W. o. T. U. Holds Its Annual Gather-
in in Stamford.
The Falrfi, Count w. G. T. U. was.
in session yesterday n the Congresa'
ilolial Church, Siamiord. About 100
delegates from all over the county
were in'attendancc. Mrs. Clara liar-
num. president of the County Union.
presided. The exercises opened at 9
a. m. with a praise service led by Miss
Marlon Peniield. of Bridgeport. The
convention proper was called to order
at 91:10 and the roll-call. rel-lioness,
minutes and appointments of c0uiinlt~
tees’ followed.
Rev. Louis F‘. Berry made an ad-
dress of welcome to the delegates and
complimented them on their work.
Mr. Barry said that. while Connecticut
was known abroad as the land of
steady habits, it was careless as to
the liquor business and refusing inter-
ference in the slim niatrdtiou of It. He
also deplored the lack of interns:
shown in the recent hearing befor,
the committee in Hartford, in which
an attempt was made to limit the num-
ber of saloons, and said this lack of
interest in the matter of the liquor
business is what makes Connecticut
lag behind other states in the progress
against the traffic.
Reports from the various superiir
tendcnts of departments were read
and approved. A telegram from the
state president, Mrs. C. is. liuell. an
nounced her inability to be present and
address the convention.
Mrs. C. ii. Forbes, honorary lii‘c
president of the union of i'eihsni, i'or~
merly of Hartford, gave an interesting
address on “lleacon Lights," taking
her theme from the lights made at
dawn in the Tyrolean Alps.
“if the lights from the mountain
tops give those who live in the valleys
a hint of the dawn, the glorious dawn-
ing of victory for prohibition ought to
make us do. as the Tyroiese do. praise
(led from whom comoth chry good
and perfect gift," she said.
There are nine states that are not
totally “wet," and six that are totally
dry. and the progress along these lines
Is stupendous. so much so that all
kinds of efforts are being made by the
liquor men to stem the tide.
Mrs. Forbes paid her compliments
in no uncertain way, to the Hartford
Conrant, for its action in upholding
the liquor interests in the April clcc»
tion, and, turning to the press repre-
sentative. said:
“You may telegraph that to
Cour-ant, If you want to."
The time is certainly coming when
Connecticut will be added to the dry
suites.
“Le-t on light durihg the next two
years for thc lt-gislntion that willr
bring about tin» rcsuli we so much do
sire." she said.
' A collation followed the morning
session. and an cxccuilve meeting was
