BARE MAJORITY DEMANDED
WELLINGTON, December 8.
Tho New Zealand Alliance Executive to-night resolved: "That in the opinion of tho Executive oi' the New Zealand Alliance, the time has come for 'emphasising and enforcing the reiterated protests of the 'No-License party against the three-fifths majority required for the carrying of No-License and national prohibition as unjust, undemocratic, and intolerable; that tho Executive reaffirms the demand of the party for tho application to all the issues of tho bedrock democratic principle of majority rule;. and that it considers that no candidate at tho second ballot, to bo decided next week, is deserving of the support of the party which polled more than 260,000 votes on Thursday, who insists upon the 'retention of tho oppressivo handicap of the three-fifths majority."
