THE NOT NOMINATED CANDIDATE

President Dole says regarding
the governorship: 1T would be
out of place for me to nominate
myself for the position and work
for my appointment" This state.
ment is almost pitiful, demonstrat-
ing as it does the absolute dissolu
tioa of President Dole's local sup
port for the highest executive po-
sition of the territory OF Hawaii.
President Dole is careful not to
deny he is a candidate and recog-
nizes the wisdom of local people
expressing their preferences.
But no one has nominated him for
the position and he cannot nom-
mate himself.
Nothing that has been put in
print brings out more clearly the
damnable cowardice, the political
bsckbiting and chicanery of the
small coterie Of time serving Office
seekers who profess to be Mr..
Dole's friends. Having lost the
support of the rank and file of the
annexation party who oppose him
honestly and on principle, Mr..
Dole finds himself in the hands of
self-seeking politicians who damn
him with faint praise and in pri
vste conversation make him per.
sonally and his capacity for hold
ing executive Office the sub.
ject of vulgar, low lived
buffoonery. These men who
pose as Mr.. Dole's friends when
in his presence, stab him in the
back personally and politically
when out of his hearing. With
such a friend welding the editori.
al pen of the Advertiser, it is
easy to explain why Mr.. Dole re-
mains an not-nominated candidate
The official organ simply throws
mud at Mr.. Dole's open opponents
to satisfy personal enmity against
loyalty to American pripciples,and
to distract attention from its own
weak and intriguing neutrality to-
wards Mr.. Dole.

The situation is just now inter-

The holiday trade is approaching
proportions in larger degree than
former years.
Prices are notably more reason
able and articles of worth are now
within the means of the majority.
10 retail trade, cuts in prices in
certain lines are noted and the
signs are already appearing that
the same causes that operate to
bring prices down to a level cor
responding to conditions in older
communities, are to have full force
here.
Collections on old accounts are
not as satisfactory as during the
fret of this quarter.
Building materials are in good
demand. Mechanics are scarce.
OF real estate the report says:
The market continues firm, Trans
actions in large amounts have
been few, the active demand for
residence lots still continues.
There is a great demand for
furnished and unfurnished houses.
The releases of mortgages in the
past fortnight have been greater
than the mortgage Indebtedness
incurred in the same space of time.
Leases of rice, cane and taro
lands still continue to be made, 40
being recorded since our last re-
port.
The interest rates on mortgages
are: $4,000 at 6 percent, Sl4 300
at 7 percent, S3l, ,2S7.29 at s per
