I GERMAN INFLUENCE. ] . _ Voters desirous of getting rid of German influence m New Zealand 'should now without delay make every effort to secure the passing during the session of the Naturalised Subjects Franchise Bill, which has been read in the House a first tune. Under this Bill, during the present war and for six .-months after, persons who when naturalised were subjects of countries we are now fighting will be incapable of sitting in Parliament, on local councils or on Licensing Committees, or of' being Justices of the Peace or jurors, or of holding or getting renewals of licenses under the Licensing Act of 1008, or'of voting at elections. j The. matter is very pressing, and every endeavour should be made to induce the Government to" dja) with the measure this session. There is, without question, a very strong feeling on the part of a great majority of electors that this Bill should become law as soon as possible, and this needs to bo clearly brought home to the Government and the other representatives of the people, in Parliament.
