(Published by Arrangement.) WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE CONTINUANCE.

Whoever it was who first inspired the official Prohibitionists to create the mirage of “the liquor traffic” was a publicity expert pf extreme artfulness,. But lie forgot one thing. He forgot that when the time comes to take off the gloves and fight the Prohibition . question tooth and nail FACTS are apt to pversh.adbw artificial “stunts.” •

Because the fact is, ,the Prohibition Party is no more in combat with a .“liquor traffic” than th« Continuance Party is opposed to Temperance. There is no such thing as a “liqubr traffic” in New Zealand. “Traffic” in liquor comes only with Prohibition. The Prohibitionist enforcement officer, the bootlegger, and the peddler, of deadly “moonshine”—the inevitable offspring fo Prohibition—are the only traffickers .in liquor. This is no mere hair-splitting. Ttae constant reiteration of. the term "liquor traffic” is a deliberate ruse to deceive those who are susceptible to the lure of words. Every penny spent in the-attempt,to foist Prohibition on this, country is a penny spent in inviting the very worst form of liquor “traffic” ever conceived-

It is not a case of what you think or I think ; the facts cannot be avoided. All over the face of the United States are written the lines of sorrow, debauchery, and crime—caused by the unnatural, deceitful thing called Prohibition.

Do not be deceived by the sentimental “bogies” of the paid Prohibitionists. Vote according to the proven facts.* 3
