Even spokes-: men for the liquor interests con-: cede that a good part of Scotland will go "dry." Glasgow has 37 wards. Some of 'them will almost certainly go "dry." others will remain as at present, so that while the public houses on one side of the street may be closed 'hose on the other side, being in a different ward, may remain open.
