Political Record

that it was the personal influence Of
Bishop Earl Cranston which prevented
the forces which are backing the anti
republican political campaign in Iowa
at this time from enlisting the Metho-
dist church in the fight When the
big Des Moines conference met here
recently the agents of the political
alliance had already got in their work
on the men who attend. Many of them
are under special obligations to the
railroads for favors shown, and many
of them have been reading newspaper
literature we'll calculated to fill them
with prejudice especially as the Des
Moines conference includes all of
southwestern Iowa.
a concerted plan, 1t seems, was laid
to. capture the conference and force
the church to take sides in politics. At
first it was planned to have the con-
ference openly indorse the candidacy
of Mr.. Porter, for governor. but it was
found there were many of the MEM
bers who favored the election of ia
Their" Coffin. So the plan was changed
and it was proposed that the confer
ence pass a resolution censuring the
governor of Iowa because, forsooth, he
did not agree with some other repub-
licans good many years ago, when
they were demanding that the re-
publican party take mo backward
step In regard to a rigid prohibtory
law which Governor Cummins felt was
not truly in the interest of temper
ance.
When the matter was ready to be
sprung on the conference, in the form
of a resolution committing the Metho-
dist church to political action, Bishop
Cranston was appraised of what was
being done. He called into counsel
some of the wise men of the church,
and fo6nd out just what was back of
the movement, and why it was being
projected into the conference at this
time.
Bishop Cranston was not at all con-
cerned for any person Or faction or
set Of men, but he had a care for the
welfare of the Methodist church, and
he set out at once TO head off the
movement. He did not hear of it un-
til few hours before the time when
it vas to come up in the open confer
ence but he had sufficient time to pass
the word along to the older and more
conservative members. as a result of
which the movement was squelched
completely.
It is stated that some Of those who
had promised to deliver the church
into the hands of the political alliance
which is backing the democratic cam
paign this year were much disappoint-I
ed because the bishop got onto their
game in time to head it off. They
had believed the plan could be rushed
thru before the more conservative
men could get together and act sens
