Fair play is British! What. then, do vou c thinly of the Liquor Petition which gives s the Trade a 3 to 1 chanoa against Prohibi- ' t.ion? Read what happens under its pro- ' posals—if National Prohibition does not ' secure a majority of the total votes cast it - fails; if National Ownership dees not secure , a. majority it. fails: l>ut if National Continuance also does not secur? a majority .t wins (for, no issuo having secured .a majority, the Trade continues). To see how absolutely undemocratic is the proposal asked for by the Trade's Pstition, apply it. to an election of members. Let Mr White represent National Prohibition, Mr "Red National Ownership, and Mr Black National Continuance, and make it compulsory for tire winning- candidate to c secure a majority of the total votes cast. What would tho other candidates say, and t what would the voters say if Mr Black won if he secured a majority, and also won if neither Mr White nor Mr Ttsd secured a I majority? That is "The Trade's" Proposal. Tt wins if National Continuance is ? carried: it, wins if National Ownership : s f, carried; it wins if no issue is carried. 'Heads 1 win, tails you lose'' is child's a play beside it. If you think so sign the N.Z. Alliance Petition and refuse to sign that on behalf n of Liquor. If you have signed the latter c under a misapprehension, ask your M.P. to v have vour name removed, or send word to f the N.Z. Alliance representative at once.— Advt. t.
