Prohibition Inquiry Targets Bishop Cannon and Cash Flows
The Senate committee probes Bishop Cannon and the Anti-Saloon League over unreported funds and lobbying activity. Tinkham accuses Cannon of $48,300 unaccounted money and seeks books from the Methodist churchman. The panel questions Jameson’s large donations to Hoover and calls for disclosure of big contributors and campaign spending.
