ing the National Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation in the Hotel Rudolf today,
President George F. Bieterle. of Gin

but deprecated the fight as to what is
whiskey.
The liquor dealers reaffirmed their
platform OF last year, which declared
against the confiscation of private
property.
This afternoon reports of the board
Of control and of the executive COM
mittee were In order. with the appoint
ment of several committees, including
that of nominations. In this connection
President Bieterle has served notice up

j. Lang & Co., of st. Louis. She is
said to be one of the most able dele
gates at the convention.
