Cannon Working
For Republicans
Jessuj), La., Oct. 28.? Mayor James
I, Key, of Atlanta, charged in a
political speech here last night that
the Republican administration virtually
took "possession" of the Methodist
ecumenical conference in Atlanta
last week "with the idea of
securing the church's support on a
prohibition platform."
Addressing a Roosevelt-for-President
( luh, he said he had been "a
member ot the' Methodist church for
52 years since 1 was a small child,"
and 1 protest against its being used
to foster the affairs of the Republican
party. There was held in my
city last week a great ecumenical
conference. The Republican administration
virtually took possession of
it. President Hoover and Vice-President
Curtis and Cabinet Member
Hyde all addressed the conference
with the idea of securing the church's |
support on a prohibition platform."1
The Methodist church, Mayor Key !
added, "is being manipulated by
smart, shrewd guys who want to I
throw it into the hands of the Re- '
publican party."
The mayor criticized Bishop .Jas. j
Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist Kpis- 1
copal Church, South, and charged
him with "leading the church into j
the much and mire of politics." He
said that the church "should take a
stand against him."
Governor Franklin I). Roosevelt, of
New York, was described by Mayor
Key as having "every quality which
makes him a strong man for the
presidency of the United States.
-The club endorsed- Mayor-Key for
vice president on the Democraticticket.
