get the question voted on here at home
In consequence Of this the anti-dlspen-
sary people are putting up a stiff fight
IN order to defeat the measure in the
house committee. The claim of the dis
pensary people being that the matter is
entirely a local one and that the Legis-
lature should only satisfy itself that a
responsible body of voters wish the law
passed and then allow the matter to be
settled by--h local vote. while the anti
dispensary people contend that the Leg
islature should go into the local merits
of the question.
