Rev. E. Whitehouse.
VICAR OF ASHBURTON,
SAYS HE COULD NOT VOTE CONTINUANCE,
In the course of a speech delivered in Christchurch, on September 4th, 1908, the Rev. E. Whitehouse said; —There are three issues, “ Continuance,” “Reduction,” and “NoLicense.” I could not vote “Continuance.” (Hear, hear.) A man need not be a Prohibitionist, or even a total abstainer, to feel how imperatively some reform is needed in our drinking customs. (Hear, hear.) I don’t envy the man who can sec his friends and neighbours, the hopeful companions of his youth, it may be the members of his own family, fall one by one victims to a loathsome and deadly disease, and hug himself in his security, and say, “ Thank God, I’m not susceptible ; it doesn’t affect me.” Such a feeling is only possible to the man who votes “ Continuance.” I could not vote for it.
