to the Commission are men Of the
highest character. They are SEN
ator Bergin, the majority leader of
the senate; the Honorable John
Buckley, United States District At

! Honorable Samuel Spencer, q
| former lieutenant governor.
Under the administration of the
commission, the Liquor Control Act
| Is now in full force, SO far as beer
and light wines are concerned. The
brewers of the state are produc-
quality. People who formerly
drank hard liquor, are apparently
drinking beer, with the result. po-
lice records show, that drunked-

bootlegger complains that he Is
losing his business. Beer is clearly

temperature of the surrounding at

1 States, he insists upon having his
water iced and on having tea or
coffee and soda water. Whether
beer is more harmful than those
national drinks is debatable. 1t
appears to be more sociable
drink.
"The Liquor Control Act looks
forward to the repeal Of the 18th
Amendment. In that event the
manufacture and sale Of liquors OF
higher alcohoiice content will
come under the same statutes and
will be administered by the same
commission, that now has under
supervision beer and light wines.
Accordingly when we go to the
polls in the morning. we have the
assurance that the eventual repeal
of the 18th Amendment will re-
stort to Connecticut the manufac-
ture and sale of all alcoholic
liquors within our. borders under
laws of our own making and ad-
ministered by our own citizens
such as Senator Bergin, John
Buckley and former Lieutenant
Governor Spencer.
