THIS CONCERNS YOU I ! ■ '•■.' i .■■,■■■'.• . • ■ ■ •.. _ f, I ; "In this, almost our final appeal to the Electors, space doss not permit of detailed argument; indeed wc believe that It is < not required. Never before in Wellington have the Electors been subjected to such a bombardment from Press I and Platform, and we-compliment them on their patient forbearance, and hope to have made a successful appeal ; to their better judgment. . :! We desire,, however, to ifsefly. review the progress of the fight. | Gold from the coffers of wealthy brewing firms both of New Zealand and Great Britain has been poured out like water. •> :.. and.British ideas of truth and fair play.have bean violated by wilful and persistent misstatement and mis- - ;. representation.by the Trade's Advocate in advertisements paid for by the Trade. * '.'. And what have these "star" advertisements set forth? Have they made one honest attempt to deal with the Drink •' ....,.' . , Problem fairly and squarely? ' | Is there among them one single advertisement that would do credit to any business concern in the Dominion, let alone \ one that sets out to instruct the public in the way of Truth and Justice? [i To both of these questions the public will undoubtedly reply "No." \ Instead the Trade has spent thousands of pounds— l I IN PROCLAIMING ABOMINABLE LIES CONCERNING MAINE. I [.'.:'. IN ATTACKING THE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES AND MINISTERS, s | IN MAKINC PERSONAL ATTACKS ON THE LEADERS OF THE NO-LICENSE MOVEMENT, £ i IN ATTACKING MRS. H. BARTON IN HER ABSENCE.

IN QUOTING CORRUPT AMERICAN GOVERNORS, ETC. \ \~ '"''■ IN MISQUOTING MANY PROMINENT MEN IN THIS AND PAST GENERATIONS. *' \ IN .PROCLAIMING ANTIQUATED ARGUMENTS ABOUT LBBERTY. 5 IN SUBSTITUTING QUIBBLING AND STRAW-SPLITTING FOR HONEST ARGUMENT ON ANY AMn | EVERY OCCASION. " H " T MNU \ | The No-License League, on the other hand, in,advertisements and platform speeches, has set out the facts and shown ' in detail the reiationhips existing "between Intoxicating Drink and Crime, Drink and Poverty, Drink and Race ? | Degeneracy, Drink and Mortality, Brink and Immorality, Drink and Insanity and Suicide, "Drink and Unem. X ployment. \ \ It has set out the truth about the Revenue Question, and the numerous other Bogies which the prolific imagination nf '' I the "Trade" has brought forth; and given the lie to their oft-repeated assertion that "Maine has fallen "and <• j that No-License in Masterton and Invercargill, Clutha, Ashburton and Oamaru, and all other "drv" distrirfe was a miserable failure. * malrM < l!, jj One instance of how the "Trade" "fakes" are manufactured to prove "No-License a failure" makes interesting reading I We reproduce below a Press Association telegram appearing in yesterday's "Dominion.".

Feilding, November 29, i I ■'".'."'.'..'' '-Recently the Eer. Mr. Hammond, Mo-License lecturer, in speaking at Feilding-, V | ..' "" stated that a pictorial advertisement of empty shops, etc., in Masterton was false s £ 'and misleading. ILr. 11. M'Manaw'ay, president of the local Licensed Victuallers' ! | challenged' Mr. Hammond on the point, and said that he would give £25 t t to the hospital-if the advertisement was false. Two adjudicators were then appointed l I , to, examine matters,..these being Messrs. TV.- J. B. Trewin (bamster and ex-Mayor), i I ', aAd H. M'lntyre, M.A., LL.B. They proceeded to Masterton on Saturday to inves- }. 1 ' tigate, and presented their" judgment to-day. '{ | . It is to the effect that one of the premises was photographed twice, and made I * fo appear like'two shops, and the occupier of the one had moved to larger premises. £ 1 . ... ~■-.. Auother picture—the Geiltral Hotel—is occupied by two businesses, at a rent of i'U \ f, '■"'"'' 10s. per week.; The photograph in the advertisement had been taken in the days of ! | license, as the ,front had been altered since. Long's Meat Mart was empty, but |i I Mr. Long had removed to a'larger shop. The Temple. Chambers had never been | I empty. • -| I The statements of bankruptcies included those from outside the elect oral district. | | The statement that the Caledonian Society had lost £61 was false, as they had made 1 | a £61 profit on St. Patrick's Day Association. They did not succumb through No- | I License. j| l A certain photograph of empty bottles was suspected of hav'ing been taken prior fi I; to JNo-License. The statement that people hud lost faith in Masterton had no foun- a |i? dation. , • a Mr. Hammond therefore wins. a ti The League now leaves the matter in the hands of the Electors with the conviction that it has done its best in the in- I \i terests of the community, and with a great hope that the community will now work out its own salvation on % Polling Day. | f THE CAUSE IS RIGHT—AND RiCHT IS MIGHT. j f THEN PLAY THE MAN AND WIN THE FIGHT.
