Afternoon-Many Did Not Know What
Wards They Represented.
When State Secretary A. d. Warner

was chosen as chairman Of the meeting
and Professor Isaac T. Johnson was
selected as secretary.
On the roll call Of hundrsds and
wards in responding to which all the
representatives were requested to stand
1t was surprising TO see how many local
option workers didn't know where they
lived. Some stood up at the wrong
time, while others didn't stand at all for
fear they would make an error Rev. j.
