e essa 1 VOU know what the shipping strike has meant to farmers and their wives and fam- ■ ilies. If it had been a complete success it would have held up here in New Zealand all your produce. You would have missed the regular markets, and a glut would have been created which would have meant the ruin of many and injury of all. Even now it is grfng to prove a costly matter to you all. Communism at Work. The strike is the work of Communist agents employed to injure, and if they can, bring ruin to the British Empire. It is merely part of a great and monstrous scheme. The Communists used the seamen as their tools to injure us. The seamen's dispute had nothing to do with us here in New Zealand, but the New Zealand Labour-Sociatist Party, by their action or inaction, encouraged it. Instead of considering the interests of New Zealand—-that is to say your interests they sympathised with the strikers in holding up the farmers’ produce. There is no dpubt about this. They only had to say “we will not support you, and the seamen would have had to take their dispute home to be settled in the Old Country where it belongs. Instead, however, the Labour-Socialist Party played into the hands of the Communists who are seeking to bring about the downfall of our Empire. Farmers’ Liberty Attacked. That sime Labour-Socialist Party is making a deliberate and concerted attack on the Liberties of the farmer by seeking to take away his right to the freehold of his land. At the same time the farmer is to be prevented from selling his land to anyone but the State—and mark this—the State is to fix the price to be paid. What is more, whatever that price may be it is to be paid not in cash, but only in paper bonds issued by the precious Labour-Socialist Government when it gets into office. That is where your opportunity comes in. You can prevent these evils being inflicted on New Zealand if you vote wisely at the coming elections. Strong Government Needed. Sf 4 s I / 10A h The one »fe and sure protection against the efforts of the Communists and the Labour Extremists is to elect a sane Government, with a strong man at the head of it. The one strong and sound political Leader in the country to-day is the Hon. J. Gordon Coates. He has been farmer, citizen, soldier, Minister of the Crown, and Prime Minister in turn, and in every job he has tackled he has made it a success. Give him a sufficient majority and your interests and the in terests of the country will be well safeguarded. Note this carefully.—You can only be certain of placing Mr. Coates in charge of your affairs as Prime Minister by voting for the candidate in your electorate pledged to support him. No Middle Course. There may be people who will try to persuade you that you can vote safely for a Country Party or a National Party candidate, and still get a strong and safe Government.' You have only to look at the political situation to see the folly of this. Neither the Country Party nor the National-Liberal Party, as it now calls itself, has any prospect of forming a Government. All that their candidates are doing by standing against Coates’s candidates is to split votes and play into the hands of the Labour-Socialists. The position then is as plain as can be. You can only be certain that your vote will count for safety and security by voting for the Coates candidate in your electorate. Coates stands not only for security, but he is the live and active spirit in our politics to-day, “the man who gets things done.” A Coates Government means a new era of active progress for New Zealand, in which the farmer and the farmer’s wife and family will fully share. A rote for any of these Candidates is a Vote for Coates : Waikato —D. Stewart Reid, Ngahinapouri, Waikato. Waitomo —J. C. Rolleston, M.P., Te 'Kuiti. Hamilton—J. A. Young, M.P., Hamilton Rotorua—F. F. Hockly, M.P., Rotorua. Raglan—Hon. R. F. Bollard, M.P., Wellington. VOTE FOR COATES &SECURUY
