(Advt.) EXTRACT FROM THE "NEW ZEALAND TABLET," 15th Nov., 1917. A Worjj to Protestants Some time or "oMier there'HMH■'■be a general election. It frill nob happen as long as the present Parliament can cling to their jobs," but it w ill come lat-er.'We-wish''to ask our 1 Catho|ic : voters not to forget to' remember how some of itiheir representatives voted recently. You Catholics of Taranaki are numerically strong, and it would be no harm Jf you used your strength against the men. who voted for Howard Elliott—for that is really what ifc cornea to—when Mr Massey. like a loyal Orangeman, led the bigots against the Brothers. The Catholics of Timaru also have need to examine their consciences. What, return has the illustrious Mr Craigie made for your support P How hag he kept his pledges? But of course we should be foolish to think that pledges or "scraps of paper" matter to many men in that gallery. While . remembering these things in our hearts, let us not forget the men who stood for < principle, and defied the wild wowser and his threats. Messrs Isitt, Walker and Witty shall not be forgotten if Catholics have any memory for political honesty and upright conduct. Finally, if a>'i a time when it seemed thai we had not a man to save us from' the tyranny of Sir James Allen, K.C.8., ■.we reminded Sir Joseph Ward that people were expecting more from him, we" now welcome the opportunity to express our admiration for the stand he has made for justice and principle against bigotry and Orangiam. As long as he maintains such a firm a"fctitude he will have the support of every man in New Zealand whose support is worth having even though he should lose the favor of people whose opposition is a testimonial to him.
