TEMPERANCE.
(United Press Association.) Invekcahgiu i April 15. The temperance candidates for three of toe Invercargill Licensing Committees were defeated by large majorities to-day. The candidates were not altogether popular with their own party. The looal option poll declared against more licenses. There are 25 hotels now to a population of 5000. In North Invercargill, where there is no licensed house, a stiff fight was intended to obtain one, but an informality in the nominations of moderates left them with one candidate only. They therefore threw all their energies into the looal option poll, but did not succeed in affirming the neoessity for a licensed house. Dunedin, April 15.
At a largely attended public meet' ing called by the temperance party, strong resolutions in favor of prohibition were carried with enthusiasm. Among the speakers was Mr Melville (Chairman of Committees of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly*)
