ACTION AT THE MEETING LAST NIGHT-A
VALUABLE ASSISTANT OFFERS HIS SER
VICES
The Liquor Dealers association. at a meeting
last evening at Cosmopolitan hall, received the
report OF the committee on legislation, which
report opposes the high license bill recently in
troduced in Congress, and favors the retention
Oh the.present license. The committee believe
that the passage of this act would be in the in
terest OF the larger establishments, and have
the effect of closing out all the small ones. The
committee are in favor of the proposed change
which does not require the signatures of prop
erty owners and residents TO be obtained every
year The committee was instructed TO oppose
the local option bill.
An old gentleman appeared before the asso-
citation and claimed that he was qualified to
convince the most obstinate and bigoted that
the use of liquor and not its abuse was the
right of ali men. He said that his arguments
were so powerful and his reasoning so cogent
that advocates of prohibition had fled from his
sight, and especially in the state of California
he mad driven from the state an active temper
ance worker. He claimed that he was espe-
ciaiiy gifted in shutting up the women"
AS ne expressed II, and earnestly assured the
members that he was not afraid To meet any
man or woman On this question. The old gem
rleman was told that he could confer with tine
committee. The association then adjourned.
