THE NEW ZEALAND ELECTIONS.
6 WOMEN AND THE LIQUOR POLL. By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyrighl Sydney, December 12. The "Daily Telegraph" states that there is ground for believing that the heavy Prohibition poll in New Zealand is a significant illustration of the working men's vote. The drink evil particularly injures woman as a sex, because of the effects upon the male relatives and the homes. Women are the natural keepers of communities' social well-being. Hitherto the actual effect of women's franchise has been in doubt; their responsibility is now evidently gripping them in regard to such an issue as Prohibition. SIR WILLIAM RUSSELL'S VIEWS. (Rco, December 13, 0.35 a.m.) Melbourne, December 12. Sir William Russell, of New Zealand, on being interviewed here, said ho thought the New Zealand Opposition would win on the second ballot. ■ Ho considered that the close result of the Prohibition poll did not represent the true opinion of the people as in spilo of temperance legislation statistics showed that the consumption of alcohol per capita of tho population had not diminished.
