ELECTION WILL
BE HELD MONDAY
Some Contest Over the Selection
OF Major in the National
Guard.

There are three candidates in the
field for the election of major in the
National Guard to be held Monday
evening. a successor to Lieutenant
Colonel C. ]. Mccarthy must also be
elected, but there is only one candidate
for this place, Major C. w. Ziegler.
The election of Ziegler will leave an
other vacancy in the list of majors,
and there will have to be another
election to name his successor.
The three candidates in the field at
present are Captain Riley of Company
B." Captain Thomas Wall, ordnance
officer, and Major ]. NJ. Camara. Major
Camara resigned few months ago in
order to become a candidate for the
legislature, and is now asking for re
election to his old position.
Only the twenty-three officers of the
National Guard in Honolulu can vote
upon the candidates for major and lieu
tenant colonel. There is some cor
test in this between the staff and line
officers, the latter claiming that one
OF their number. who has been drilled
in active duty from the bottom up, is
entitled to the promotion rather than
staff officers, who are only appointive
and not engaged in active. duty.
