ucation regarding the movement: /.
Officers were chosen as follows:

Duncan, sardis: NJ. r. Post. Union;
and H. j. Cross, Tenmile, executive
committee.
A set of resolutions was adopted
by the convention, but too late for
this edition of the Telegram.
The convention was called to or
der BY b. Frank Hornor, OF Clarks-
burg, who called Judge Raymond
Maxwell to the chair as temporary
presiding officer. Judge Maxwell
set forth the objects of the meet
ing in brief address.
"A committee on nominations was
appointed consisting of Laco o..
Young, y. D. Basel, John Wilcox
George H. Trainer, ]. W. Girard,
F. w. Cunningham, S. A. Elliott,
LIE Stout, Harvey W. Harmer, and
the Rev. l.. E. Peters. A commit.
tee on resolutions was also ap-
pointed, as follows: Tdney Har-
rison. Dr.. w. C. Taylor, Judge G..
W. Lynch, B Frank Hornor ana
Jesse G. Lawson.
While the committees were at
work in the jury rooms, DR.. 7. NJ.
Hare, superintendent OF the West
Virginia Anti-saloon league, made
a stirring address in behalf of the
ratification movement. Among the
points he made was that the en-
ployers liability law was one of the
greatest pieces OF modern legislation
in favor of promoting the temper
ance cause, that the business OF a
city is not seriously affected but
aided by prohibition and that the
argument OF the saloon and brewery
interests concerning the Virginia
debt litigation is fallacious. He
said that the state would not have
to pay the debt during the present
generation and that even IL 1t
should, the additional levy necessary
to pay it off in ten years would
amount to only six and one-thlrd
cents on the 800 valuation. Dr..
Hare was still speaking at the Tele-
grams press time.
