AN INTERESTED PARTY, aIHE Liquor Party havo all at once taken a great interest in OUR health aud prosperity. Oh, no! They do not think of tho thousands of pounds they wish to put into their pockets during the next three years. SELF every time:— ELECTORS, think! Will it ho to your interest to Strike out the Top Line on both papers and turn approximately ■£6,000,000 into life-giving industries, such as the Grocer's, Baker's, Draper's, Bootmaker's, etc., or vote the other way and waste this onormous sum vearlv in supporting a traffic whose FINISHED ARTICLE is one mass of ruined humanity. Business Mori, the ques'tion is:— The Traffic or the People, Which? • (Inserted by a business man at his own expense.) ALCOHOL AND CRIME. T ORD CHIEF JUSTICE HAWKINS. JLJ a distinguished English ' Judge, at Bristol Assizes, in 1886, said:— "There are millions of men who, in their sober moments, are as quiet and well-conducted as men can be, but the moment they get excited by drink, evil intentions and vicious spirits arise within them. Hence, an immense number of men appear in calendars who never would have appeared in them if they had been sober." HUNDREDS OF OTHER JUDGES of the highest rank have, made similar statements, and who should know whether drinking leads to crime or not better thin Judges? THE ELECTORS LOOK to the Liquor Trade advertisements in vain for proof, from high authorities, that alcohol is not the most potent cause of crime in this or any other part of the British Empire. In the everyday experience of ordinary mortals it is a self-evident fact. I Vote For No-License. I Vote For National Prohibition. Every self-respecting man and woman in this Dominion who has the Dominion's best interests at heart will feel it a solemn duty— 1. TO VOTE ON ELECTION DAT. And 2. TO STRIKE OUT THE TOP LINE IN BOTH BALLOT PAPERS. -Advt.
