NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

Hanna in the Northwest. - Demo.
Gratis generally believe that one of the bes
signs of the times is contained in the an
nounced determination of Mr.. Hanna and
Senator Frye to make a ~hirlwind cam
paign through the Northwest 1t is very
well understood that one of the chief OBJ
jects of their tour is to make life as I'M
pleasant they possibly can for the Hon.
Richard Franklin Pettigrew, who is max
ing desperate fight for reelection to the
Senate from South Dakota. 1t is presumed
that Mr. Frye, as President pro TEN. of
the Senate, will tell the South Dakotans
what poor Senator their Mr.. Pettigrew
has made and advise them earnestly to
| send somebody else to represent them at
| Washington. Senator Frye, by the way is
| one of the principal advocates OF the
| Hanna-Payne ship subsidy scheme, and
| this enterprise has brought him and Mr..
| Hanna close together during the past year.
| Mr.. Pettigrew is opposed to that scheme
! and has promised to fight it uncompro-
misingly il he is returned to the Senate.
But Mr.. Pettigrew is not the only cause
of the Hanna Frye tour of the Northwest.
Mr.. Hanna let hint drop yesterday which
indicates that he is after bigger game
| than Pettigrew. my speeches in the
| Northwest" said Mr.. Hanna, with that
charming naivete that characterizes all of
| his public utterances. will be mainly for
home consumption" Obviously, this means
that Mr.. Hanna is going to do a great deal
more talking in private than in public when
he gets in the Northwest And when Mr.
Hanna talks in private to the faithful they
get hustle on. His trusted agents the
Hon. Perry S. Heath and Col. Dick Kerens
! of Missouri, recently scooted through the
| Northwest at his direction and are sup
| posed to have done considerable talking
| for home consumption" But 1t is evil
| dent that the results of their tour are not
| satisfactory TO Mr. Hanna. 1t is also evil
| dent that he is determined to swing some
States of the Northwest out of the Bryan
column If that achievement is at all posi-
BILE. This leads to the conclusion that Mr..
Hanna realizes the necessity of getting
votes in the Northwest for Mr.. Mckinley
and also that the situation in that region
is not as encouraging as the Republican
managers publicly profess to believe It
is contended that If there Is no danger in
Wisconsin, for example, two big guns like
Messrs. Hanna and Frye would not be sent
up there to assault the Bryan breastworks.
Hawaiian POlitics.-Discouragin DO
litical news is reaching the Hannaites
from their loyal colony of Hawaii. IN
uci the SuiiOIa pdsseu at the fdbl SeS-
sion of Congress, the Hawaiians are grant
ed the privilege of eleeting Delegate to
Congress. At last accounts they were pre-
pairing to nominate three candidates-one
representing the Republicans. another
representing the Democrats, and the third
representing the Independents, who for
the most part seem to be natives. The
Republicans in all probability have ere
this named as their standard bearer the
Hon. Samuel Parker, who is very well
known in Washington by reason of the
fact that he has been here good deal
as the representative of the old Dole
Government The Democrats are likely
to nominate the Hon. David Kawanauakoa,
nephew of ex-Queen Liliuokalani and a
prince of the blood until he became a
citizen of the United States. Ii is thought
probable that the Independents will make
no nomination, but will endorse the Demo- !
cratic standard bearer. II they do so, ii
is believed the Democrats will win the |
election-provided. Of course, the counting
out process has not yet been learned by I
the Hawaiians. The Hon. David Kawan-
auakoa was duly accredited delegate t,i |
the Democratic National Convention at |
Kansas City and as a member of the |
Committee on Resolutions il was his priv |
ilege to cast the deciding vote which put

the House OF the Fifty-seventh Congress
he will enjoy about the same privileges
and immunities as those enjoyed now Is
the Hon. Dennis Flynn of Oklahoma. the
Hon. John F. Wilson of Arizona, and the
Hon. Pedro Perea of New Mexico When
he arises to address the Chair the Speaker
will be saved embarrassment which an
attempt TO pronounce his name would
cause by observing the parliamentary rule
Of recognizing him simply as the gem
tleman from Hawaii The Clerks of the |
House will have no trouble with his
name, either, because it will never be
necessary to call his name, as Delegates
have voice but no vote. But when
he enters the Democratic caucus and the
clerk there calls his name to vote on
party policies there will be trouble Thie
clerk will dare not call him Prince David.
That would be both unconstitutional and
Indemocratic. Nor will any Democratic
nenial have the hardihood to abbreviate
lis name into "Kaw," KAYAK" or any
'ther of the numerous diminutives easily
invented. Altogether, therefore, the pros
'ect is not rosy one for the clerk Of the
Democratic House caucus, in view of the
probability of the election of the Hon.
David Kawanauakoa TO Congress-.
