Dawson, ! secretary of the Alliance, and Mr. 11. D. " ' ! Bedford will arrive in Auckland*to-mortal row, and at. 3 p.m. Mr. Bedford ' will lecture at the ; East-street ' Hall, ■:his sub--In-ject being "Men's Ideals."

The Auckland No-license Convention, . " during the list few years, adopted resolu- 1 ' tions in favour of the simple majority. Tho Dominion" Convention which met at '"/ Wellington in June last passed resolutions "That the convention re-affirms i its •• de-, mands of tho simple majority," and "That this Convention recommends the Executive •!% to arrange a series of meetings throughout tho Dominion, in order to inaugurate a" pledge-signing campaign in regard to the V voting for candidates. favourable to tho • reduction of tho. majority required to carry no-license and national prohibition," Deputations which waited, on.' the Hon. : rT. Mackenzie and later on the L Hon/ W„ F. Massey asked that the licensing' law provision which requited that 60 per cent. of votes should bo cast in favour- of local >y" r option or national prohibition be repealed, and that a bare majority should bo made If? sufficient to secure the determination tfoffs? licenses or the restoration of . licenses, ~as ? the case might be. . They also asked " that the period of four years which must ■ elapse under existing Jaw before' national prohibition . would' come into operation ;■? .should be considerably reduced. It is' pointed out that- at the last elec--Lo-tion, the total vote for national prohi- ; bition was 259,943, , and against national'? prohibition 205,661, leaving an actual majority of 54,282. The Prohibition,"party j have, therefore, declared war; against the three-fifths which they contend is "undemocratic, - unjust,"- • and - intoler--li-able. 1 ' , ' ; •; £
