ELECTORS DON’T FORGET: - It is the- “Trade” which is urging you not to pay it £4,500,000 Compensation. Why is it refusing the £4.500,000? Common-sense says there is only one reason; — Because it is sure it can get more at the General Election. It expects £6,000,000 for Goodwill and £9,000,000 for Properties, under State Control, or £5,000,000 (the annual liquor bill) for three years under Continuance. Show the “Trade” that it can’t fool YOU. VOTE FOR THE NATION TO-HORROW. and have done with it FOREVER. The New Zealand Alliance warns all electors who Intend to strike out the top line that if in addition to that they strike out the words “With Compensation ’ in the bottom line their votes will be invalid that is, they will not be counted. A vote not counted is really a vote for the Trade. VOTE FOR THE CHILD AND THE NATION TO-MORROW.

The Porhibition Party does not claim to have made no mistakes in this liquor fight. it does claim not to have knowingly made any mis-statements. It regrets the need to point out that the Liquor Party has been guilty of distinctly dishonourable tactics. What Dr. Valintine described as its “impudent use of my name” in the bogus proclauiaiion about influenza—its deliberate cooking of the cable about the release of spirits in Great Britain — its quotation of statements made nine years ago by Mr Massey and Sir Ward that extra taxation would fol low Prohibition as though_ they were made on the recent Licensing Act—it? deccntive use of the name of the Chief Justice and of the Y.M.C. A.-—its flat rantly false figures about Maine (cert» fled as fake by the editor of The Do minion))—and its equally _ ftlse state mont about America having repudiated Prohibition by a. majority of BRAND IT AS ABSOLUTELY UN WORTHY OF BELIEF. It is certain to‘publish other alarmist statements with some semblance of truth, Unit as false as the above—such cables from overseas —opinions ol apparently or really eminent men—statements undated (nearly always old but quoted as new) —so-called financial statements—-so-called testimony about the failure of Prohibition, All these, and, indeed, any, made by the liquor party ' ELECTORS ARE WARNED NOT TO ACCEPT unless they can verify._ If the “Trade advertises what it claims to be testimonies from Canada remember^— SIR ROBERT BORDEN, Prime Minister of the Dominion, say# Prohibition as a provincial measure has been in force in eight out o* nine provinces sufficiently long to r alise and, confirm expectations of great benefits.' moral, commercial, and industrial, consequent on dte enforcement,” and Governments and Premiers of individual States corroborate this testimony. The answer to aP" inis-otafements ibout America is that FORTY-FIVE JUT 10P FORITY?EIGHT ESTATES RAVE DECLARED FOR PERMANENT PROHIBITION after the State election; in November latt had; been fought on this issue. THEREFORE VOTE FOR THE CHI ED AND THE NATION TO MORROW

“It is a pity that so many returned soldiers get into trouble through drink,” remarked Mr F,, V. Frazer, S.M., at the Magistrate's Court, Wellington, on Monday last. “The mat- ] ter has cropped up often enough before the Court here. The trouble sterns to be that a man who. has gone through i the experiences of active service is unable to drink the same quantity of ' liquor that he was able to drink before | he went away without it producing more or less .disastrous effects. ” For the sake of those returned soldiers who are not eo strong as many of their 1 mates, vote for the Soldier and the Nation tomorrow.*
