THE DISFRANCHISED SOLDIERS. AN AUCKLAND PROTEST. A crowded public meeting, convened by the Mayo- in response to representations by various interests, passea the following resolution: "That this meeting directs the attention of the Government to the position created with regard to the disfranchisement of returned soldiers by Ordcr-in-Council of December 19 last, in which it was provided that members of the Expeditionary Force returned to New Zealand after February 1, 1919, and before the date of the poll, should be entitled to vote as if they were members of the Expeditionary Force, which order was subsequently revokea practically on the eve of the close of the rolls_ The position thus created appears to this meeting to be moss unfair, and such as entitled the soldiers to claim at the hands of the Government immediate provision to enable them to legally exercise their votes. This meeting therefore demands that the Government take immediate steps to make provision by re-attesting, or other means, failing which a special session of Parliament to enact the necessary provisions toe called. Further, if legal difficulties are insuperable this meeting demands for an informal vote to be taken on that the Government make provision April 10 of all the men affected the vote to be validated when Parliament meets "
