Conan Doyle's Bid
SPIRITUALISTS TO FIGHT IN GENERAL ELECTION.
"Whichever political party will give us an absolute guarantee that we are not going to be persecuted any more shall have our vote,"
said Sir Arthur Conan Doyle yesterday.
He added that the votes of the Spiritualists, who have decided to take an active part in the next general election, "can decide the issue in many constituencies."
Spiritualists will be asked to vote for the candidate whose party has given an assurance that they shall be free from what Sir Arthur called "religious persecution."
"We don't want to uphold fortune-telling or any nonsense of that sort. We want mediums to be allowed to work freely without the possibility of a police-man's hand touching them on the shoulder."
In the north of England, said Sir Conan, the Spiritualists are very strong.
