Annual Hesting at the Fame Hose Ehsiho
House Thursday Night-ofhcers Eieote"'
The annual meeting of the Licensed
LIQUOR Dealers Association oi winning
ton was held at the Fame House engine
house Thursday night In additlonto the
election Of officers for the ensuing year
several matters of importance were dis
cussed by the members OF the assocla-
ton.
The officers chosen are as follows:
President, Frank j. Niedermaier; First
Vice.president, George Johnson; Second
Vice. president, Harry Schnept; Ihlrd
Vice president, Frederick lleiss; Record
ing Secretary, Frank NJ: SEWER; tlnan-
cial Secretary, John A. North; treasurer,
Henry Blouth; Executive COMMITTEE,
John A. North, James McGrath, Frank
NJ. SEWER, John MCGOWAN ana Harry
Schnepf.
Il. r. Cochran, Jr., attorney for the
association, was present at the meeting
and advised the liquor men concerning
the enforcement of the law concerning
saloon keepers who sell to habitual
drunkards. 1t was Mr.. Cochran's
opinion that the law cannot be en-
forced. What the liquor men object to
is the fact that tine list on which the
names Of habitucs arc posted does not
contain the name OF any person ms pos
sessing sufficient authority to issue such
list. Ii was the opinion of the attor-
ney that tho saluon-keGpcrs were not
bound to pay any heed to the list, mas
much as ii does not contain the sigma
turc of any person in authority.
Another matter the liquor men are in
quiring about is: Who is TO determine
when a man is an hsbitual drunkardp
They look upon the passage OF the law
as an abridgement of the liberty of the
individual.
The association discussed the move
ment among the temperance people for
local option and steps were taken 10
place their claims before the General
Assembly. The matter was finally left
to the executive committee, who will so
to Dover to SEQ that the liquor men are
given an opportunity to be heard when
| the matter comes up.
When spoken to in regard to the
movement Friday morning member of
the executive committee said that local
option would never become law here.
| He said the State derived 100000
every year from the liquor revenue and
the State treasurer could not we'll do
| without this money.
