Undermining pabliament.' i a d angeeous. policy. ' The expenses of the Anti-Saloon League in America—corresponding to the New Zealand Alliance 'here—are chiefly incurred in influencing the results of political elections and in creating lobbies to press class legislation, to the exclusion of all other public affairs. A vicious dominance'at-Wash-ington, and a? dangerous and subversive power in the several States' have been acquired by the private organisation of the Anti-Saloon League at a cost, of seventy: million dollars. ( This is a condition, which cannot be ignored in New Zealand. The Alliance exists for the same purpose as the Anti..Saloon League, and is already employ-: ing the .same tactics. It cares not fbr questions needing the be-st brains of Parliament, and involving the* happiness and prosperity of the people. Since it realises that Prohibition can never be carried by the people's vote,| itsmain efforts are now being concentrated on securing the nomination to Parliament of men of its own choice. Hpw far these attempts at Super-Government are likely to be tolerated in a democratic country like JJew Zealand remains to be seen, but with the experience of America to guide them, Now Zealanders are not likely to be hoodwinked by such underground methods. —Advt.
