THE GREAT REFORM.
[Published by Arrangement] RED HERRINGS.
Tme Liquor business is desperately trying to throw the voters off the true scent. It knows that its record of License and Regulation is so bad, so absolutely without excuse, and so cold-blooded in its cruelty to homes and families that if the voters were to think of this record steadily it would be all up with the Liquor Business. So they throw out one red herring after another in an endeavour to confuse the issues and perplex the voter. Their latest red herring is to charge Prohibitionists with hypocrisy. Well, what about that? Supposing every Prohibitionist in New Zealand were a rank hypocrite, does that make the liquor business any less cruel and callous in its record of the last three years ? Does Prohibitionist hypocrisy lessen the Liquor Traffic’s annual tale of 7000 first convictions for drunkenness ? Does it make the Liquor Traffic less deadly to the nation ? Voters ! Keep your eyes fastened on the Liquor Traffic and its doings. It, and no one else, is up for judgment. It is convicted ten times over of crimes against the individual, the home, the business and the State. Your verdict will be given at the Ballot Box. What do yon think of the Liquor Traffic !
