VME ELECTSONS WHAT IS AT STAKE ? Mazzini defined democracy as "the progress of all, through all, under the leading of the wisest and the best." That, briefly put, is the -issue to be decided at the ballot box on November 30th. The decision will not rest with those.who are devote.es of either party, but with the "man in the bowler hat"— the ordinary citizen who cares 'more for the welfare of the State than for the triumph of an ephemeral political organisation. The safety o£ the State, the good of the whole bo'dy of citizens and "the progress of all" degend upon the principles which underlie political action rather than upon the immediate "bread and butter" benefits that are so commonly discussed today.

Their application to nationai social life resulted in the founding of our British system of justice, our Parliamentary institutions, our nationai system of education, our political, social and persondl freedom, and the development of character that has won for the Britisher, his sons and his daughters, a moral infiuence throughout the world's peoples, • ■ . - .

Under the application of these principles this Dominion has had a century of wonderful progress. If that progress is to continue, the electors must secure the return of "the wisest and the best" to Parliament. Who are they— to which Party do they belong? They may belong to either Party. They are men who believe in and are prepared to maintain and defend these great British Protestant principles. Men without divided allegiance who are proud of the Union Jack. They are known to electors in each electorate.
