Methodist bishop James Cannon, Jr., was probably the most influential southern churchman between the Civil War and World War II and certainly the most controversial. A paradoxical figure, he seemed as comfortable in the secular world of business and public affairs as in the church, and critics condemned him as an exemplar of the materialistic values of the 1920s." "Plunging into politics in Virginia and the nation to secure and protect prohibition, he dramatically broke the southern taboo against preachers in politics." "Celebrated by his followers as Protestant America's foremost champion, he was denounced by critics for his anti-Catholicism and nativism. Beginning in 1929, political enemies and disaffected churchmen, notably Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, accused Cannon of stock-market gambling, adultery, and embezzling campaign funds. For the next five years, the bishop became the center of a series of scandals that generated sensational newspaper headlines across the country." "Based on exhaustive research in private papers, many overlooked by earlier writers or only recently made available, Prohibition and Politics reexamines Cannon's long and controversial career as a churchman, reformer and politician."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 Methodist Church |zUnited States |xClergy |vBiography. 650 0 Methodist Church |zUnited States |xHistory. 650 6 Église méthodiste |zÉtats-Unis |xClergé |vBiographies. 650 6 Église méthodiste |zÉtats-Unis |xHistoire. 650 7 Methodist Church. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01018643 650 7 Methodist Church |xClergy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01018650 651 7 United States |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 600 10 Cannon, James, |cJr., |d1864-1944. 600 17 Cannon, James, |cJr., |d1864-1944 |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00252671 |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJfcM4mPFyPXb88XpGbGHC 600 17 Cannon, James (Bischof) |2swd 911 19991208 914 (OCoLC)ocm39455835 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240703 |eprocessed |f39455835 948 rgm
