CAN ANY CITIZEN VOTE FOR CONTINUANCE 2 Whatever our personal attitude is toward the use of intoxicating liquor; we must admit that the liquor traffic is a prolific source of social evils, especially at this present time. We cannot open our newspapers without seeing constant evidence of the tragic results of indulgence in liquor murder street fights immorality crime injury death: Our Civic and Health authorities are seriously concerned about the excessive drinking; immorality, and other evils that are disgracing our cities, and spoiling the lives of girls and young women: The Sale of Bottled Liquor is producing a harvest of evil results. Sly-grog shops, drinking dens, broken bottles, broken shop windows, broken heads, broken laws, broken lives, broken hearts, are some of the tragic results of night drinking made possible by the sale of bottled liquor: New Zealand Wine containing 35 per cent proof spirit as against 6 per cent beer is still per- mitted to be made and sold, though its deadly effects on young people have been made known to the Government: Cruelty to Women and Children continues to bring sorrow and unhappiness to homes. Women also drink and neglect homes, husbands and children. Children are robbed of par- ental love and care; and become victims of cruelty and neglect: If you vote for Continuance, you must share responsibility for these results of the liquor traffic: Can you vote for continuance of the above-mentioned evils ?
