national elec- tion if they undertake to raise the wet issue. A dry Democratic nominee, he said, could carry the country. “william G. McAdoo,” said Bishop Cannon, “is the logical man and would make & strong candidate. Gov.- Frarklin D. Roosevelt of New York, Bishop Cannon classed s a_wet and unacceptable to the Southern drys. He thought Newton D. Baker of Ohio, former Secretary of War, might be less objectionable to the drys than Roosevelt. He added, however, that Baker dil not | quite fill the bill from the dry point of view. He pointed out that Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the General Electric Co., has not yet declared him- self a wet or a dry, but has said he was not in politics and did not feel com- pelled to answer a question as to his stand on prohibition. “If Mr. Young should announce him- self as a wet I would. of course, be opposed to him.” said Bishop Cannon. Bisirop Cannon declared himself again to be a Democrat and added: “I would like to vote for a Democrat I for President next year, but if the Democratic national convention nomi- nates a wet and the Republicans nomi- nate President Hoover, as I believe they will, T shall vote for Mr. Hoover again.” Bishop Cannon Insisted the same thing would happen in the South if the Democrats nominated a wet for Presi- dent as happened in 1928. He ex- pressed_the opinion that former Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York is anxious to tun again and will have himself nominated if he can. He also expressed the opinion that Smith would in all probability have a, gréat deal to say about the selection of the next Democratic presidential nomi- nee. He veniured the suggestion that Gov. Smith was not favorable to the nomination of Roosevelt. ‘Bishop Cannon was not ready to say | | whether he wouid appear before the Nye | Senatorial Campaign Investigating !

Roosevelt objects to a provision in the plan to make the State reimburse communities for part of all they spend in relief, declaring that no one could tell what amounts the State may be called upon to pay. Roosevelt favored appropriation of $20,000,000 by the State to supplement Ilocal appropriations. He would raise the money by increasing income taxes. Senate Passes G. O. P. Bill. !

Senator Fearon, tak- ing part in his first big legislative battle as his party’s chief, declared the Republicans “had no desire to play politics with this situation.” ROOSEVELT APPEALS TO STATE.
