Complete Returns-The Star Scores q
Triumph-Valuable Publication.

The Semi Weekly Star issued this
morning contains the complete vote of
the territory cast November g. tabulat-
ed by districts and precincts. The vote
of. Niihau, alone where there are only
26 registered voters, is missing.
This is the first complete tabulaton OF
the vote published. 1t is prac tically Of
fetal. 1t will be found invaluable as a
reference. 1t Will be of great interest
to everyone who is interested in an
election that is almost without pre-
cedent.
There is scarcely question concern
ing the election which these tables will
not answer. They give the vote of
every candidate in every precinct In
which he ran. They show just where
each congressional candidate was
strong and where he was weak.
The Star in the promptness. complete
ness and accuracy of its election re-
turns has eXcelled all it's contempora-
ries Within two hours after the last
returns were received at Wray Taylor's
office last Wednesday, The Star pub
lished complete tabulation of the vote
of Oahu, by districts and precincts, Civ
ing the vote every man received in
every precinct. Public appreciation of
this was shown by the very large sales
of the paper Yesterday it published
like complete tabulated returns by dis
tricts and precincts from the other ISL
ands, something that none of it's con-
temporaries have attempted. In fact
the Star is the only source of informa-
| tion as to complete and detailed reports
which the public has as to these. At
none of the campaign headquarters nor
at the office of the Secretary of the Ter
ritory have complete returns been re-
ceived
Today's publication in the Semi
Weekly Star is the first complete tahu-
! lated returns for the whole territory
published all together.
The Star was able to do this service
to the public by the thorough and intel
| llgent arrangements for the service it
made weeks before election. These ar
rangements We're based on a compre-
hensive consideration of the facilities
for gathering, and transmitting infor-
nation and for tabulating 1t when re-
celVed. The difficulties, delays and I'M
! parfections of telephone and steamship
communication were all considered and
guarded against as far as possible.
| The Stars correspondents all worked
! together with intelligence and zeal.
| The results are shown in the returns
| The Star has published and the COM
! perfections of telephone and steamship
plete tabulation in the Semi Weekly
1t is not assumed that the figures in
tneSe tabulatiOnS will correspond i'm
every particular with the final official
tabulation which will be made up some
time hence in the Office of the Secretary
OF the Territory But the differences
| VIII be minor and trivial and will not
affect the results in any instance nor
impair the tables given, for any prac-
tical purpose.
It may be noted that in the vote for
wilcox in the first district of Hawaii.
a probable error has been discovered
since these tables were set up similar
to the error in the vote for Parker in
the third district of this island made in
the first returns to Secretary Cooper.
Wilcox is probably entitled to 112 votes
in the first Hawaii precinct instead of
IL as ne is credited with, increasing his
plurality to 277 for the 56th Congress-
and TO 316 for the 57th.
