It is necessary to nail several rumours which the supporters of the Liquor Trade's counter Petition have assiduously circulated of late. The N.Z. Alliance Petition -,]has not been withdrawn—it is gaining thousands of new supporters every day, although it still needs yours if 3-ou have not already-signed it. The, Liquor Trade's Petition is not a Government Petition. It is a Trade Petition pure and simple—whereas the Alliance Petition asks for a poll on the recommendations of an absolutely impartial body, set up by the Government itself to investigate and report on measures necessary to secure increased .National Efficiency. ~f T )le Trade's Petition is neither fair," "just," nor "reasonable." It gives tji.) Liquor Trade a three-to-one chance of winning. It would secure Continuance even if out of 500,000 votes 256,000 were in favour of Na«ior.al. Prohibition and 150,000 ,in favour of National Ownership. If the votes were thus cast the 100,000 would win although 400,000 were against, Continuance Sign the N.Z. Alliance Petition and refuse to sign that on. behalf of Liquor. If you have signed the latter under a misapprehension atk your M.P. to have your name removed or send word to the N.Z. Alliance representative at once.*
