The most pleasing point In the day s
voting lies In the fact that harmony
was the rule In almost every precinct
on the islands. There were some. diff
ferences. The tickets In the Second of
the Fourth and the Ninth OF the Fifth
had on them more. names than We're
needed to oil the deiegatesbips but the
contests were OF a friendly nature, the
struggle was undertaken and carried
on without acrimony, and their results
Will be accepted with the best feeling.
In more than half the precincts of the
Island there were no contests. The
leaders of the wings OF the party got
together and filled up the ticket which
seemed best fitted. to their minds, and
the people handsomely ratified the Sc
lections at the polls. This in brief tells
the story Of the voting In the majority
OF the precincts, and there was the
most complete satisfaction expressed
all along the line yesterday.
Where contests took place, with the
one exception Of the Seventh precinct
Of the Fifth district, the attitude of the
workers showed that they were engage
ed In a rivalry which makes closer the
ties which bind men who have for their
aim the same interests. In every in
stance where an attempt was made on
the part OF "A zealot to introduce Tam
many machine methods he found slight
comfort even from his friends, and the
results may be taken as indicating the
lifting of Republican politics from the
plane OF selfish fighting and making the
primaries manly contests for honors
which carry responsibilities and mean
hard work.
The exception to the rule was I'm the
Palama district, where after the first
experience of stolen ballot box the
workers seemed TO think Il necessary to
signalize the primary by a disturbance.
Win the memory N the theft in 1900
In mind the question on the tongue OF
every one was what will be done in
the SEVENTH" 1t was late coming, but
the occurrences were none the less to
be regretted that they were delayed.
and a contest 1t is a blow to Rcpubli- |
canism that there should be one pre-
cinct where gang methods must be fol- !
lowed. but 1t seems inevitable. The |
party knows where the sore spot IL and |
perhaps may find way TO cure the
evil later.
Forgetting this incident to an other |
wise significantly harmonious day. II is |
with congratuiation that the party |
looks upon the record and sees In the |
unity Of purpose and the enthusiasm of
the workers a promise 60 SUCCESS III |,
which cannot but cheer al! /
In their laoors for the future. II is not |
100 much to predict even harder @ofx |,
for Rcpublicanism during the three |
months to come, and the prestige OF |
progress rill win to the ranks many |
who are halttns between the lines.
