Follow flie Leader! The Prime Minister does NOT advocate Prohibition/ He has NEVER AT ANY TIME advocated Prohibition. The N.Z Alliance is guilty of attempting to hoodwink the electors on this point. The Hon. J. Gordon Coates believes in the inherent strength and character of the New Zealander—every speech he makes proves it. QiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiftiiiiiitiiiiiiiHiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii HON. J. GORDON COATES 1 Every public utterance by Mr. Coates typifies his belief in the prosperity f j and progress of New Zealand under Continuance. His every address j | proves his appreciation of the importance to New Zealand of the great | i revenue derived from liquor duties. Sir John Luke and Mr. R. A. Wright ] I also concede that the revenue is vital. Mr. Coates’s great predecessor j ! established a tradition in which Prohibition played no part—a tradition so j I great that the present Prime Minister will not depart from it. j p]iniiiiininiimiiiiiinmiimminininiinM«n»innmniim»i'iiiinii |l| n»n || i' l » lllllllllllllllllllllllllll El | The Late RIGHT HON.
