By the Associated Press. MONTGOMERY, Ala., November 21. —Southern Methiodists of the Alabama Conference yesterday heard a call from Bishop W. N. Ainsworth for a state- ment of ' position on prohibition by Southern political leaders. At the same time, it was learned, ministers and lay leaders of the church are being asked to contribute funds to defend Bishop James Cannon, jr., against charges of violating the cor- Tupt practices act in the 1928 presi- deniial campaign, Last Monday Bishop Warren A. Can- dler warned preachers of the South Cerolina Conference to “stick to- their jobs and leave politics alone.” Party Politics Disavowed. -~ Bishop Ainsworth told the Alabama Conference unity of Southern leader- ship ceuld “save the Nation for so- briety.” He said the church was not concerned with party politics, but added it did not mean to surrender the ground gained in prohibition. “We want a statesmanship in the South,” he said, “that will not truckle before the lash of any leader whose purpose in politics is to relleve the country of what he is pleased to call éh? damnable affliction of prohibi- He said opponents of prohibition are “now maneuvering for a strategic po- sition in politics with the church fore- warned to keep out. “One of the first lines of attack,” he sald, “is to intimidate and browbeat the preachers and churches of the country irto silence. * * * Nothing ould s0 please these politicians as to see the church busied about mansions in the skies and leiting the White House alone next year.” He asked if Southern politicians would present a solid prohibition front “or betray us.” Appeals Received in Mails, First public notice of the appeal on behalf of Bishop Cannon came from Montgomery residents, who received letters esking for money. Later Charles A. Warden, a Presbyterian investment broker of Washington, said he had been appointed treasurer of the fund sponsored by friends of the bishop. The letters were signed by George P. Adams. Blackstone, Va.; Lucius Greg- ory, Chase City, Va.; A. C. Garnett, jr. Buckingham, Va.' and Bennett T. Taylor and Geoige G. Wilkinson, Prospect, Va. The communications asked for monay “to help defray the expenses necessary to employ competert counsel and to meet charges in the trial * * * and to assist in meeting similar attacks upon him (Bishop Cannon) to destroy his influence as a prohibition worker.” Warden declined to say how much had been collected, but said the re- sponse had been “cordial.” Bishop Candler, in closing the South Carolina Conference at Sumter on Monday. told the preachers: “I have never known a single vote to be changed by a preacher’s talking and often the church is harmed by a min- ister meddling in politics.” ARMY ORDERS Maj.
