In Dallas on May 22 1929 Bishop James Cannon Jr of Washington DC faced a key test of confidence at the Methodist Episcopal Church South general conference. The floor fight over his temperance leadership and alleged stock market actions opened a brief window for final vindication as he faced possible re-election. The conference denied protest printing and reserved further action on Cannon while new tenets condemned stock market gambling and urged certificates of purchase for stocks. Tonight figures mark consecration of three new bishops with sessions likely to adjourn tomorrow.
