Noticeable Decline Observed By Many
 In Recent Months
Internal Strife; Financial Difficulties Ascribed as Cause Failure of Efforts to Obtain Concessions for
 Tavernmen in Recent Legislature Factor Also

been the decline of the retail liquor dealers organizations in Waterbury and throughout the state. Some have faded almost completely out of the picture, others now have little or no back ing. and all are faced with finan- cial problems of m ore or less pressing importance.
 The tavermen's organiza tions have faded more than those of other groups, partly through inter- nal strife and partly through the failure of the groups to do any effective work at. the recent legis- latiye session in securing . liquor bill which would grant taverns the right of sale of hard liquor by the glass.
 Retailers In '33
 A year ago at this time, the leading liquor organization in the state was the Retail Beer, Wine and Liquor Merchants Association of Connecticut, Inc. The body had been formed amidst great enthu. siasm at a state convention in this city late in 1893. Locals were formed all over the state, with Waterbury having perhaps the strongest unit, and organization leaders publicly expressed conf. dence that the 1895 general assembly would pass liberalized liquor legislation.
 Today the Retail Dealers asso- citation Is on-existence as far as activity is concerned. Its rival organization, the Connecticut Tav- ern owners association, Is still go- ing through the motions of activity but has never recovered from the blow its prestige took at the gen. eral assembly hearings on liquor legislation.
 Restaurant mems organizations are trying hard to function, but most permittees in this class are too busy endeavoring to puzzle out the liquor laws which soon be-. come effective to have time for meetings or activity. Recently there was formed the Fifth Con. grcssional District Retail Liquor Dealers association, with member. ship open to both restaurant and tavernmen, but It's activity has not been particularly great, and al- ready a drop in interest on the part of membrs has been noted.
 Politics"
 The decline of the Retail Deal- CTS association is typical of what has happened or will happen to other such organizations. Internal disputes came first, followed by the formation of tho rival organ- ization, the Connecticut Tavern owners association. Members in some parts of tho state left the original body to join the new group. The Waterbury local stood fast, but resentment grew when the state convention was not held at the regular time and politics began to be noted on the part of the state leadership.
 The general assembly showed how empty were the governments hopes of selling hard liquor legally and with that came the remaining decline of interest.
 Observers believe that effective organization of liquor dealers in the state, or of any group fTdcal- CTS in the state, Into one organl- zation is n near impossibility, Judging from the record, that it ig Q justified conclusion.

Expert Rlfleman

Invading the realms of re- creation usually reserved for boys, two Waterbury girls have been honored and awarded for outstanding efficiency. One has been presented e medal and q book as an expert designer of model airplanes, while the other has the rare distinction, locally, as well as nationally, of being recognized as an "ex- pert rifleman" and made the recipient of the coveted re- ward for her proficiency. Boys, look to your laurels!
 Miss Katherine Clark, IS, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. John k. Clark of 1855 Chest nut avenue, is q "two-time winner" of honors as a de- signer of model airplanes. As the only girl entry in the state wide competitive con- tests held in Hartford in 1894 and 1885 Miss Clark emerged G winner. Her recent award con- sisted of 6 medal and book. Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and many of Connectlcut's leading citizens, including manufac- turers and aircraft experts, Miss Clark surprised all, and partclularly her small army of male competitors. by taking q place on tho honor roll.
 ENTHUSIAST
 Miss Clark Is not just a de- sIgner, she's an enthusiast and delights in studying up on the technical and mechanical fea- lures of aeroplane construc- ton. She hopes to com pete again next year. Her two victories have instilled her with much confidence, but she appreciates the fact that a greater knowledge and moro practical ability will be needed as years pass by and the "boys" study up moro dili- gently on construction work. Miss Clark graduated c week ago from St, Margaret's school and will enter high school in the fall.

By the Associated Press.
BOISE, Idaho, October 19.-The
weeks that have passed since Senator
William E. Borah returned to Idaho
from Washington. D. c., have been
busy ones for the Lone Wolf OF
American politics.
He has delivered 10 public addresses,
has listened patiently to the stories OF
hundreds of visitors at his offices and
has read thousands of letters.
But he has left unanswered two
questions in which the public is uni
versally interested:
Will he seek the presidential nomi-
nation on the Republican ticket in
1896?
Will he indorse the Townsend old
age revolving fund pension plan?
Interest in these questions has
brought not less than a dozen widely
known political writer's to Idaho, but
none has gone away with the answer
that was wanted.
I've been mentioned in connection
with the presidential nomination at
this stage of the campaign several
times in the past 20 years." the Sem
ator recalled.
"PIanks" Often Outlined.
Monopoly, adherence TO the Consti-
tuition. aloofness of the United States
from foreign affairs, high protective
tariff to preserve the American mar
ket for the American farmers-these
have been stressed in addresses Mr..
Borah has delivered in the past few
weeks before packed halls that have
given him ovation after ovation.
Friends close to him predict he will
not indorse the Townsend plan when
the time comes for HIM to take a
stand one way or another.
They recall that one of the funda-
mentals of the plan is transaction
tax, a form of taxation denounced re-
peatedly by the Senator. His close
friends admit at the same time that
Borah has always been vitally inter-
ested in the class that would benefit
from such a plan,

personal attention to every phase
of this years Fair.
During the past 81 years." says
Director Hanefeld, "the Ohio State
