platform asking for the repeal Of the
high license law Councilman Rush

resolution for the consideration Of the
delegates:

party of this state, recognizing the In

license, advocates its speedy repeal
as g. statute of the commonwealth, be-
lieving limited high license is nothing
but an incentive to monopoly and COR
ruption."

Councilman Rushforth were freely dis
tributed among the delegates tonight,

presiding officer of the convention and

Senator Lodge, both addresses dealing
with topics of more than usual inter
est at this time.

the speech nominating Gov Wolcott
