STRAIGHT TALK FOR ELECTORS.

IIOW WILL YOU .VOTE? (Published l>y Arrangement.) JTavc you thought of voting: for Masseyism? Do you not know Hint Ma=sevism is only the Conservatism of "the nineties'' very slightly disguised? fln you not know that Jfnssey and his friends a generation am opposed Land and Income Tax and Old Ago Pensions and every other progressive demncalic measure thr.t Liberalism could devise? Hon- can yon expect progress or just legislation or impartial administration from a party wilili. such a record? When jrasseyism asks you lo trust it to-day. remember thai; the party for which it. now stands—the party 1 which still includes All', illassey and .Sir James Allen and Sir William Fraser, Conservatives all wlk'ii Ballnnco - and Seddon v,e"e fighting for the people's right?—has always opposed Democracy and Miat it is too late in the day for "death-lied repentance," the onlv sign of grace that Masseyism is over likely to give. Have you though of voting for Labour? Bo careful what you do! There aro sano and wiso and patriotic men in the Tanks of Labour, but there are few of them among the Labour leaders—fow at least among tho blatant, bullying, ferocious minority that shout louder than tho rank and file, and fill the largest space in the public eye. Will you trust your fortunes and the fate of those nearest and dearest to you and Ihe future of your country—"the finest little country in the world"—lo the men who refused to 'help the cause of Liberty and Justice in the Great War, the men who have avowed themselves the friends and champions of Bolshevism, lilio most brutal form o( despotism that ever disgraced humanity? What yill become of Democracy and Freedom in New Zealand if once such men as theso gain power? Take heed what you do 011 polling day!
