Republicans. Democrats and Independ-
ent spellblnders and followers frater-
nlzed Saturday at Laie. Kahuku and
walaiua. They were all out for the eIu-

They came. they saw. but failed TO

The reason OF so many politicians
making f.aie the nucleus Of their gath
erings was because of the big Mormon
conferences. which began Friday even

island Of the group. the native converts
TO the Church OF Jesus Christ OF Latter
Day Saints had come TO meet the presi-
dent OF the stake, for so the temporal
divisions OF the church's domain are
called wherever the Mormon church has
established a settlement.
AT Laie. President woolley makes his
headquarters. and manages the co-op-
erative sugar plantation which Is stead
uy growing. and which supplies the
funds for maintaining the Mormon
church In Hawaii. There Is a meeting
house there Of exactly the same pat
tern with which the green valleys OF
Utah. the home OF the Mormon church,
are dotted.
To this meeting house the worshipers
journeyed. Work for the Mormons al
the settlement ceased. and the spiritual
labor OF the organization received their
undivided attention. There were sew
