Fail’ play is Biutish! What then do you think of Iho Lupinr Petition which gives the Trade a 3 lo 1 chance against Prohibition? Read what happens under its proposals •—if National Prohibition does not secure a majority it fails, but if National Conlimmnco also does not secure a majority, it wins (for, no issue having secured a majority, the Trade continues). To see how absolutely undemocratic is the proposal asked for by the Trade’s Pcthion, apply it to an election of members. Let Mr White represent National Prohibition, Mr Red National (’)wnership, and Mr Black National Continuance, and make it compulsory for the winning candidate to secure a majority of the total votes cast. What would the other candidates say, and what would the voters say, if Mr Black won if he secured a majority and also won if neither he nor Mr White nor Mr Red secured a majority? That is “The Trade’s” Proposal. It wins if National Continuance is carried; it wins if National Ownership is carried; it wins if No Issue is carried. “Heads I win, tails you lose” is child’s play beside it. If you think' so sign the N.Z. Alliance Petition and refuse to sign that on behalf of Liepior. If you have signed the latter under a misapprehension ask your M.P. to have your name removed, or scud word to’the N.Z. Alliance representative at once.* 29
