If there is any foundation for this, is it possible that they are In lluenced by that spirit which has ex isted ainongai those who favor liquor selling, from the time the dispensary was close !, \\ ho never have wanted the law agatnst the blind tiger en forced, hoping that by creating a spir it of lawlessness in the county and allowing pandemonium to reign that they may put up the oft charged ar gument that "prohibition does not pro hlbit" and then say "Don't you see times are no better now than they were while the old dispensary was running"?
