LICENSING POLL.
THE WOMEN’S VOTE. (Received 12, 10.55 a.m.) Sydney, December 12. The' “Telegraph” states that there is ground for believing that the heavy Prohibition poll in New Zealand is a significant illustration of the working men’s vote. The drink evil particularly injures women as a sox, because of its effects upon male relatives and the homos. Women were the natural keepers of the community’s social well being. Hitherto the actual effect of women’s franchise had been in doubt. Responsibility was now evidently gripping them in regard to such an issuo as prohibition.
WAITEMATA FIGURES. A.uckland, December 12. Complete returns for the Waitemata licensing poll; Continuance 3266, No-liccnse 3856; against National Prohibition 2970, for 4065.
