high qualities which once made it a powerful and valuable influence in our public affairs. It has had its day, and is a surplusage in the political field—a menace in so far as it confuses the issue for moderate voters, and assists the Labour-Socialists by causing vote-splitting. The Only Alternative to a Government under Mr. Coates is a Labour-Socialist Government. This is simple fact. Looking forward with a Labour-Socialist Government in office the people of New Zealand would be faced with a grave and disquieting future. Confidence would vanish. The Labour-Socialist Party is dominated by a little group of dangerous theorists. It thrives on the malicious propagation of class prejudice and sectional hatred. It is narrow and bigoted, and when opportunity offers, despotic and tyrannical. Its policy threatens the security of all classes by a reckless attempt to upset existing British institutions, and to substitute therefor the experimental theories of fanatical foreign cranks. It would rob the farmer and the house-owner of his title to his land under a specious plea of state interests. It would aim at the overthrow of what it calls “Capital,” and menace the savings of the people. It would cripple individual effort and individual enterprise, large or small alike, and make easy the road to all the evils of Communism. Looking forward to a Labour-Socialist Government in office must occasion the deepest concern to every thoughtful man and woman in New Zealand. It would mean Confidence gone Turmoil and Unrest—lnsecurity for all. Looking forward to a Labour-Socialist Government formed from the present ill-equipped, unbalanced Labour-Socialist Party, would mean looking into a future filled with dark possibilities inimical to the prosperity and well-being of the great bulk of the people of New Zealand, threatening our Imperial relations, and imperilling the magnificent prospects of productive development which now lie immediately ahead. The safe course stands out plain and clear. Look forward with Confidence by supporting at the coming Election only those Candidates who support Coates, the man you can trust—“the man who gets things done.”
