100 to $50 per cent above pre-war

WANT G. o. P. DELEGATES
STILL ELECTED HERE

Resolutions urging that no steps be
taken to do away with the election OF
delegates to the republican national
convention from the District of CO.
lumbia, but that stricter rules of cleo
ton be adopted, have been sent to the
republican national committee by the
Republican Interstate League. H. A
Clarke, chairman.
The resolutions say that a report
has been circulated that certain in
fiuential residents here" are preparing
to request the national committee to
dispense with the holding of the cleo
ton for delegates here. This action
is being taken 1t is said, on account
of the contests which in the past have
been carried to the convention from
the District. in which charges of corr
ruption and irregularity have been
made. The league requests that rules
for the election be established by the
cemmittee.
These rules would provide for regis
tration of those entitled to vote In
the election at least twenty days
prior to the day of voting and for
publication of the voting list in the
newspapers. 1t is proposed also that
the polls be open from s am. until
s pm, instead of from IL m. until 8
pm. as In the past.

NATIONAL LIQUOR DEALERS
 RESIGNATION IN SESSION

Atlantic City, N. J.. May 6.-The
 consttutionality of both the war dry
 law effective July i and the constitu-
 tional amendment effective next Jan
 uary was attacked by delegates at
 tending the annual convention of the
 National Liquor Dealers Association
 which opened here today.
 X decision was virtually reached to
 fight both laws and the opinion was
 freely expressed that the country
 would not go dry next January, if at
 all.
 Politicians who were "cajoled or driven into . panic of fear to enact national prohibition were denounced
 hN the delegates and by William Seek el. president of the organization. "Presidcnt Wilson has learned the sentiment of the soldiers in the field and he has heard from the folks at home who were caught mapping and did not realize the fact that the con- stitutional amendment deprived them of their rights and liberties declared George Carroll, president of the New Jersey Liquor Dealers League Mr. Seckel declared that when the call was issued in August 1918, for a national conference in Philadelphia ] they found the "prohibitionists had l stacked the cards on then." He called for a large fund to conduct the ] ldefense campaign and asserted that 1 the battle is on.''
 l The congressional committees re- port was particularly bitter in it's ar 1 raignment of congress.

House Passes Bill With That Provision-BiIl Has Been Passed by the Senate.
Special to The Bulletin.

Hartford, May 6-The house was called to order by Speaker Walsh and prayer followed by Chaplain Hildreth. MT. King of Willimantic offered reso- lution for the appointment of a com mittee of one senator and two repre- sentatives to recall from the office of the expressing clerk. the act relating to the appointment and duties of the board of education. Messrs King and Cowles were appointed committee on the part of the house. The act was amended so that the governor can appoint the nine members without the approval of the general assembly.
 The house concurred with the sen- ate in passing resolutions and appro- priations for erection of armories in Waterbury and Middletown The house also concurred in the rejection of acts concerning obligations of street railways on highway bridges, and the rights of street railways to operate motor vehicles. The latter is covered in another bill. The house concurred with the senate in rejecting the. bill that would give trolley companies the right to abandon non-paying lines.
 Favorable action was taken on the
