GUIDE FOR ELECTION DAY
Young voters—those who will vote for, the first time on September 25— will be interested to find that they will be called upon to express their opinion —on the ballot paper—about the Licensing Question. The referendum on this question is taken at each General Election provided that a period of over two years has elapsed between polls. The results of the various referendums are interesting, and young voters will realise the importance of the fact that New Zealand voters have rejected prohibition on every occasion, each time more emphatically than the last.Here is a tabulation showing the steady increase in the number of votes cast in favour of Continuance during the past five polls: 1922 282,669 1925 299,590 1928 374,502 1935 521,167 ■ 1938 /..... 545,995 The percentage of valid votes against prohibition in 1938 reached 70.96. There must be good reasons for this emphatic expression of opinion—and there are. Prohibition has failed wherever tried, and today no country has prohibition. Help New Zealand to hold fast to Liberty—Vote Continuance. Strike out the two bottom lines.—Advt.
