DISHONEST USE OF GENERAL BOOTH'S NAME.

INTENSE INDIGNATION EXPRESSED. Last mglit- at the Garrison Hall, -with over 2000 people present, Staff Captain Dixoti moved, Adjutant Holme seconded, and it was carried ABSOLUTELY UNANIMOUSLY and with gre-at. enthusiasm, tlifit—

This meeting desires to express its indignation at the unwarrantable usa of General Booth's name in an advertisement inserted by the Liquor party calling upon the people to vote continuance. . . . Such a use of his name is in direct antagonism to the General's whole life's work, and 1 we arc of opinion that a trade that \vould defend itself by such methods is a blot upon our civilisation, and its existence should be ended.

THE TRADE RIGHTLY DESCRIBED.

i'hus did 20C0 Dunedin citizens unanimously describe the liquor traffic, mid who will dare to fay that- their judgment is erroneous?
