Follow the Leader! The Prime Minister does NOT advocate Prohibition. He has NEVER AT ANY TIME advocated Prohibition. The N.Z Alliance is guilty of attempting to hoodwink the electors on this point. The Hon. J. Gordon Coates believes in the inherent strength and character of the New Zealander—every speech he makes proves it. f HON. J. GORDON COATES : ' f I Every public utterance by Mr. Coates typifies his belief in the prosperity i j and progress of New Zealand under Continuance. His every address j l proves his appreciation of the importance to New Zealand of the great j i revenue derived from liquor duties. Sir John Luke and Mr. R. A.

The Naked Truth— PROHIBITION IS AGAINST HUMAN NATURE FROM EVERY POINT IT IS A FAILURE It is a fanatical Intemperance- at once a farce and a tradgedy. Ethically— It is Indefensible As a Moral Uplift— It is an Inversion. Economically— It is a Ghastly Failure. As a Prop to the Spinelessit is a Broken Reed. VOTE CONTINUANCE
