BALTIMORE. Md.. Aug. 12. - The
Methodist Episcopal Church has begun an
active crusade for the election of a
Speaker of the House of Representatives
"who will allow Congress to vote the
Interstate liquor shipment hill." The
church which has over 3.0UO.00O communi

with authority to represent the denomi
nation In all temperance matters. This
society is managed by a board composed
of a bishop and 15 members named by
the bishop and elected by the late gen

The -shipment hills," which have been
pending in Congress for at least five
years, do not seek to impost prohibition

Governor Hughes. So far as I know, the
Fresldent favors Governor Hughes, as he
alwavs has. but he is taking no part in
the New York state situation. The Presi
dent does not wish the criticism which
has been directed against him because of
his position In reference to the nomina
tion of Judge Taft to be repeated in con
nection with the New York Governorship,
as he believes that those who are crying
death to the bosses' are also against
what they call "bossism" and otherwise
would say that he Is 'bossing' the New
York state situation."
Asked whether he thought the re-nomination
of the Governor would strengthen
the National ticket in New York, Mr.
Raines said:
"Taft dorsn't need any help."

"There has been at no time any Inten
