HALL NEW LONDON'S ELECTION RESULTS How Liquor Dealers Turn Politics to Their Own Advaniage " _Candidates Penalized For Not Toeing Political Chalk Line—Will the Commissioners Reduce the Fake Club Licenses—Good Chance to See Law is Enforced. (Special to The Bulletin.) New London, Oct. .5.—George S. Palmer and his few real suporters put up a stiff proliminary fight for mo- license and against the strongest op- position ever demonstrated for license in the of XNew London. On clection day every liquor dealer in the city, licensed and uplicensed the army of “bartenders and their clerks, were at the several polling places at the opening and remafne] until the last ballot was deposited, and there was ro sparing of time or money, or any ammunition that could be utilized to defeat the Palmer small force and the object they desired to attain. In wards where liquor dealers are mem- bers of the ward committee candi- dates for office were forgotten and all the energy of the committeemen cen- tered on the liquor question, that and nothing more. It may be fitting to state right here that the entry of Tiquor dealers into active local poli- tics, to the extent of being ward boss- es and ward committeemen, if con- tinued, will be to their detriment when the license question comes up again. They were accepted as committeemen under the supposition that they woull Fuard’ the best interests of the party they were selected to represent, to do all that could be done for 'the election of party candidates, but not to devote all their time, their money and the party money, to advance purely per- sonal interests.
