Dr. Swallow Condemned
Methodist Minister Denounced for His Attack on McKinley.
Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 22.—Resolutions condemning
Rev. Dr. Silas O. Swallow, of this city, for an attack on the late President
McKinley in a recent issue of the Pennsylvania Methodist, of which he is editor,
were adopted at a public meeting held last evening in the Board of Trade rooms,
under the auspices of the McKinley Veteran Patriotic League of Dauphin county.
The resolutions state that Dr. Swallow “deserves
to be pilloried as an enemy to the United States and that his name should only
be mentioned with those of Judas and Cain, Benedict Arnold, Wilkes Booth, Guiteau,
Czolgosz and the other traitors, assassins, liars and vile traducers of character
who have blackened the pages of the world’s history.”
The meeting was attended by over one thousand
persons and was presided over by Major John E. Ensminger, president of the league,
which is composed of veterans of the civil and Spanish-American wars. Dr. Swallow
is a Methodist minister. He was the prohibition nominee for governor in 1898
and the nominee for president of the Christian League in the last national campaign.
