'SUPER-GOVERNMENT' MENACE.

l : TACTICS OF N.Z. ALLIANCE. . „ „ , -7— . Among the Members of Parliament pledged to the New Zealand Alliance are a number who represent "Continuance" constituencies. This, m itself, jg sufficient indication of the u'ndemocratic policy, of the Alliance, in.at-tempting-to force its, opinions over the heads of the people. As the "Christ-! cnUrch "Press" said- m a recent editorial, "there is no danger that prohibition will be carried by popular votG( but there ig a rlgk that pronibl. tion • fanaticism may seriously dis-= locate the mechanism of politics, and the threats of the Alliance must ;be resented by all supporters of repre-. sentative Government." The- New Zea]and ; Zea^nd- « has only one avowed obJect—the overthrow of the Licensed Trade, and so long as it can persuade a Member of Parliament to support it, not care a rap about hl(j yiews on, important Questions with which the country has to deal. Its policy :■.--„,,•■ . ... . „. is to flood Parliament with m6n of its

own choice, who, they hope, will be able to "put prohibition over" without I the question being' submitted; to the electors at all. New Zealanders should give an emphatic declaration on Polling Day that they resent such attempts to tamper with the men whom they send to represent them m Parliament.* fi
