DISPEN SARY OR SALOON
Some of Tuscaloosa's Citizens Object to
 Wording of Ticket

Tuscaloosa, March 3O.-(Special.)-T democratic executive committee of Tusca- loosa county met today to arrange the de- tails of the election on April 14.
 The committee is nearly all composed of dispensary advocates. Instead of putting on the ticket flor or against dispensary," they voted with few exceptions to put on "dispensary or saloon" One of the excep- tions is HenryA. Jones, who is chairman of the committee. He is strong advocate of the dispensary. but he made vigorous plea for fairness. Ut would be just as fair to make the people vote for dispensary or eternal damnation," said Mr. Jones. Many of the anu's are among Tuscaloosa's best citizens. Some of them are out and out prohibitionists, and the act of the commit tee has caused a war of indignation that has spread even to many or those favora- ble to dispensaries.
