TEMPERANCE CAMPAIGN.
MEETING AT WELLINGTON. Press Association. WELLINGTON, November 28. The Prohibition Party hold a crowded meeting at the Town Hall last night. A large proportion of the audience being opposed to the movement, demonstrated loudly against the speakers, and at one stage tho Mayor had to call the police to the stage. Mr A. K. Atkinson received the best hearing. He said the Trade had stated that Lord Kite lienor had not advised the troops to abstain from liquor. It would be well to quote the exact words. He then read the statement, which included:— "Keep constantly on guard against any excesses. In this new experience you may find temptations both in wine and women; you must entirely resist both temptations."
Mr Atkinson averred that the trade had faked Lord Kitchener's message. A motion declaring the necessity for voting for No-License and Dominion Prohibition was moved. The chairman refused to accept an amendment, whereupon the representatives of the Moderate Party left the hall in a body. , The motion was then put and declared carried unanimously. >
