THE PROHIBITION POLL. The most successful strike the world will ever see will be when the workers of N.Z. unite to strike out the top lino* and shift Blackleg Barleycorn from off their shoulders. The ideals of Labour everywhere are imperilled by the subtle influence of this world-wide monopoly. The men in the van of the Labour movement in every country are total abstainers and vigorous prohibitionists. Why? Because they ha\e 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 dcmocracv 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 votes on Thursday, April 10! Strike out the top lino! —Advt.
