Oakland, July 13.-The engagement
OF Miss Aida Tipson of this city to
Benjamin Summons Of Honolulu has
been announced. The marriage is to
take place at Honolulu in the latter
part of August AS his business in the
Islands demands his attention. Mr.
Sammons finds 1t next to impossible
for him to make the trip here for the
marriage, and 1t has been arranged that
the bride-to-be shall travel to his ISL

Tipson family home is at SIT Sixteenth
street in this city, Mr.. Tipson has for
a number of years been engaged in
business in Honolulu and his daughter
has spent considerable of her time with
him.

Judge of the Island Circuit Court, and

GOOD FEELING PREVAILS.

The general tenor of the Republican
precinct meetings held last night was
a gratifying indication of unity and a
disposition to do earnest work in the
coming campaign. The increased at.
tendance over that of two years ago
Mt preliminary meetings was the best
proof possible OF full appreciation OF
the importance of getting into line ear
iy. Factlonalism of bitter character
was not to be found. No attempt was
made to shut out nominees and thus
far all sides appear to be satisfied and
willing to abide by the ballot at the
primaries to be held next week.
Instructions to the delegates from
two precincts to vote for the county
and municipal government plank in
the party platform proves that this is
to be a leading issue in the party as
well as in the final contest. That there
were not positive expressions from
other precincts is due more to failure
10 think of the instruction" plan than
a lack of opinion on the subject. I'm.
mediate county and municipal govern
ment is unquestionably to be the fight
ing issue" of the whole campaign, and
one on which prospective delegates to
conventions must reach well defined
opinions. A review OF the nominees
shows that the personality OF indiyid.
uals is not looming up prominently.
The contests will be made on the prin.
ciples supported rather than any likes
or dislikes iimong individuals, Thus ii
can honestly be said that party work
ers and voters are growing out of the
somewhat narrow grooves of former
days.
In the Second Precinct Of the Fourth,
Mr.. Craig made reference to lack OF
workers and the character of excuses
made by men requested to canvass Ger
tain sections, which doubtless applies
with more or less force In all precincts.
It is the result OF the old idea that the
time to work in politics is few days
before the elections. The injury done

A single instance has been reported
