THE DANGER

It is not likely that the electors of Wellington North have overlooked a very significant feature of Mr. Holland's candidature disclosed in his election advertisements, but it is perhaps worth a little attention to-day as a last reminder of the issuo at stake. Who arc the men who are rallying to Mr. Holland's assistance in this struggle 1 Are they the men to whom the loyal electors of Wellington North would turn to promote the interests of the Dominion in this time of peril and crisis 1 Are they the men who' would bo expected to stir the patriotic impulses of tho people and stimulate that splendid spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion to the cause of liberty and freedom: for which men of tho British raco the world over are fighting and dying to-day while you cast your votes'! Who arc theso champions who have come forward to persuade the electors of Wellington North .to make Mr. Holland their representative in Parliament? You can read their names in Mr. Holland's election- advertisements. 11 n; P. C. Webb, M.P., who has been so much in the public eye since ho was called in the ballot to fight for his country, is one of Mr. Holland's stalwarts. Mr. AVebb is a shining example for the patriotic electors of Wellington North. Then there is Mr. Parey, who, if we remember correctly, first camo into proniincnco in connection with the Waihi strike; and there is Mr. Semfle and other gentlemen-whose public utterances in connection with the war will not be unfamiliar to most readers of the daily Press. ThcEft are some of the leading spirits behind Mr. Holland's candidature, and behind them.are their records. Do the electors of Wellington North, whatever 'their station in life, want to see these men and what they stand for given encouragement and support at a time like this? This is the danger which confronts tho electors in this contest to-day owing to Me. Brandon coming forward and splitting tho votes of tho supporters of the National cause. There is only one certain way of meeting and overcoming that danger. Every man and woman who wishes to striko a blow against the possibility of a revival of the strife and dissension which Mr. Holland and his friends stand for should sink all other considerations and vote loyally and unitedly for Mr. Luke and the National. Government.
