SENT TO PARLIAMENT
WITH HANDS TIED! The tactics of the New Zealand Alliance in suborning the people s represen tativea will meet with the scorn and indignation of all fair-minded elec tors, Pledged to vote on licensing matters ns the Alliance dictates many of these “ tied " politicians will vote regardless of the wishes of the great majority of their constituents. . The voting in the House on this year’s Licensing Reform Bill plainly proved that the New Zealand A 1 lance had a strangle hold on Parliament. And whnt is more significant, it showed that the New Zealand Alliance is out to prevent, reform (i.e., true temperance legislation) at all costs The best answer to the obstructive tacticn of the New Zealand Alliance is to return a verdict so overwhelmingly againsl Prohibition that the pledge givers will realise that they must put the interests of New Zealand before the interests of the New Zealand Alliance. Vote Continuance. (Published by Arrangement.)
