Why : 'Pa3f' 'bo^iiS^TibH? QUESTION.—Why pay £4,500,000 to the Liquor-Trade? ANSWER: l_To prevent the country from having to pay the ' "Trade" £6,00000 for Goodwill an d an additional £9,000,000 for the properties should State Purchase and Control be carried at the General Election. (There is no limit in the Act to the * amount to be paid to the Trade for State Purchase.) 0 P^vent the payment of £5,000,000 every year to the "Trade"-if Continuance be carried. - 3—To save the £5,000,000 to £10,000,000 a year loss through inefficiency caused by liquor. 4—To save the thousands of convictions for drunkenness every year. J .s—To save the shame and humiliation to the families of those convicted. 6.—-To save the incalculable loss to the country caused by the •Trade" in crime, lunacy, sickness, and general moral degradation. 7—To save thousands of children of whom the "Trade" will make its finished products—drunkards. QUESTION—What • does £4,500,000 mean? ANSWER—One penny per week per head of our population will provide a sum sufficient to pay interest and establish n sinking fund to pay off the prinicpal. QUESTION—WouId any voter grudge one penny per week to obtain for our country the least of the above savings? ANSWER—Let each voter's conscience dictate the reply.

FINAL WARNINC.

The Prohibition Party does not claim to have made no mistakes in. this liquor fight. , . . It does claim not to have knowingly made any mis-statements. It regrets the need to point out that the Liquor Party has been guilty of distinctly dishonourable tactics. What Dr. Valintine described as its "impudent use of my name" in the bogus proclamation about influenza —its deliberate cooking of the cable about the release ,of spirits in Great Britain—its quotation of statements made nine years ago by Mr Massey and Sir Joseph Ward that extra taxation would follow Prohibition as though they were made on the recent Licensing Act-yits deceptive use of the name of the Chief Justice and of the V.M.C.A. —its flagrantly false figures about Maine (certified as false by the editor of "The - DominionI")—and its equally false statement about America having repudiated Prohibition s>y a majority of 250,000 BRAND IT AS ABSOLUTELY UNWORTHY OF BELIEF. It is certain to publish other alarmist statements with some semblance of truth, but as false as the above^ —such as cables from overseas —opinions of apparently or really eminent men —state-

ments undated (nearly always old but quoted as new)—so-called financial statements—so-called testimony about the.i mlure of Inhibition. +1. I- esaue 'ayd ' in deed, any made by the liquor party >_*.>- * ELECTORS ARE WARNED NOT TO ACCifIPT unless they can verify. If the "Trade" advertises what it claims to Be testimonies from Canada remember— . SIR ROBERT BORDEN, Prime Minister of the Dominion, says: "Prohibition as a provincial measure has been in force in eight out of nine provinces sufficiently long to realise and confirm expectations of great ■'benefits, moral, commercial, and industrial, consequent on its enforcement," and Governments and Premiers of individual States corrobor-! ate this testimony. The answer to all mis-statements! about America is that FORTY-FIVE OUT OF FORTY-EIGHT STATES1 HAVE DECLARED FOR PERMANENT PROHIBITION after the. State election in November last had been fought on this issue. !
