For the Disp nsary by
Its Friends.

Inc new state senate Will be pro-
dlspensary unless sIveral Of the dis
pensary hold cvers change their sen
timcnts, which is not likely. In tn,
last senate there was a majority OF
three for the dispenRarY, wnich pre-
vented the Morgan local option bill
going thrt u, h. This time tho majori-
~ will likely be four to five In favor
OF the dispensarY.
OF the nineteen hold.over senators
,even are -diepensary and twelve
dispaDsary. The dispensary there.
fore needs only nine new senators t.
.ive majority. 1t has ten certain
