It is liecejsiu'y to nail several rumours which the supporters of the Liquor Trade's counter-petition have assiduously circulated of lute. - The NAlliance Petition has . not ten withdrawn—it is saining .thousand* of. new supporters every day, although it still needs yours if you have not already signed it. The Liquor Trade's Petition is not a Government Petition. J t is a Trade Petition pure and simple—whereas the Alliance Petition asks for a poll on tho recommendations of an absolutely impartial hod.v, set up h.v tho Government it-f-clf to investigate and report on measures necessary to secure increased National Efficiency. The Trade's Petition is neither "fair," "just," nor. "reasonable." It gives tho Liquor Tmdo a threc-to-one chance of winning. It would secure Continuance even if out of 5(30-000 voters 250,000 were in favour of National Prohibition and 150,000 in favour of National Ownership. If the votes were thus cast the 100,000 would win, although '100,000 were against Continuance. Sign the N.fl. Alliance Petition and refuse to sign thai mi liehalf of Liquor. If you have signed the latter undev a misapprehension, ask your M.P. to have your name removed or send word to t'ho N7i. Alliance representative at once.— Advfc.
