THE NEW CABINET.
(To the Editor "Stratford Post."} Sir, —Your cortrespondent "Fair Play" is evidently of the "Trade," as I notice that' whenever an attack is made on the No-license party it is always under a nom de plume, generally that of "Fair Play." Your amiable correspondent should go, and live in Auckland, and find out lnw many ivp.or bars are owne'l and controlled by Mr Myers and his company, and perhaps he won't wonder why 'Opposition is shown to the very estimable Mr Myers. "Vicious Prosecution" is just the kindly language you might expect from an advocate of the "Trade." Just one question to "Fair Play": He says the Nolicense party are the laughing stock of the country if they object to men in the "Trade" holding responsible public positions of any consequence. Why does the law of the land say that no licensed victualler shall sit as a Justice of the Peace—even if Mayor and Chief Magistrate of the Town? Nice "Trade" is it not?—l am, etc., NO-LIOFjNSE. Stratford, April Ist, 1912.
