As a far-seeing politician your Uncle Ben has few equals and } wheu he said that certain changes in ai the management of the dispensary ^ were necessary in order to save it, he d knew that he was voicing the senti- ai cl ment of thousands of voters, amoug tL whom are many who have always ? regarded the Ai&j^enswy as the 4'best * ^utioa,,<af tha liQU|^ question. a] Jm I.:.- f fil..:. ?
