A similar discreditable trick is resorted to in tfra Liquor Party's advertisement yesterday in the comparison, ■between the growth of population in. license Timaru and no-license Invercargill between the years 1906 and 1911. The population of Timaru seems to have increaasd more rapidly than that, of InvHicargiJ. BUT WHY ? The Liquor Party does not tell you that between, those years the Timaru Borough Council enaargtd tola borough boundary, taking m a wide area' containing a considerable population. The increase of population is thus more apparent than, .real. The L ; quor- Parity dops not tell you that bet.veen 1911 and 1916 the population of Timaru only increased by 962 .while the population of Invercargill' increased by 1,699. ; Th>3 Liquor Party do(3s "not tell you that the Mayor and 150 leading citizens off Invea-caxgill signed a manifesto regarding the no-license period and said: "line grdWth and progress of tha town has been greater THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE ITS FOUNDATION."
