PETITION ABOUT THE VOTE ON ALCOHOL
Perhaps both small and great have seen the petitions being circulated for signing by the Pakeha and also by Maori throughout the Dominion. This petition was initiated by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Alcohol. It is a petition from the people to Parliament asking it to arrange a vote on the issue by the people when Parliament convenes towards the end of this year.
