LED.

DOMINION PROHIBITION VOTE DEMANDED.

Wellington, June 24

The New Zealand License Convention decided, after nearly three days' debate, to drop the com* pact made in November, 1909, between-the New Zealand Alliance and the New Zealand Brewer's Association. An amendment condemning the combination of the issues of NoLicense and Dominion Prohibition was rejected by 76 to 60. The Conference also passed the following resolutions .— (1.) That we demand a special vote on Dominion Prohibition, with full provision for giving effect thereto if confirmed.

(2.) That this special vote be taken on the day of the next general election.

(3.) That the question be submitted to the electois on a separate paper of distinctive colour, to be kept and counted separately.

(4.) That we demand bare majority, and all the amendments dealing with local law affirmed last June.

(5.) That the Executive in consultation with the Consultative Committee, be empowered „to draft a bill on the above lines, submit the same to Government, and organise a party throughout the Dominion in support of the bill.
