Speaking from my own observation as well as from knowledge acquired by me as a member of the United States Senate, I do not hesitate to say that National Prohibition in the United States has been nothing less than a tragic failure. It has promoted social demoralization especially among the young, general disregard for law, official corruption and bloodshed. If the people in New Zealand value personal liberty, social decency, obedience to law, official purity and human lifq, they should not fail to bear in mind the passionate utterance of Edmund Burke, which I so often quote "Never, no never, did Nature say one thing and Wisdom say another." Yours truly, Keep out such Lawlessness and Corruption VOTE CONTINUANCE I vote for National Continuance 4-veto-fep- ■toE-ftWSE ■ ANO-ftpiflfc J-wte for NflTlONftt-teMW- " You must strike out TWO lines.” “ Strike out the two bottom lines.”
