Only the Top Line.
There are many public houses causing misery to-day which would have been closed three years ago if every nolicense voter had struck out only the top line on the voting paper. By striking out the top line which reads thus : “ I vote that the number of licenses in this district continue,” and leaving both the other lines on the voting paper, you vote “ no-license.” If there are not sufficient no-license votes to close all the hotel bars in the district, then the second line is counted for reduction.
Try to make all your friends understand clearly that Only the Top Line should be struck out. On the back page of this issue we have given an illustration shewing the line that is to be struck out.
