But there was, the prohlenn was here,, and 'it had to be handled'in- seine way end she believed the Government was en deavbring 'to :Find the best way of doing; that. She felt that the Fer- '.guson Govern/milt hada.fine record of achievement in the' shote space`of six years and 'hoped; it would be. re- turned.. eturned : She Said a geed 'word, for the candidate 'but felt that it' was unnecessary, as he was so well acid' throughout h known fav`o.iva I ` b y of g out :t he community.
