Sold (Continued from First Page) saloon men grew a schism in the ranks of the wholesale dealers. Part of the brewers and of the wholesalers upheld Crof ton. Part believed in his ideas but consider ed that the strained relations be tween him and the retail men mil itated against his usefulness as a political manager. The remain der were opposed to him. . Early in 1906 Crofton tendered his resignation as secretary. It was not accepted. He served for nearly a year longer, then resign ed finally, and his resignation was accepted. Shortly after the Wholesale Brewers' and Liquor Dealers' association blew up and was disbanded. More than a year ago the brew ers formed an organization of their own. Following that the wholesale liquor dealers formed another organization. At the head of the first is Paul We3sin- ger, leading the second with Fred Rothschild. Since the disbandment of the big organization the liquor men have on several occasions called on Crofton to aid them in political maneuvers. He accomplished the defeat of the McKenna ordinance in 1908 and directed the anti-local option fight on the east side at that time. He has been the di recting force in several other lo cal option battles. An effort was made to put him at the helm once more for the coming fight but he declined to serve, and consequent ly a new director general has been imported from San Francis co to take up the fight. The principal work of the new political agent will be to ward off state wide local option. If he is successful in the task he will then turn his attention to local option fights in different parts of the state, as these fights come up Portland Journal. The Michigan Buggies are Sold by R.
