A GREAT MISTAk u.
Hawaii Herald


Governor Dole has made a great mis-.
take in issuing an order compelling
employees of the Government to keep
out Of politics. Up to date Hawaii Is
not, strictly speaking, a section of the
country where the spoils system Is
manifest; clerks or heads of depart
ments of the Government have not
made themselves obnoxious to their
fellows by any undue activity in poll,
tics, nor have they brought odium up,
on their employer, the Government, by
utterances which would cast upon
them any stigma, nor could they, by
the strlctest Cleveland analysis, be
considered under the head of "offeh-
sive partizans' 1t is uncharitabls,
perhaps, to say that Governor Dole is
Indifferent as to who occupies certain
positions to which men are nominated

Republican hustlers in the district.
The District committee has commeuc.
ed to fall to pieces and the remnant
left has held two meetings in the en-.
deayor to fill vacancies and keep tho
organization going.
Chairman r, C. Ridgway of the Dis.
trict Committee said to q Tribune re.
porter: The Republican party here
will lose more by this foolish order of
Governor Dole's than by any one thing
that has happened. Our best fighters
are dropping out OF the harness. In
Laupahoehoe. the order has simply ex,
lngulshed our organization"
Another leading Republican said
IT'S Dole's old fashioned habit; al
ways being good at just the wrong
time"
The seriousness of the situation can
not be exaggerated in the minds of the
genuine conscientious supporters OF
Governor Dole here. They figure now
that in the coming Legislature Mr.
Dole will not only be confronted with
hostile Legislature, but it will be 8
legislature strong enough in opposi
ton to override all vetoes made.
The deductions which are to DC
made from these conditions are not
flattering to the sense OF GovernO.
Dole nor to the judgment of President
Roosevelt in endorsing the Governor
lor the balance of his term. To all out
ward appearances the President want
ed to produce in Hawaii political har
mony. His course bids fair to sue
coed, but only by the total obliteratioI
of the Republican party.
