rihle an4ithesfe q the nfneteenth CEN
fury which Is twined like the coils Of =
serpent about our social system and en-
throned as the very arbiter Of our polit-
ical government. He referred to the
RIGHTEOUSNESS Of certain eastern cities
1000 years ago that were cursed and
wiped out Of existence. He said that
as nation OF drunkenness and advo-
Gators of saloon license we are weaving
in with the warp and wool Of our later
history black thread which to the
eyes of coming generations will dis
honor our science and craftsmanship
and shame our Christianity. The
speaker then held an inquest over de-
ceased drunkard and laid the RESPONSE
bility for his awful career and his un-
timely death at the hands of the voting
community, the men of this country
who on election day cast their votes
with the parties that stand pledged to
the saloon. 1t is time that we had
awakened to the peril and duty of the
hour to destroy the germs of this dread
pestilence, to arm ourselves with Gods
providence and with conscience free
ballot On election day to vote for God,
home and humanity. He then referred
to his own personal experience, saying
that born in a sober community and of
pious, Christian parents, he grew to
young manhood without being allured
by the tempter. But soon afterwards
the serpent's coils were about him and
he became victim of an insatiate ap-
petite for drink, and for twenty years
was cursed by this demon. The pray
ers and pleadings, however, of devot-
ed Christian wife were not unheard and
he was reclaimed by the grace of God
from the curse of the drink habit.
This was four and half years ago. and
he promised God in that sacred hour
that he would devote his life to the
temperance and prohibition cause. He
concluded by beseeching the Prohibition
party and the w. c. T. u. to stand by
their guns and to ever be found fight
ing for the great cause of prohibition.

The Ohio county delegates to the
Democratic Congressional convention
at Weston met last evening at tne law
offices Of Messrs. Handlan & Wiede-
busch, In the Hub building, to perfect
arrangements to attend the convention.
Charles Schmidt, of Union district, was
chosen chairman, and j. D. Crawford,
of Madison, secretary. There was a
good attendance Of delegates and a
lively interest was manifested. From
the reports received from the various
districts there will be fully as large a
delegation from Ohio county as has
attended any previous convention out
Of the city.
1t was decided to leave this after
noon at 4:45 o'clock over the B. & O.,
although some delegates will leave on
other trains. This arrangement was
decided upon in order to give the del
egates chance to enjoy nights rest
at Grafton and proceed to Weston the
next morning. They will arrive, by
this arrangement, at Weston about IL
O'Clock tomorrow morning. Those
who wish to wait later and leave at
1925 tonight can make the same con-
nection at Grafton and Clarksburg as
the delegates who leave this afternoon.
1t was also decided to arrange for
special train over the Pittsburg and
West Virginia road to bring the dele
gates back to Clarksburg Thursday
evening after the convention is over.
The Ohio county delegation will be
Joined this afternoon by delegates from
Hancock, Brooke and Marshall coun-
ties. The local B. & O.. ticket agent
has agreed to furnish a one-half rate
providing fifty delegates go. Fully this
many are expected to- leave.
The Ohio county delegates did not
appoint any committees at the meeting
last night, but deferred this until the
arrival at Weston. The question Of
congressional candidates was also no1
discussed. The majority of the dele
gates have their minds undecided on
this subject and are determined to vote
for the man who will make the strong
est candidate The withdrawal of ex-
Congressman oendleton from the
contest simplifies the situa-
ton somewhat and makes the
prospects of securing a candidate
from the lower end of the district much
brighter. A number of Mr.. Pendle-
tons friends, however, are not dis
posed to accept Mr.. Pendleton's state
ment as final and feel that his nomi-
nation should be urged, notwithstand-
ing. Brooke county will have a candi-
date in the person of Col. Alex. Camp
bell, of Bethany, and two of
the county districts have in
structed to vote for him as
long as there is hope of his nomina-
ton. Col. Campbell, however, has ex-
pressed no desire to run and his boom
Is entirely in the hands of his friends.
