They are as many and as varied as the polit- teal beliefs of the voters who people their states. Some are without church affilia- tion others attend church without being known as members, still others are regu- lar attendants of the rock ribbed sort, and just a few-and they hesitate to dis cuss the fact-aliow their wives. their sisters, and their brothers to do the church going for the family.
 In the above table arranged numeri- caliy as to religion and alphabetically as to states, are set forth the church soers. as we'll as the non-church mem bers of forty-two of the states. Some are known the nation over for their devo- tion to religion. while others have gain cd their prominence wholly in the politi- cal world.
 Those whose names appear in the list of non-church members, are necessarily stav at homes, as many of them are at- tendants, but have never embraced the faith in formal way. Some of these non-church goers open their purses to the religious societies of all denomina- tions, and are known as the most liberal Rivers in their home states.
 It is not long ago that Governor Mick ey. a staunch Methodist upset all prece- dents in Nebraska by vetolng the inau- ruraI ball, which custom has made one of the events of life in the capital city. Here Is what he has to say of his belief: s'The primary reason why I am Meth pdist is that my parents were Methodists.
