THE “MODERATE” CANDIDATES.
The following are facts which nobody can deny or refute : 1. That »n 1906 “the trade ” paper said, referring to the present Licensing Committee, that "the trade intended to do ite own reforming,” thra classing them as a “trade” ticket. This reforming of itself by “the trade ” has meant the increase of arrests for drunkenness from 534 in 1905 to 772 in 1908. 2. That the full lists of voters for “ the trade ” for the whole City, compiled at great expense by the agents of the licensed victuallers at last election, will be in use on Committee election day. 3. That all the cabs in the City have been engaged months ago by Mr Haydon, licensee of the Central Hotel, on behalf of the L.V.A. Unless these facto can bo disproved it is idle to continue to assert that the socalled Moderate team are not considered by the brewers and publicans to bo really favorable to their interests. As also “the trade” are willing to spend money in electing them, it is evident they expect advantage from their election. Advantage to “the trade” means moral and physical damage to the people.—[Advt.]
