"SKY DEVILS" LIBERTY JULY 3 4 Bishop Cannon Jr. Amazed At Actions At Bourbon Caucus CHICAGO, June 30 () Bishop James t Cannon Jr., thOv. Southern Methodist churchman who led a mlJlV tant fight against Alfred E. Smith In 1928, said today the commendation by Senator Walsh, of Montana, last night on the conduct of the convention, floor during the prohibition debate was "the most amazing I ever heard In a political convention.? ' "Tho conduct in the convention was most reprehensible," the Bishop said. "It Indicated very clearly that repeal supporters did not believe In fair play. I see no other way to In terpret the behavior." . Bishop Cannon said newspapers were hurled at htm several times, but he added they might not have been directed at hlmi personally. He said he did not know who had thrown them and that others who did not stand during the demonstrations might have had similar experiences. The churchman declined to com ment on the prohibition plank Itself, but said In all probability he would have a statement later, . ERROR CORRECTED CHICAGO, June 30 (JP) The As sociated Press corrects a statement made June 25 to the effect that Bishop James Cannon Jr., Southern Methodist bishop, appealed to the Democratic resolutions committee for a declaration In favor of prohibition In the party platform. The story should have stated the veteran dry leader urged a law en forcement plank and asked that pro hibition not be made a party Issue" or the subject of the plank In tho Demo cratic platform. Bishop Cannon today said this had always been his position and that he had opposed declarations for prohi bition as well as declarations against Drohibltion In party platforms. The Associated Press Is glad to I make- this correction.
