TO OPPOSE MANN
FOR PRESIDENCY
Directors of American
Anti-Saloon Lleague
at Shore Plan Fight
as Convention Opens.
Lynn Haines, Secretary of Na
tional Voters' League, De
nounces Republican Floor
Leader of House as Respon
sible for Evil Parliamentary
Practices.
Bu a Staff Correspondent
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 6.-James
It. Mann, Republican floor leader .In the
National House of Representatives,' la the
big lssuo under discussion today among
delegates to tho Blxtocnth annual conven
tion of tho American Anti-Saloon League.
The Board of Directors, at tho morning
session, took up tho attack on Mann made
by Lynn Haines, secretary of tho National
Voters' League, xwho produced a letter
from E. W. Sims, former District Attor
ney of Illinois, in which Mann Is boomed
for tho Republican presidential standard
bearer for 1910.
A bitter fight against Mann will be made
by the Anti-Saloon League throughout
tho country If he becomes a presidential
candidate according to delegates, and In
Illinois If he runs again for Congress. In
tho same connection tho National Voters'
League has outlined a plan of rules re
form for which It will fight when the new
Congress Is organized.
Mann was characterized by Haines is
"the most powerful Individual in h
House." He was accused of being "re
sponsible for the fact that parliamentary
conditions are far worse than they were
under Cannon." Mr. Haines' statement,
In part, follows:
"Mr. Mann Is now a formidable candi
date for the Presidency.
"To those who hope to see Congress be
como less a citadel of 'pie and pork'
politicians, the defeat of Jim Mann would
be worth the retirement of half a hun
dred ordinary Congressmen. Even though
the Democrats are In control, Mr. Mann
Is Jieyond question the most powerful In
dividual in the House, and more than any
other leader Is responsible for the fact
that parliamentary conditions are far
uprso than they were under Cannon.

control of Congress, they did not In tho

neously with the announcement by the
Standing Committee of the diocese that
It approved the transfer.
While all the details of the sale have
not been completed, the sale is assured
and Is commented on by the Rev. David
M Steele n the current Issue of the Par
ish Helper, the publication of the Church
of Bt- Luke and the Epiphany, of which
the Epiphany Chapel Is a subsidiary.
While the sale price has not been made
public, It lg estimated at about $40,000.
The sale of the parish house will not hi
any way affect the status of the chapel.
That has been retained by the parish and
will be conducted as heretofore, but
under a new vlear.
Mr Steele. In discussing the sale In the
Parish Helper, admits that the purchase
of the property originally in 188 was a
