The "Trade's" dishonest proposal would allow the Liquor Traffic to continue as at present. IQCyOdO votes woulql defeat 400,000 votes cast against the present system. 2. If this is not Minority Rule, What is? 3. Does the "Trade " really want "A FAIR BALLOT PAPER"? The New Zealand Alliance does I 4. Will the Trade agree to include on the Voting Paper Prohibition without Money compensation and without the 4% years , time compensation ? and 5.
