REPUBLICANS LOOK
AHEAD TOPRIMARiES

Gossip concerning the Republican
primaries kept alive interest in the To-
cal situation Saturday and yesterday.
ma there was no end of talking over
what may be considered the lineup for
the primaries which will make Satur-
day one of the days to be remembered
The changes of position which are
going on in the various districts where
there were two factions with tickets
for delegates are notable and the out
look is that the Second of the Fourth
and the Seventh of the Fifth will fur
nish once more the most lively contests
of the day. In the Second of the Fourth
there may be some changes which
would greatly alter the outlook Ken
nedy, nominated for place on the
district ticket, is said to be anxious to
resign. if the club will consent to have
the name of B. H. Wright substituted.
Both were considered in the caucus
which was held TO settle any differences
of opinion as to who should be on the
ticket. Kennedy winning.
In the Seventh of the Fifth there is
a sharp alignment and it may be that
the balloting will show an effort to
draw lines which will make the pri-
mary one of the first interest. The
nominating meeting of Friday was one
of the best attended ones ever held Ia
the precinct. AS showing the chang
ing sentiment of the Hawaiians there
were present about seventy-ive ma
tAes, principally from the Kalihi camp,
who are said to be vouched for by
Clark, and who have been claimed by
WilcOx's men as Home Rulers. 1t is
understood that they will join the club
so that they may be eligible to vote at
the primary

The small number OF men 20 b seen

matter which has besn . frequent
occasion for comment, and this IL
doubtless due 70 the very general use
Of labOr-EsVing machinery, says the
Engineering Magazine. The cost Of
production IN industrial tablish-
ments IL made up Of the costs Of raw
material, wages, toolage. taxes and in
tereEt, Of which the largest single item
usually Is the wages coEe One way BY
which this item may be reduced Is By
the instGllment Of mechanical stokers.
In the great majority Of steam plants

ashss are removed By hand, making.
in plants Of 1000 boiler horsepower
or over, q. wages cost Of some eonsid-

The mechanical stoker may be de-
fined as a system Of great bars. dump

devices to feed fuel and control its
combustion. and subsequently to drop
the ashes and unburnt coal. That II
Is not IN any sense q new invention
is 20 be learned from the fact that
James Watt took out a patent in 1Ts5
