Evangelist Henry W. Stough, who is
an exhorter of the Billy Sunday type,
has opened a seven weeks revival cam-
j paign in Atlantic City, N. J., the d*
I main of Mayor William Riddle, who
, declares that he wants an open town,
1 with the lid off on Sundays particui-
| arl.v.
W(iile he was conducting a revival
at Buffalo Evangelist Stough prayed
nightly for Atlantic City's mayor in
preparation for the campaign which
I he now has under way.
| "I admire Riddle because he is 011
the level." the evangelist says, "there
is no sneak about him. He says he
favors a wide open town."
And the evangelist is anxious to
meet the niayor, but so far has been
j unsuccessful. The mayor has been
out when the Rev. Air. Stough has tel-
ephoned the city hall. Perhaps this is
due to the solicitude of the business
j men of the city, who fear to have the
; mayor and the evangelist meet.
I On the day of his arrival a delega-
tion of Atlantic City hotel men waited)
on the Rev. Mr. Stough and told him
they didn't want conditions disturbed. I
They also advised him not to publicly j
; attack their friend, the mayor. But!
'while the evangelist was praying in
Buffalo for the Atlantic City m^yor,
he had detectives busy gathering in-
formation about the goings-on in thei
cabarets and 011 the Boardwalk in the!
New Jersey resort, so he .is loaded for:

make the rounds of the brightly light-
ed districts at night himself, and ver-t

When he does this he is expected to
unlimber his artillery.
The revival is being held in a big|r. _ .. , . „
tabernacle seating 4,500 people, at the) i i>I'lttsburg,^Ivus., Re-
corner of Massachusetts Avenue and """* " ' "*
the^Boardwalk. There he has denounc-
ed conditions in Atlantic City. When
he reached the climax of his opening
sermon he waited for applause. There
was none, and only a few half hearted
"Aniens."
The Rev. Mr. Stough turned to the
ministers seated on the platform.
"I knew it," he said disgustedly
"You know I have told the truth, and
in most towns they would have busted
out in cheers."
But the evangelist got a laugh when
he imitated the women of today. He
walked up and down the platform to
show how the "chickens fly."
In his initial sermon he said:
"Noah built an ancient Mauretania
and was supposed to be batty because
he put it together 120 miles from
water.
Abraham was a merchant in tin.
