" 'Policy of this Government is for the real interests of the Country—'the Country first, the Country always, and the Country Only," Hoa /. G. Coates, speaking in Parliament, September 19, 1925. mam rmm W " fhe wanAjf, 1 th ings done "Only by judicious care and foresight in setting our financial foundations is il possible to devote the necessary attention to all our citizms. It is the Governments aim to give all classes of the people an equal opportunity in life, by assisting the effort of each citizen in his or her natural vocation, and with a mil on the part of all the results n>e desire can be obtained"—'Hon. J. Q. Coatcs, May 30, 1925. NeW Zealand to=day is on THE prosperity its people enjoy is unequalled by that of any other country in the world. Unemployment is at a minimum;] the average standard of comfort was never higher; the prospects for still further improvements in the conditions of life were never brighter. * We are on the eve of a further Great Forward Movement, At the head of the Government of the country is a new and arresting figure—a comparatively young man who has already won for himself the popular designation of "THE MAN WHO GETS THINGS DONE/' The Hon. Joseph Gordon Coates has a remarkable record. He has not only administered with extraordinary success each of the several important departments of State which have been placed under his personal charge, but he has set a magnificent example of single-minded devotion to the interests of the State—placing the interests of the people above all petty political and personal considerations, lo quote his own phrase: The Policy of Ihis Government is for the real interests of the Country—the Country first, the Country always, and the Country only." That is the man—simple, direct, sincere. Mr. Coates; is not a party politician in the narrow sense of the word. He is not a political tactician, which too often is merely a nohte name for a political trickster. He is not a great talker. But he is THE OUTSTANDING FIGURE IN OUR POLITICAL LIFE TO-DAY, because his past achievements have won confidence in his sincerity of purpose, his administrative ability, his soundness of judgment, and his tremendous capacity for getting on with the job in hand, whatever that job may be. LOOKING FORWARD WITH CONFIDENCE. r That is w^a * every elector in town and country can do with" Mr Coates at the head of the Government of the country. 'CONFIDENCE in a continuance of the era of peaceful prosperity. CONFIDENCE in a more active development of the country under a new, young, and enterprising leader. CONFIDENCE that the spirit of sound enterprise which has been so outstanding a feature of Mr. Coates's administrative policy will be extended to all the departments of State. j CONFIDENCE that the spirit of fair dealing to all classes, which has marked the actions of the present leader of the country, will be studiously maintained. CONFIDENCE that the well-being of the Dominion, and loyal co-operation in the advancement of the interests of the Empire, will never be made subservient to the disloyal clamour of the "Internationalists'* in our midst. CONFIDENCE that loyalty to the Crown and the best traditions of British freedom and justice will be fully maintained. Looking forward under a Government led by Mr. Coates means confidence in the future because it gives assurance of security and active development'of the country, which must make for increased prosperity and the well-being of all. risk Doftyour future VOTE COATES and PROGRESS WHAT IS THE The National-Liberal Party is a party of the past —its change of name leaves it unchanged in its lack of inspiration, lack of leadership, and lack of those high qualities which once made it a powerful and valuable influence in our public affairs. It has had its day and is a surplusage in the political field —a menace mso far as it confuses the issue for moderate voters and assists the Labour-Socialists by causing vote-splitting, 4) The only alternative to a. Government under Mr. Coatcs is a Labour-Socialist Government. This is simple fact. 1 Looking forward with a Labour-Socialist Government in office the people of New Zealand would be faced with a grave and disquieting future. CONFIDENCE WOULD VANISH. The Labour-Sodialist Party is dominated by a little group of dangerous theorists. It thrives on the malicious propagation of class prejudice and sectional hatred. It is narrow and bigoted, and when opportunity offers, despotic and tyrannical. Its policy threatens the security of all classes by a reckless attempt to upset existing British institutions and to substitute therefor the experimental theories of fanatical foreign cranks. It would rob the farmer and the house-owner of his title to his land under a specious plea of State interests. It would aim at the overthrow of what it calls "capital" and menace the savings of the people. It would cripple individual effort and individual enterprise, large or small alike, and make easy the road to all the evils of Communism. Looking forward to a Labour-Socialist Government formed from the present ill-equipped, unbalanced Labour-Socialist Party, would mean looking into a future filled with dark possibilities inimical to the prosperity and well-being of the great bulk of the people of New Zealand, threatening our Imperial relations, and imperilling the magnificent prospects of productive development which now lie immediately ahead. The safe course stands out plain and clear. IOT ,• Look forward with confidence by supporting at the coming Election only those candidates who support Coates, the man ym can trust —"The Man Who Gets Things Done."„. ~
