Beware of the Liquor Traffic’s Petition For their so-called “Fair, Just and Reasonable” Poll It Asks for Three Issues — 1. National Continuance 2. National Ownership 3. National Prohibition Every Voter to vote for One Issue Only. No Issue to be carried unless it secures a majority of the total votes cast on the three issues. How it would work; If National Continuance j >. UR_ C secures a majority - toe liduc tf If National Ownership TL T , secures a majority - lilC IrauC ff IDS If No Issue secures a m i nr* majority - - - The Trade Wins For the Traffic will continue as at present Liquor Demands a Three-to-one Chance Is it FAIR, JUST and REASONABLE? LOOK! 500,000 Electors would probably vote (Number of votes required to secure a bare majority, 250,001) If 250,000 voted for National Prohibition, 150,000 voted for National Ownership, 100,000 voted for National Continuance, NO ISSUE secures the necessary number —therefore the present position remains, and Continuance wins, although 400,000 votes were cast against it. IT is “FAIR” that every Voter have a Vote. IT is “JUST” that the vote be on a Bare Majority. IT is “REASONABLE” and imperative that tk« - Liquor Traffic be settled. Sign the Alliance Petition for a Poll This Year on the basis of the National Efficiency Board’s * Recommendation The “ALLIANCE” PETITION has not been withdrawn. The "TRADE" PETITION is not a Government Petition. The “ALLIANCE" does not pay canvassers so much per hundred signatures. The “ALLIANCE" desires only genuine signatures. Do Not Be Misled!
