Don't bo misled! The Liquor Petition does not provide a fair opportunity of expressing your judgment on the Liquor question. / It is designed to trap the unwary. It professes to be democratic, but i s in reality one of the most undemocratic proposals ever submitted to the people. It professes to give an equal ohanco to each of the three issues; it advocates. It really provides that the votes on the proposals, National Continuance and National Ownership fchall be counted against • National Prohibition, and if the latter cannot win against the other two, then, although neither of these has won, the I Trade will go on as usual. In a word ISFational Prohibition may fail to win. (National-Continuance may fail to win and yet- National Continuance has still won. This looks suspiciously like a loaded dice game. 1 f you think so, the New Zealand Alliance Peitition and refute to sign that on 1 hohnlf of Liquor. If yon have signed th<) latter under a misapprehension, ask your M.P. to have your name i removed or ''end word to the N.Z. Alliance representative at once. 27
