WAIKATO.
A rumour was industriously circulated round town last week that reduction had been carried in the Waikato by three votes. The amended returns were published last Friday, and show the voting to have resulted: For continuance 2991,. reduction 3016, and no-license 3652, informal votes 191 : total voters 6704. Reduction was, therefore, 336 votes short, a difference from the rumoured number that is most reassuring. It is reported that the Alliance members of the Waikato are already organising to contest the local option poll three years hence, and have started a “bob in” fund, everyone allowed to shout. Promises have been made of 1000 shillings monthly during the three years. The shillings: will follow the promises later on.
