LIBERAL PARTY BREWERY FALLS INTO EVIL WAYS London.' Aug. 11. The fact that the Liberal party organisation of the West Biding district of Yorkshire hue been running a brewery for the paat three years came as a shock today to tem perance folk throughout the country. Until court proceedings were begun to wind up the business it was not gen erally known that in 1010 the York shire federation of Liberal clubs sub scribed funds for the founding of a brewery and lent its name to the busi ness. According to reports from Yorkshire, theV made good beer and sold it at a considerable reduction from the price charged by rival establishments. Through bad management, however, profits had fallen off, and the other day tha brewery's heaviest creditor ob tained an execution for such a large amount that the concern was forced to go into voluntary liquidation.
