the basis ~ maintaining the relation

are objections In the first place m
ruiz could be applied with justice on y
u the members of the senate were
chosen from the entire group rather
than from districts. Granting the d.
vision Of the Territory into districts
there can be no fair distribution OF the
Senatorial prizes except by the consid-
Grafton of the votes cast In those dis

Republican Territorial committee. this
course Is followed. In the first district
two Home Ruler Senators are given
long terms, those retired being one
Home Ruler and one Republican. In
the second district two out of thr, g
Senators are given long terms, one each
for the parties, the man left at home
being a Home Ruler.
While these alignments are maintain
ed by the Home Rulers I'm their bil.
which was approved by the committee
II IL In the Third district, this island,
where the fine work IL done. In this
district there are six Senators. four be-
ing Republicans and two Home Rulers.
II there is any plan in the course of the
committee, IL should have found ex-
preston In the retention of a clear Re
publican dele cation here. The proper
ton of Republicans to Home Rulers in
the district is much greater than the
party proportion in the Senate, yet act
Ing under some peculiar hypnotic in
lluence the committee gives one seat
from this district to a Home Ruler, a
man whose vote was not nigh.
When the opportunity offered, Gov
Dole said that he considered the bill
unfair. There is nothing vague nor
disappointing to his friends in this
! statement. 1t is squarely in line with
Republicans here and it liz safe to SAY
that his arguments will have weight
| with Senators, even If they come toe
late to be of service to the Territory
in the discussion before the House com
mittce. 1t Is fair to presume that Re.
publicans in the branches of Congress
will not be unmindful of the RECORD
| made by the Home Rule majority II
the last Legislature, and will assist Re.
| publicans here TO retire representative
| of that party to private life.
