Liquor Dealers League VI Maryland
COnvenes Here Exciting Contest Fo
State Presidency-List Of Delegates
Present Committees Appointed
| The fifth annual convention OF the Re-
tail Liquor Dealers League OF Maryland
was opened at the Assembly Rooms here
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, as wa.
noted in las; evenings CAPITAL. The
convention was attended by about fifty
delegates, many of whom are accompln.
led by their wives.
The meeting yesterday was devoted
entirely to routine work and the appoint.
ment of committees. Many OF the dele
gates returned to Baltimore last night
and returned this morning to complete
| the business. The delegauon from Bal
tmore, comprising one half OF those pres
ent, arrived in a special car over the An
| napolis and Baltimore Short Line Rail
road yesterday morning at 10 o clock.
They were met at the station by the
local delegates and some OF those from
| the counties. who had previously arrived,
and we're escorted 10 the City Hall, where
an address of welcome was delivered by
Mayor Dubois He extended all the
| privileges of the city to the visitors, and
said that he ielt proud that Annapolis
| had been selected as the place for the
convention. After the Mayors reception
the delegates repaired to the various
hostelres and proceeded to get acquaint-
ed with each other.
The headquarters of the League were
| established al the Chesapeake House and
a large draped sign announcing the fact
was hung across the front OF the build
| ing. In all sections OF the city could be
seen groups OF sightseers wearing the in
sigma OF the Liquor Dealers League.
| Every point OF interest was visited. The
| favoTite spot, however, was the Naval
Academy grounds. AT 3 80 o'clock the
/ convention was called TO order in the
assembly room OF the City Hall by the
| president, Frank Stallo. The reports OF
the officers, reading of communications
and the appointing of committees COM
| prised the business of the session.
J. Henry Mas. publisher OF weekly
| journal, appeared before the convention
and asked that his paper be endorsed as
the official organ of the League. The
matter was referred to committee. The
convention adjourned at 5 80 clock and
met as ain last night and adjourned over
until this morning. The meeting today
| was an interesting one, inasmuch as there
we're several candidates in the field for
the state presidency. This was caused
by split in the city deleg gation. 1t was
the general impression when the delegates
left Baltimore yesterday that Mr.
Frank Stallo, the incumbent, was the
choice OF the delegates for reelection.
but since then Mr.. {. Schmuck and
| Mr.. Charles Simonlni have become aspi-
| rants for the position. Two delegates to
| the national convention, which meets at
Niagara Falls on September 27Ih, were
also elected, in addition to other officers.
After the adjournment OF the conven-
| ton this afternoon the visiting delegates
were entertained at an oyster roast by
the Annapolis delegation. The names
