SECOND-BALLOT ACTIVITY.
PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN. FOR BARE MAJORITY. [by telegraph—special to the stab.] " . WELLINGTON, This Day. A special meeting of the New Zealand Alliance is being held to-night to arrange fov what we believe will be the final campaign,' 'stated the secretary of the Alliance (the Rev. John Dawson) to your representative yesterday afternoon, ''We shall probably issue a manifesto in the morning." "You are starting early for the next election," stated the newspaper representative. "Oh, we are going to do our best to itifiuenoe the second ballot fights," replied Ihe Alliance Secretary. "Our feeling is that' the majority in favour of the abolition of the traffic demands that next session of Parliament shall remove tlie handicap that is now placed upon the people. We are going to use our powers to influence the second ballot, and seeing that tin vote for national prohibition is so large that is our reason for immediate action. While-we are disappointed that no more electorates went for no license, v. e feel very hopeful that we need only on;; more stride at the same ratio of progress to emancipate this country from the liquor traffic."
