To Your Tents.

Now ia the time, brothers, to be
getting your tents ready for the
summer campaign. There ought
to be a line of them from Maine to
California. The white banner of
Prohibition ought to float proudly
in the summer breeze over every
city, town, village, and hillside in
the land, during the hot summer
months, when the old parties are
inactive, waiting for the opening of
the fall campaign These are the
golden days for you to add reinforce
ments to your ranks, and inspire
them with fresh courage, and en-.
thusiasm for the fall campaign and
election day. Hartford county, Con-
necticut, raised at one subscription
one thousand dollars for tent
campaign. The temperance tent,
in Lynn, last year increased the
prohibition vote fully three-fold.
Let everyone interested in the good
cause subscribe every cent they can
afford toward getting tent. Then
get their friends and neighbors in
terested and get them to subscribe.
Also organize choirs, glee clubs,
quartettes. Get the Prohibition
song books, select the best songs
and practice faithfully upon them,
Train the children to sing also and
let them take part in the general
exercises by singing and speaking
"pieoes" They will captivate some
hearts whom you will be unable 10
reach in any other way Engage
the most attractive readers and
musicians that are available to
you. Utilize all the ''home talent''
that you can get that will be of any
assistance in the work. And above
all secure the services of the best
third party speakers you can find
men, earnest, and discreet, and
true, who will speak the truth
with burning, fearless words, and
yet in such spirit of love to all, as
to not only convince the minds, but
sc0a the hearts of the people to our
side. 1t is very important too that
you have the Prohibition papers
LEVER, Neao York Voice, Beacon,
Pioneer, Public Good, and Prohibit.
con Bombs, either for sale or free dis
tribution among the audience.
Get up clubs for these papers, scat
ter copies of them everywhere, for
they are matchless vote makers,
and will reach many hearts and
homes that it will be impossible to
reach otherwise. Do not keep your
tent stationed too long in one local
ity before you move to another.
Keep moving from one neigbor-
hood to another, not staying long
or than two weeks in one place.
In this way you will be enabled to
reach far more people and do more
good.
Let the thought, that you are
working for the triumph of the
noblest political organization Gin
the tide of times;" a party made
up of Christians, patriots and phil
anthropists, whose grand object is
the humiliation of King Alcohol
(man's most terrible enemy and
the salvation of your country and
tellow-citizens from this awful
scourge, inspire you with renewed
courage and enthusiasm, and to
aoork NTH all your might. Then for
the fall campaign and election day.
Hurrah for the campaign tents

EDITOR FREEMAN: Saturday
evening May 9th, l organized a
League at Iron Dale, Preston Coun-
ty. Mr.. U. 8. Davis is President
and Mr.. A. T. Haney secretary.
The audience was fair and the in
terest encouraging. At Indepen-
dance the following Monday even
ing was greeted by a large con.
gregation. After explaining the
nature of the work before us an or
ganization was in part effected.
Some % names were secured, and
another meeting appointed 4 at
which time the organization will
be completed. Revs. J. A. Cobb and
G. A. Davis OF the M. P. and U.
B. Churches, respectively, were
present and gave the movement
their encouragement. These breth
rem have enlisted fully for the
war. On Tuesday evening we had
q splendid time at Evansville.
The audience was good and the
enthusiasm up to white heat.
A League was formed with q
names. George w. Castle was
elected President, George N. Walt.
or Vice President and Willie Jen.
kins secretary. Revs. d. A. Friend
and W. R. Cunningham assisted
and gave the good work theil
hearty support.
Wednesday evening the 23rd ]
presented the claims Of the Amend
ment to a good audience near Aus
tin, and secured 27 names to start
an Organization; T. III. Shay
President, and Miss Matte Orr, Sc.
cretary. This League may be ex'
pected to do vigorous work for Pro
hibition between this and election
day.
Preston County, if properly work
ed, villa give a rousing vote for the
Amendment. The truth is. every
community 1 have visited yet will
warmly support it if nothing oc
ours tochange the current of pub
lie sentiment which is rising and
growing stronger all the time.
"The Amendment on it's merits
independent of all political part
les" must be the motto.
l wish to say in this connection
that / fear the preachers of the diff.
ferent churches, throughout the
State, are not doing what they
should to secure victory next No.
vember. Constitutional Prohibit
ton in West Virginia is 30 very i'm
portant-so closely identified with
our churches, and with every mater
ial interest of the people that
every preacher ought to take the
work in hand and lay its claims
upon his heart.
Brethren in the minstery, if you
can do no more, see to it that the
people to whom you minister are
thoroughly informed respecting the
Amendment work. Pray, talk and
preach for prohibition. Inactivity
just now is criminality. To do
nothing means defeat. All moral
reforms begin in the pulpit. In the
battle against the saloon the min.
istry is expected to form the van
guard. We can't afford to fall back
to the rear. towards are there.
West Virginia preachers are not
towards. To the front, ye men Of
God Sound the battle cry, from
one end of the line to the otherl
Where the leaders go, brave SOL
diers will follow. Courage is in
SEPARATION. At,all hazards the stan
dard of prohibition, the second
Tuesday in next November, must
be planted in every valley and on
every hill top throughout our little
common wealth. Ja av "
