Mr.. Dave D. Johnson and the edl-
tor of the FREEMAN, all of West

made mem bers of the Convention.
Mr. Carskadon was introduced and
addressed the Convention in a
stirring speech. He convulsed the
Convention with laughter when he
said, 81 must vote right, and it isn't
for me 20 worry lest the Democratic
party, or something else the Lord
isn't acquainted with, should
come into power"
In closing, Mr.. Carskadon dis
cussed the proposition to make the
FREEMAN the joint and common
medium of Maryland and West
Virginia Prohibitionists in their
local and State work. Rev. Har-
vey johnson, colored, of the
Union Baptist Church, rose for
a personal explanation, and made
the happy speech of the day.
He said, 81 haze been concerted and
now 1 want to strengthen the
brethren" x 81 have voted with
the Grand Old Party, but I'm with
the Prohibition Party now, the
live, groa0img, progressive party"
