THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
*AND THE N.Z. ALLIANCE
{By Telearavh—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Friday.
"A special meeting of the New Zealand Alliance is being held tonight.' to arrango for what, we believe will be the final campaign," stated the Rev. John Dawson, secretary of the New Zealand Alliance, to a reporter this afternoon. "We shall probably issue a manifesto in the morning." "You are starting early for the next election," suggested tho newspaper man. "Oil, we are going to do our best to influence the second ballot fights," replied the Alliance Secretary. "Our feeling is that the majority in favour of the abolition of the traffic demands that tho next session of Parliament shall remove the liaudicap that is now placed upon the people. We are going to use all our powers to influenco tho second ballot, and seeing that the vote for National Prohibition is so large, tliat is our reason for immediate action. While we were disappointed that no more electorates, went for No-License, wo feel very hopeful that we need only one stride at tlie same ratio of progress to emancipate this country from the liquor traffic.''
