ing TO the favorable report made by
the House Committee of "the bill pro-
yiding for the election of officials IN
Hawaii" which is taken to be none
other than the measure known as the
Caypless Bill" amendatory of our pres
ent election laws, that there has not
been, at any time, n general pubic ue-
mand for any of the changes called lor
in this measure" Why should there
be? The Republicans will not demand
any changes in this new election law,
which was recently published IN Inc
independent in its entirety, because
they are now in but, the demand has
come from the Home Rule side. Since
the last election, the Republicans have
seen how easy it is for them to win
every election hereafter, and therefore,
they should be and are evidently per-
fctly satisfied with the present election
law. We cannot blame them for feel
ing so. but we do see that certain
changes are very important and nee
essary, and these the bill intends to
remedy, i. e., the palpable and known
defects in our present law
