Is it possible that every one of the
dates have been persuaded to give way
to Aswell?
There is strong and steadily grow
ing opposition to Aswell and the auto
cratic system which is being resented by
the people.
If there should be no opposition to
Aswell, it will devolve on the people to
defeat the amendment projected. to raise
