A WARNING TO THE ELECTORS. If anything was wanted to disgust, decent people with the antics of the present Red Labour Party, surely it is completed in the grossly malicious attacks made upon Mr. C. P. Skerrett by Mr. P Fraser and Mr. P. J. O'Regan. THE RED FLAG PARTY. On Sunday ovening last Mr. Fraser said: " The Labour Party has but one flag, and I am willing to accept it—the Red Flag." After thus repudiating the British flag, he has the hardihood to talk a lot of words about " The red, white, and blue,'' which he has just denied in the name of his party. He accuses the Welfare League of bringing the national emblem into the political arena, which is simply a falsehood. The Welfare League has not, either in advertisement or any other way, used the Union Jack in this contest. The League holds that the flag of our Empire should fly above the mud of the mud of party wkrfare, and treats it accordingly. THE SLANDEROUS TART, Mr. Fraser closes a passage of the vilest abuse with these choice words: "You have to choose whether you will stand for that black flag and its skull and crossbones, of which Mr. Skerrett and his friends are so proud, or whether you will vote for the working class flag." Could gross impudence and blatant scurrility go further than that? Against a citizen who is a man of the highest integrity, and who toiled hard in New Zealand for many years before P Fraser - ever reached the country, this political mountebank dares to sling the vile mud of slanderous abuse. ' THE WELFARE LEAGUE. The League hitherto has not paid any attention to the diatribes of the Labour Party, because the party has not produced anything but abuse. Its one assertion that the League stands for profiteering is a deliberate falsehood. The Labour Party has not attempted to present any proof that this assertion it makes is true. POOR MR. O'REGAN. The above gentleman seems to glory in the statement that Mr. Skorrett's meeting in Auokland :was interfered with by his Red Fed friends. As a fact, the speaker obtained an excellent hearing despite organised interruption. His assertion that Mr. Skerrett slandered everybody is just dogmatic assertion, nothing more. It is curious to observe Mr O'Regan, .the erstwhile apostlo of freedom, appearing as an apologist for the disturbance of public meetings. Mr. O'Regan's coupling of the names of the Rev. Howard Elliott and Mr. C. P. Skerrett is the ' meanest thing we have read, and to say the least of it shows most grossly bad taste. ' Mr. O'Regan seeks to represent Mr. Skorrett's statement that the Labour Party's plan of Nationalisation spells confiscation as being unjust, but no person has yet been able to show how it can be effected without confiscation. . In conclusion let us ask, is Mr. O'Regan a Socialist who honestly believes in the Labour Party's objective of " The socialisation of the means of production, distribution, and exchange"? and if not, why is he supporting what he does not believe in? Mr, O'Regan's ebullition consists of laudation of himself, depreciation of Mr. Skerrett and a screech in favour of Single Tax. Hitherto no one has taken either Mr. O'Regan or his opinions seriously; and we have no desire to create a precedent. s=lll ' ■ . , |„, ..... LIQUOR AND INFLUENZA "' MEDICINE IN THE HOME. DON'T LET THE LIQUOR TRADE SCARE YOU. READ THIS:— SIR MALCOLM MORRIS, X.C.V.0., F.R.C.S., President of the Institute of Hygiene, at a Conference called by the Institute on 28th February, 1919, to consider "Influenza and its Prevention," said:— "Alcohol is NOT essential for the prevention or the treatment of Influenza."

Dr. Turner says in a letter:— "I have not ordered any alcohol whatever in Influenza, either in this epidemic or in any of the early ones. They do not require it, bo far as I can see." ■ \ ALCOHOL WILL BE AVAILABLE. But, if required, alcohol for medicine will be obtainable. The.
