WHAT IS " SI'I'F.ROOVERXMENT ?" IHJBFiIC INTEREST AROUSED. Keen in(rrcst is lining taken in (lie question of "Super-Government," so much so (hat it is not out of placo to state just what litis peculiar system represents. "Super-Government" means the extortion of secret pledges from members of Parliament to support an unpopular minority organisation. The New Zealand Alliance stands for this pernicious maladministration, openly proclaiming that it has "Captured Parliament!" What does this signify? The people, at (he ballot box havo voted against the menace oT prohibition. They have elected representatives to Parliament to look after their interests. Along comes the Alliance extorting pledges from the people's representatives. Instead of the Ifou.se of Representatives being free and unfettered to forward tlio glorious traditions of British justice and administration the Alliance pulls the strings in the background. subverting the very principles on which democracy and safe government rest! Such an iniquitous practice is "Super-Government." New Zcalanders cannot afford to allow this menace to their Parliamentary privileges to go unchecked. It is an nnBritish system and smacks of the tric-kerv and subterfuge of American politicians' methods. Prohibition openly stands for this reprehensible "Super-Government." Every voter in New Zealand who values liberty and honourable government should vote unhesitatingly for Continuance and clean politics.—(Advt.)
