of New Zealand The watchword of Liberalism is—- " The Greatest Good of the Greatest possible Number." The policy of Liberalism is—- " Government of the people by the people for the people." 'lt is to Liberalism that you owe— Adult Suffrage. Female Franchise. Old Age Pensions. Land for Settlement Act. Cheap Money for Farmers and Workers. Compensation for Accident. Without Liberalism you would have had no such system as that which has abolished sweating, has given ycu higher wages, shorter hours, and better conditions of work, and thus by orderly and constitutional methods promoted your prosperity and cleared the way for Industrial Peace. Beforethe dawn of Liberalism, New Zealand hadnoneof these things. that when, a generation ago the pioneers of 1 Liberalism claimed all these things for you, the Masseyites of those days setlheir faces sternly against Democracy and all its works. jßeineinbcr l^at t 0 r- Masseyand Sir James Allen and •———*■■ " *■""—• Sir William Fraser and their friends—- " Old Age Pensions were "pauper doles," Land for Setllement was "barefaced robbery,"and Advances to Settlers was "pawnbroking." These Conservative gentlemen in those days could see nothing in the Liberal policy but the criminal lunacy of "The Seven Devils of Socialism," —"revolution and anarchy"—"red ruin and the breaking up of laws." To-day tljey are "more democratic than the democrats;" —and why? the Elections are at hand! WORKERS OF THE TOWNS! WORKERS ON THE LAND!

LIBERALISM has aided the shearer and lhe milker and the ploughman as generously as it has helped the man at the loom, the man at the bench and the man at lhe forge—it has given a hand to "the man with the hod," as freely as to "the man with the hoc." LIBERALISM throughout its long and glorious career has kept steadfastly in view the rights of the people, not considered sectionally but regarded as a v/hole. ..•'■■ ■ •• ■' LIBERALISM In its outlook admits no rivalry between castes and classes, no local and social dist/nctions, no antagonism between Country and Town—in its eyes all alike are the people, and its one aim is the Common Weal. LIBERALISM has consistently enacted democratic measures, inspired by democratic principles employing democratic methods to attain the ' one great democratic end — lhe Common Good of All. LIBERALISM once more places before you a great constructive programme—a policy of enterprise and development and progress which will carry on the splendid Liberal traditions of the past to a yet more prosperous and fortunate future. WORKERS OF NEW ZEALAND! LIBERALISM has conferred upon you benefits and advantages of. inestimable value that Conservatism long and obstinately denied you — See that you guard your heritage ! , .*., ,: . : ? r IN THE NAME OF PROGRESS AND FREEDOM, ! for .
