other directions in which money is
needed for campaign purposes are for
music, the renting of halls iuaus, run
ners and hacks on election day. Added
to these are the official expenses of the
government in paying judges of election,
preparing booths and ballots, and the
advertising by both the government and
the candidates. The Treasury of the
Territory has been enriched to the ex-
tent of s2,525 from the 10l candidates

Though no work has been done here
in supplying literature especially pre-
pared for the newspapers. both Chair
man Crabbe and Secretary Atkinson
have always been ready and willing to
give the news of the day to all represent
tatives of the press at any time during
day or night. Messrs. Geo. r. Carter,
T.. c. Winston, X. II. Boyd. w. Ct. Ash

Mr.. Carter has been compelled to refuse
many requests for funds for different
election purposes, requests that We're
legitimate and for the execution of good
features and plans. An idea of the cor
respondence conducted by Secretary At

that upwards of 200 letters were sent
from headquarters on the island steam

week. This correspondence is largely in

that occur to them and upon which
they seek to be enlightened.
Final arrangements are now being
made for the oratory of the last few
days of the campaign and for the great
business of Tuesday, November 4. Re-
TURNS will be received that night at
Republican headquarters, by wireless
telegraph from the other islands, and
by direct telephone communication from,
every precinct in Oahu. The figures, II

other Republican candidates.
