ton with the rank and e whom they charge with tota
apathy In leaving them spsnd me and money III their
interests Said Mr. olender to TRIBUNE reporter yes
terday: propose 20 have nothing further TO 40 VIM
the Agitation Committee. For the past three weeks
have been exertins myScf to the utmost to make hquor
dealers alive 10 their Interests, and have failed am
tired Of tins thing DOW going 10 attend to nv own
business and let things take their course That there
truth In the charge OF apathy IL shown by
the fact that among the dealers al spirit
uous liquors whom the reporter visited yeoter-
day not knew the nature OF the two Dlls recently
proposed in the Assembly, was aware which one
would be OF general benefit 10 liquor dealers III the
state Some dealers said that things would still come
out all right" but when asked how this could be brought
about they were III loss for answer. Some cosoled
themselves with the Thought that they wouia put up
couple of beds and call their stores "taveins, or
hotels" while Others declared that " 1t was shame
that should be banperod IN their business by
a number of fanatics" When asked why they dd not
follow the cxaule of their opponents orgap'ze COM
pactly they said OF use for one man 10 use MS
time and money, as the others would not do the same
committee of Hglor dealers consisting OF Major
