Mr Maron, general secretary of the New South Wales Alliance, while admitting that the prohibition vote in New Zealand receded, claimed that the Alliance, possibly, achieved the greatest triumph in its history, in returning fifty-one members to the new Parliament pledged to a reduction of the majority required to carry prohibition and local no-license.
The Rev. Hammond, who is back from the New Zealand campaign, says; “The liquor folk are like the Germans, being hemmed in on every side. Any victories they claim are temporary only and postponed for a brief while the inevitable defeat which is awaiting them. The Alliance, which is determined never to fight again under the severe handicap of the three-fifths majority, succeeded in returning sufficient members to see a bare Bill through and remedy the handicap.”
