THE PROHIBITION POLL. The most successful strike the world will ever see will be when the workers of New Zealand unite to strike out the top line and shift Blackleg Barleycorn from off their shoulders. The ideals of Labor everywhere are imperilled by the subtle influence of this world-wide monopoly. The men in the van of the Labor movement in every country are total abstainers and vigorous Prohibitionists. Why? Because they havo discovered that John Barleycorn is a. traitor to their class. The 'New Zealand Watersider' says: "Remember, Mr Fat likes to see us drunk, otherwise we might get to know too much and be dangerous to him." It is only sober men who are faithful to their ideals. The world will never be safe for democracy as long as the destiny of a vote can be determined by the contents of a square rigger. A lost opportunity can never come back. Workers, get to the poll! Record your vote on Thursday, April 10! Strike out the top line,— lAdvt.]
