THE PROHIBITION POLL. o iu the hearts of many thousands of electors a fierce struggle is proceeding as to what shall be done with the franchise which democracy has placed in every adults’s hands for Thursday next. The vote must, be cast! 1 To refrain from voting is but to restore to the ostrich-like fallacy of placing one’s head in the sand. It is the way of a weakling. The Trade holds a mortgage on the Dominion’s future. The issue is as simple as it is momentous. A vote for Prohibition is a vote for tin safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people. The liquor trade, which we have allowed to grow up we must ourselves pull down, or else, like Frankenstein’s monster, it will destroy us. Vote for the children! Let nothing prevent you!—(Advt). &

Dear Jamieson, — Thanks for yours. Am awfully busy and have only time for a, line. Yes, I was awfully surprised at Rowlands. He’s one of the last metx I thought would have done it! I wasn’t surprised .at his saying that aid'd was useful under medical supervision in some cases, or that the disease was aggravate d in the case of moderate drinkers, but I didn’t expect him to go so far as to say that if a proper supply was guaranteed by the Government there would be no sound reason against prohibition. He’s on the mark, too! You’re right! The liquor crowd’s fake proclamation was over the edge; the men here say it has lost the “trade” thousands of votes. I see the Health Department has undertaken to provide an adequate supply of alcohol for mcdiciual purposes, and that will guarantee its purity. It is no charge for medical certificates. I’m tor striking out the top line this time. Lots of our crowd are the sam.e, and if we dared tell all that we know of the effects -of liquor, the “Trade” would be absolutely snowed under. 1 All well here. Good luck. Yours, JACK. Advt.

YOORiHOiE, ANOTHER TRADE LIE HASN’T DONE US ANY HARM. THE TRADE states vide Taihape Daily Times, of Bth last., “That if Prohibition is carried on Thursday the law will give the police the right to make the most EXHAUSTIVE search in the Home of every individual in the Dominion. ” Thanks to the courtesy of the Trade in letting the fact that this statement was being prepared to get abroad an opportunity was given to obtain the following authentic statement from the HON. T. WILFORD, MINISTER FOR JUSTICE, who- says vide a telegram from him which is open for inspection at the Office of (the “Taihape Daily Times” that in the event of Prohibition being carried tbe police will have no more power 1o enter a private house than they have to-day, where breaking of the law is suspected.
