CAN NOT GO ON.
Independent, Citizens and Fusion
Tickets Not Properly Named.

A4ckcLS IN OF properly 0d1uSu-
Assistant Attorney General Clayton
has made a stir by ruling that where
fusion had been effected between the
Democrats and Populists in a county
and they have nominated the same
ticket they can not have the ticket
printed on the official ballot under the
name of Independent, citizens" or
fusion ticket.
Clayton says: 1.-The parties decided
upon calling their tickets independent
and similar names in order to defer the
fight over the selection of a party
name until next year. The law pro-
vides that the name of a. party on the
official ballot, unless put there by petit
ton, must be the name of a party
which has a state or national organizas
ton. There VIII be no way or evadIng
this provision of the law and, in order
to comply with it, the conventions must
select one of the old party names and
call their ticket the Peoples party or
the Democratic party ticket"
The decision was made at the request
of the secretary of the Populist COM
mittee. ]. H Curran- He says he will
contest, as many county conventions
would have to be held over again.

Sir:-Since my last letter nothing
has TRANSFERRED relating to our land
matters. other than the introduction
of bill by Delegate X. w. Wilcox,
copy of which enclose. A bill iden.
tical with this has been introduced
in the Senate by Sullivan tMississip.
pD.
think the chances slight of this
or any other bill in this connection
becoming law at this session. crowded
as II is and nearing its end.
Following my own inclinations. ]
should have returned before now. but
have felt constrained to stay for any
contingency in which | could be of
service.
As to modification of the 1000 acre
limitation on corporations. think
that is at this time out of the ques
ton.
Nothing at this stage would be like
~
unopposed, and to an amendment on
this line there would certainly be
enough opposition.
While do not think the bill intro
duced will be passed this session, II
seems probable that some investiga
lions will be made Of the working OF
our land laws. Probably by the In
terror department, though when OF
how, is uncertain.
Believing that there is much to be
done in Honolulu now, Mr.. Baird's
contention has been over.ruled. and
wishing to accomplish as much III
possible at an early date, shall re

that am justified in so doing. II pos
