REV. JOHN DAWSON.

Deep regret was expressed that tlie Rev. John Dawson was not well enough to attend Convention, and hearty prayers were uttered for his recovery to health. Mr Edmond came in his place, and gave a practical address on methods < f work. Convention was grateful to Mr Edmond for the trouble he had taken to visit and help us in our work. After his address a resolution was carried urging all members, not only to vote for prohibition, but to vote for men, irrespective of part> considerations, who will see that pro hibition when carried is enforced. In the C.S.A. every party is care ful to put up “dry” candidates. Ai the late presidential election out ol 30 Democratic Candidates, only one was wet and he got only 7 votes in final ballot. When party leaders in New Zealand realise that prohibi tionists will not support “wet” < indidates then they will put up “dry” ones. To vote for prohibition and then to vote for a man who will oppose it in the House is pulling down as fast as you build up. Our slogan for 1925 election is “Mv vote! no wet need apply.”
