“THE TRADE AT GREAT EXPENSE BROUGHT FROM AUSTRAUA MR. MAGUiRE, THE LSQUOR CHAMPION, But Listen to him, and Judge what their “Best” is— HP HE “WANGANUI CHROJ' “Ws confess that we cannot understand Mr Maguire. We believe him to be a good-natured man, and when provoking an audience which was apparently determined to be orderly, ho smiled at those on the stage as though he were doing an excellent thing.” “The position became absolutely painful at times, when the speaker, saying the most dastardly things, was howled at and hooted.” "Mr Maguire dealt with the Rev. Tregear practically the whole of the evening, but It was Mr Tregear who, with a manliness that evoked cheers saved Mr Maguire from absolute collapse.” “Mr Tregear said: I am the man attacked. It is my affair. You give Mr Maguire a fair hearing, and I will reply to his criticisms either to-night outside this hall or at another place.” “Mr Maguire said: Look here fathers, if any of your girls are keeping company with a Prohibitionist, kick him out.” “When you see a young man going to church' with a big Bible under his arm, watch him, mothers.” “It is not the man who takes drink who destroys yonr family life, it is the canting humbugs who go with the Bible near their hearts.” “I have travelled over the world. ICLE” says:— and ! look upon the man with the biggest Bible as the biggest scoundrel. When the Gospel of Jesus Christ is taken as the standard bearer of any Political Party it becomes the refuge of every scoundrel in your midst.” .“When bigotry enters a man, reason leaves him. I do not care a whether you like it or not.” Some of the refined, logical and temperate statements made by this advocate for the Liquor Party at Waverley on Friday night last (1) I have no hesitation in saying that I look upon any man and woman who advocates prohibition in a free country like this as a person on a very poor and low mental plane. (2) If Prohibition took place here to morrow in the Dominion, ive could approximately arrive at what ''an average workman spends in his beer and alcoholic liquors. We will assume that it is 5s a week, but I do not think it is really that. Then the workingmen of New Zealand would receive 5s less worth in wages. (3) After speaking Very strongly against certain tactics adopted by the Prohibition party Mr Maquire adds: If the Prohibition Party have no better influence than to make political larrikins of the Y.M.C.A. and Christian Endeavour Society, I say to with the Prohibition Party.” (4) If we shut the open bar, we will encourage the home drinker. There ..-.n q e a danger of our women getting drink. {o) Speaking of No-license and endeavouring to show that it was not a success, Mr Maguire used the expression “Simply because it stinks in the nostrils of the people who. have tried it.” (6) Speaking of the Rev. Mr Hammond, he said, “Let me show you on what a low mental plans this man was in advocating Prohibition as he did.” (7) Referring to men who bring religion Into the body politic, he said: "The man with the biggest Bible is generally the biggest fraud. These men are nothing else but a lot of canting, hypocritical humbugs, who are working on the plastic minds of our dear and good women.” (8) Mr Maguire said: “I have listened to your Prohibition speakers, and they start with singing “Onward, Christian Soldiers' 'and they tell us about the poor drunkard and a lot of silly tripe.” In the course of his address Mr Maguire made use of some blasphemous Language, which wo do not care to publish.
