NO-LICENSE IN INVERCARGILL.
MILITATED AGAINST BUSINESS. NO HELP TO THE TEMPERANCE CAIJSE. TESTIFIED TO BY 100 BUSINESS MEN. The following telegram appeared as a special in last night's "Evening Post":— INVERCARGILL, This Day. The visit of the Rev. W. Thomson, anti-prohibition advocate, has stirred up the liquor question fervour a good deal. Over one hundred business men in the town have put their names to and published the following declaration:—"We, the undersigned electors of Invercargill, solemnly affirm that No-License has decidedly militated against the business of the town, which is much quieter than under license, and that it has not helped the, temperance cause." Electors of Masterton should not . require any further argument to prove that No-License in Invercargill has proved a failure. The very candid pronouncement contained in the above telegram should convince every business man in Masterton that No-License means decidedly' less business, a much quieter town, whilst the temperance cause would not be helped. *
