SECRET PLEDGES.
TO TEE EDITOE. Sir,—Under the above heading a correspondent in your last evening's issue make? some untrue and misleading statements concerning the New Zealand Alliance and the election of members of Parliament. In all the seven electorates in the Otngo area leaflets have been printed and distributed giving accurately the answers and positions of the various candidates on licensing legislation questions. There are no secret pledges as far as the Prohibition Party is concerned, the only trouble being that we arc unable to secure as great publicity as we could wish. As at the 1925 election, candidates have been asked eight questions. Much is being made by some candidates of the fact that they kept two or three of the eight promises, hiding the fact that they broke others. The Otago United Temperance Reform Committee has tried to make this position quite clear.—l am, etc., Executive Secretary, United Temperance lleform Council. November 13.
