To the Electors of Otaki "jVfI'EN AND WOMEN,—The Gencral Election is once more approaching; you ore again being asked to select a representative in Parliament. From the workers' point in view, both the older political oarties have failed; in our cities slums are beginning to appear, find tho necessaries of life are 'harder to obtain. Li the country the landhunger is more intense, while every year access to land becomes more difficult. By continuing the policy of the past (for which both parties claim the credit) wo are fast reproducing in this new country the oame evils which are associated with the lives of the workers in the -older countries. The time is now ripe for the entry into politics of a workingclass party pledged to work for the emancipation of ALL labour. This will bring New Zealand once more to the front in the world's march onward towards industrial democracy. The people are tired of a Ward Government, and are afraid to trust a Massey Administration. Why not rote for a working-class one? As a step towards it SUPPORT THE LABOUR CANDIDATE.
