MORNING SESSION
Pharmacists Elect Robert (.
 Walker President.

| nect1cut PnarmaceullcaI association which has been conyening here the past two days, was held in Odd Eel lows hall as the parlor of The FL ton was inadequate for the large number of delegates in attendance. The morning was taken up with the discussion of the liquor question and i the election of officers. The officers elected were as follows: President, R. c. Walker of this city; vice-presi- dent, P. J. Garvan of Bethel; second vice-president, Clarence Spalding of New Haven; secretary, J. B. Ebbs of this city; terasurer, Carl Cyrus of Bridgeport.
 The discussion of the excise laws was warm and spirited and there were several interesting arguments during the session. Although the executive committee was understood | to be in favor of no license when it | came to the members 1t was evident | that they were not in favor of such an | action. Neither was high license fa- vorable to the majority of the dele gates and measures advocating the same were voted down. The result of the discussion, which was prolonged until about 12:15, was that the mat ter was left in the hands of the legis- latiye committee which will propose some measure, rather mild in form, which in way will curtail the sale of liquor in drug stores. It was one of the most important matters which the druggists have discussed in years and drew out more remarks than any other topic discussed at the annual meeting in a long time.
 There was no contest to speak of for the. various offices and it was un- derstood that MT Walker would suc- ceed to the presidency. He has al- ways been a very active member of the Connecticut association and is expected to make suitable successor to retiring President Hartigan of Bridgeport, who has been such a creditable officer to the organization.
