The collection of a twenty-million
dollar Manufacturing is not the only
thing in which the Methodistss of the
| United States are ahead of other de-
nominations According to a table COM
! piled by the Chicago Tribune, the Meth
odists have landed" more men in gu
| bernatorial chairs in this country dur
| ing the past few years than any other
! denomination, there being no less than
eight states with Methodist Governors
| at the present time. This list leads off
with Gov. "Dick' Yates of Illinois and
closes up with Gov. Sayers of Texas, all
of the eight being Republicans except
| Savers and Gov. Dockery of Missouri
The Presbyterians come next, with a
score of seven Governors to their credit
two Democrats and five Republicans
this number including Gov. Odell. The
Bapttsts come third, with six execu-
| tiVes, all Democrats, which would in.
| dictate that water and the Democratic
party are better friends than some have
been led to suppose. But perhaps q
better explanation would be found ir
the fact that all the states with Bap-
fist Governors are in the extreme
South. The Quakers are credited with
one Governor, John HUM of Delaware;
the Episcopalians with four, and the
Unitarians with one. Twelve Govern.
ors are entered in the list as men with
no professed church connections.-Les.
