seven or cight as the case might br.
I'm This way part of the body would
bo returned every year and part would
hold over. The legislature failed. hove
ever. 90 nrranEe the details of such ape
rortiuument and mo- selection uf The
seven tWo-year senators was made.
This fall. under the law, seven new
senators viii be- elected. but. unless
Congress comes % the rescue, ! can see
no possible way for deciding which of
the fifteen senator's shall retire 90 make
way for me- eEcomers.
THE republican minority proposed to
the Hawaiians that the matter be set
tied by the selection TO 60 Of those sem
atprs who received the lowest number
of votes in each district This was not
satisfactory. Then he minority pro-
posed that the seven senator's who re-
..f, AT
the last election be selected to retire.
But nothing secned satisfactory To
them. They would have much preferred
to make the allotment so that the six
Republican senators should be in for
two years only. This being simply a
failure to comply with the law, it is
difficult in any way to bring it before
lie courts.
! CONGRESS CAN CORRECT ABUSES.
There seems to be no other alterna-
| tive than to appeal t. the power which
I brought the Teri tory into existence
I and framed the act. for certainly If the
question is not settled there will be
only seven senator's the newly elected
| ones. concerning who Sc seats there can
/ be no doubt. This will be not magor-
| ity not even quorum. Under such
conditions the upper branch of the leg
| islature viii be ineffective; no legisla-
! tion can be done"
| Asked about Gov. Dole and the pres
ent administration ia Hawaii, Senator
Carter caid:
81 am glad Gov. Dole is coming here
to confer with ,re II sident OF course
what / have said to President Roose-
| Of fat In
! rerritoly must be me de public from the
| White HoLse, If at all. The impression
that | have gained here in the United
States seems to be that Mr.. Dole is in
bad health. In fact, he has entirely re-
covered end is refreshed by his rest
end is apparently az we'll as ever. The
telegl am which was sent him yester
day. if it caught the ooat ir time might
reach him SO that he could get T.
Washington about Nj M1rch q; otherwise
about April /. The who'e Hawaiian
situation will be gone over and the
President vii n he up his mind as tc
what policy he will adopt in tfo Isl
ends for the future"
THE NEED OF \ CABLE.
Senator Carter is enthusiastically il
, favor Of "A cable om the United States
L. the Hawaiian Islands.
~ cable" he said, will improve tn
c Islands immeasurably and make then
a delightful ard attire ctive place t,
H. spend the winter. \ cable is needle,
Il badly. side that is not often touche,
: upon is the effect it would have on tn
Il people of the Islands themselves. Yol
u with your morning and evening news
u papers do not comprehend how quickl!
~ We nave to begin discussing our neigh
y bCrs, when it is from ten days to thre
II weeks between mails, during which pc
- riod no word is received from the out
= lide world. \ cable would be of grea
benefit from an educational point o
/ view and would broaden the range o
II thought so that petty things would no
" be of such interest"
