MAORI ORGANISER'S REPORT.

There is very little fresh news to be reported this month. The Maori women are deploring the fact that their vote cannot be of help to us in the coming (lection, so that though they are most keen to have prohibition, they can help us but little. 1 am hoping that the East Coast Unions, though only new to the work, will stitk to their guns again this year, and keep their district prohibited, as before. I ft el sure that if my request to the No License Council, a few months back, to have a strong worker sent among the European population of that Coast, has been granted, the place should carry prohibition easily. 1 have been appointed scrutineer for the No

License, for Hatley, on the 10th inst. On the 17th of this month all the four Unions, Maori, of this district will meet at Otamatca, and I hope to be able to visit them later on in the month, in their own settlements. My correspondence with other distant l nions is j rogrossing favourably, many asking for instructions. While in Au< kland a few days back I visited the Maori Contingent at Avondale, and you will be glad to hear th.it a great many of these brave boys are White Ribboners from some of our Unions in all parts of the North Island.
