FALSE PROPHETS.
. Prior>tp the: Generdi Election in 1928 a great many prophecies were made by-the New Zealand Alliance. The following are: typical: "Prohibition in America has-, come to stay," "America is too shre\vd a nation ,to tolerate a failure,". '.'Prohibition will never be repealed,", etc. A simulated optimism has always beeii a trait of the local "prohibs.",.;.. Fanaticism is another. I Knowing.full well that prohibition has now been thrown out of America and discarded by every country that has tried it, and knowing full well that New Zealand; will have nothing to do with it, these strange; people still advocate compulsory total abstinence in one of. the-most sober countries in the world. Fanaticism is the only explanation that can be given. Let us have temperance, by all means, but do not let us confuse the virtue of temperance with the farce of prohibition. Let New Zealand continue to progress along the path of sobriety and true temperance by voting Continuance. Strike out the two bottom linss.—Advt.
