Aiasterton Electors. Masterton needs a strong representative in Parliament. A man with the courage of his convictions—not a dumb tool; a man not bound hand and foot to any supreme dictator; a man willing to sacrifice personal convenience to serve faithfully this fair Dominion and to jj promote its advancement and the general welfare of the people. E THEN WAKE UP, ELECTORS !! "' Don't be hoodwinked by the vote-catching cries of "so-and-so is splitting votes" or "so-and-so has the best chance." MATHESON Is undoubtedly the Best Man and he will win; but it is up to you to prove you appreciate a strong man and place him well at the ° Top of the Poll! .- MATHESON SPEAKS AT a r MASTERTON—Open-air, P. 0., Tuesday, December 16, at 7.45 p.m..

The German leaders, by lies and misrepresentation, deceived the people and led the nation to defeat. The Liquor leaders, by a torrent of lies and misrepresentation, are seeking to mislead the people of New Zealand. WHY ARE THEY LYING? Why are they spending tens of thousands of pounds to keep the bars open? Is it because they care for freedom? Is it because they care for the welfare of your children? Is it because they love the country? IT IS BECAUSE THEY WANT YOUR MONEY!

SIR CHAS. TOPPER'S OPINION. "A PRODUCER OF PERJURY AND DECEIT." The Hon. Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, K.C., K.C.M.G., LLJB., Sworn Member Pttvy Council, late Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Minister of Justice, Solicitor-General of Canada, Agent HJM Government, BehringSea Arbitration, etc, VANCOUVER, 8.C., October 3rd, 1919. To the Electors of New Zealand, — I have been requested to express my opinion as to whether Prohibition in Canada has been a success. I $m personally opposed on principle to legislation prohibiting the use of alcoholic stimulants, though I strongly favour stringent regulations of' the liquor trade. My experience of the so-called "Prohibitory Liquor Law" in the Province of British Columbia has confirmed my views. Total Prohibition is not only contrary to the practice sanctioned by Holy Writ, but is contrary to the history of a large portion of the civilised world, and particularly the history of British legislation. Indeed, the use of alcoholic stimulants is recognised in our Act in the case of the. Church, the Sick, and Science. The manufacturo is therefore essential. By reason of the prohibitive enactments, many have been unable to obtain stimulants where essential to health and life. .No law can bo effective which offends the sense of a considerable and respectable portion of the people, and no penal law, no prohibitive liquor law has, so far as I am aware, prevented wealthy men escaping its provisions. It bears therefore unequally upon and distinguishes between rich and poor. Such a law cannot long stand. The attempt at enforcement in the Province of British Columbia has been a veritable farce. It has produced perjury and deceit of all kinds and therefore tends to brings laws generally into contempt. Since this Act was prom ulgated, wo have seen the Police Force largely increased, and at the same time the growth of the business of the "blind pig" and "bootlegger" established, with corruption and dishonesty rapidly increasing. I firmly believe the present law will bo repealed. . . . " Yours faithfully, CHARLES HIBBERT TUPPER.
