jAn Independent can get things done— when he's a fighter and speaker like John Hogan. He is already .proving that he can get things done for the people of Hutt who have had no representative for so long. He is getting things done right now —to improve Housing conditions—4»elp the workers —prevent further congestion of the over-populated area that was once the Garden City. When he is elected he'll get far more done—Yes, Hogan is the man to get things done and represent the whole of the people, irrespective of party. Ask the Bus Drivers! Every vote for Croft or Connors is a vote to put Nash back. Defeat Nash—vote solidly for HOGAN.

WO MEN — are voting — DEMOCRATIC SOLDIER LABOUR It is fifty years since the women of New Zealand were given the right to vote. Here are points in Democratic Soldier Labour Party's platform that have received the. endorsement of women to-day. ;... j MAN POWER AND THE FAMILY, j We believe our war .activities should be based on New Zealand for other reasons: Firstly, there is the need for survival of our population, which is small. We contemplate leave for soldiers with their own wives and children periodically. There are also urgent moral reasons for having our own men based on our own country. The divorce of New Zealand men. and women for four, five, and maybe ten years is too long to be contemplated with equanimity. The fact that girls are growing up in many homes with elder brothers overseas is all helping to create undesirable features in our way of life. ■ MOTHERHOOD ENDOWMENT. Adequate motherhood endoAvment is one'of the most important necessities of our time. To pay 10/- for each child regardless of the male parent's income, would have cost £10,000,000 in peace time. An expenditure of this nature would have been ferociously resisted, yet to-day we spend £120,000,----000 a year on the destructive arts of war. ' v , Democratic Labour believes that for nation survival, as well as to secure a moral economy, we should aim at progressively increasing family^ allowance for each child until a minimum of £1 a head is attained. If we can afford £120,000,000 .to destroy life in war, we can afford £20,000,000 to recompense adequately mothers engaged in bringing up a family. . MEDICAL BENEFITS. We believe that all medical benefits under the Social Security Act should be free and that the State should supply full-time clinics so that all New Zealand citizens can have the best possible treatment, in the most modern manner. EDUCATION. Education should be free from kindergarten to university. Bursaries should be provided to boys and girls of talent, regardless of the means of their parents. We... are fighting for democracy; let lis start with democracy in the" schoolroom. Let us have free school books. Today many professions are not the privilege of ability, but a privilege bestowed on a child by wealthy parents. PRICES. Despite control, prices are steadily rising as the quantity of goods falls. The rising cost of living presses more and more harshly on the family man at a time when we have call for more and more population; v WIVES! MOTHERS!
