GREETINGS:

With this the last issue for
1903, we take this opportuni-
ty to express to one and all
our appreciation of the liberal
patronage extended to US du-
ring the year, and to tender
for same our sincere thanks.
The Christmas Season is
accepted as the proper time
for general congratulations,
and that these may be mutual
is our earnest desire.
The work for the grand old
year of 1903 is practically
done, and we trust that it has
been as satisfactory to you as
it has been to u.s..
Some of our customers
have been annoyed on account
of our inability to serve them
promptly. Reader, if you
happen to be one OF these we
take this occasion to assure
YOU tl~t we sincerely regret it.
Notwithstanding our spe-
cial efforts. we have been un-
able, at times, to serve you as
is expected of us but we hope
that the. plans for 1904 will
minimize this annoyance, and
that the CORNER STORE
in future will continue to be
your headquarters.
Respectfully,
w. H. TURNER,
Propr.

of "gone back indicating that the
Bulletin and the Home Rule party were
of one and the same household.
About the same time some of the Ku-
okoas who retained and still retain
their fealty to the Republican party
gave definite information of open boast
there was an understanding between
the Home Rulers and Delegate Kuhio.
AS the campaign warmingly advanced
these boasts because more pronounced

According to the information from
the sources indicated, before Delegate
kuhio left Honolulu to attend the spe-
cial session of Congress he took part
in conferences of politicians opposed to
the Territorial administration. At
these meetings, the accounts go, it was
planned that the Delegate and his i'm
mediate personal following should work
for the defeat Of the Republican party
in the county elections This end ac-
complished would show that only
Prince Cupid at it's head saved the Re-
publican party from defeat at the Ter
ritorial elections last November. Thus

While the immediate occas.on for
these demands upon the Delegate elect
ed by the Republican party of Hawaii
for vindication of his fidelity arose
suddenly, leaders of the party here had
for some time been anxiously following
up clues to matters of a most sus-
picious nature.
Clarence w. Ashford, Home Rule can
didate for supervisor in the Fourth Dis
trict, at the protracted Home Rule
meeting that lasted into Sunday morn
ing, threw the fat into the fire. Flour
ishing a. cab1egram in the air he de-
clared that it was from prince Cupid"
and contained the message, 81 am at
your service" which was explained to
be an answer to requests forwarded to
him for a declaration of his sympathy
with the Home Rulers in the county
campaign and for his opposition at
Washington to the nominations of Sec
refary Carter for Governor and Gov
ernor Dole for Federal Judge.
{ Ashford's demonstration would of it
self have been discounted as an cleo
tioneering trick but for the fact that
disturbing statements had for some
little time past been coming to the ears
Of Republican leaders. A few weeks
ago, it will be remembered, the Bulle-

Rule party to aid the election of Prince
Cupid had come back" to the Home

ELECTION BIBLE" MINE
Of VOTING STATISTICS
Few Citizens Who Will Line Up for the Battle
of Ballots Know Much Of the Work
of Preparation.

Everything is now ready for the cleo
tion, and nothing remains to be done
except break the seals on the wrappers
enclosing the water-marked ballots and
hand them over to the voters tomorrow
The election booths are in place, and
all will have their furnishings in this
forenoon. The old ballot boxes will be
used, these being satisfactory.
There is on exhibition at the office
of Secretary Carter a. ballot receiver,
which is facetiously known in Califor-
mia as the peanut roaster," on account
of it's similarity in appearance to the
familiar street corner peanut warmer
This sample was sent to Honolulu in
the hope that it might be accepted in
the Islands as the official ballot box,
but was not accepted, at least for this
campaign.
The average voter knows little of the
myriad of details which have to be
worked for weeks prior to election day,
that the ballot which he casts, together
with thousands of others, may be prop
erly and honestly recorded according to
law To put a blank ballot, with all
the candidates names printed thereon,
into the voters hand, is the result of
carefully worked out system according
to law.
The work of getting ready for the
election began about the middle of
August or two weeks before Secretary
Carter started for the mainland on his
bond-placing trip. He then began to
look over the old forms and blanks that
had been used in the past, with the idea
of .ascertaining whether they could be
improved upon without going beyond
the rules and regulations. Previously
this work had been conducted in a
crude manner, and there had been
many complaints made over the cleo
tion of last year. In past elections in
spectors have been in the habit of US
| ing big blank sheets of paper, ruled
| by themselves. to record the tally of
l votes. NOW d tally DOOh HAS UeSu pro-
vided, entitled Tally List of the First
| County Election There is a broad
space for the names, and spaces for
carrying out the votes cast for the can
didate up to 1000, which is more than
is NEEDED by the largest precinct. The
books have been made in different
Sizes some for the smaller precincts
and some for the larger ones The last
page is for the chairman and inspec-
tors to certify to the number of votes
received by each candidate. On the back
are printed the rules and regulations
governing the conduct of the vote
counting, or of matters occurring after
| 5 p. m when the polls close.
In the same way there is d book es-
pecially provided to be used in cases
where the voter may be blind, or have
lost an arm or hand, or be paralysed
in the hand, and is not able to make his
own marks or to sign his name. In such
lease the inspectors assist him, and the
imatter is fully recorded in the book
Everything is now in compact form, sc
that every record of the election car
be filed away by precincts. Secretary
Carter arranged all these matters be-

Douthirt said he would prove that It
was the universal custom in China to-

marriage certificate and Judge Estee
said that he didn't regard the question
of the marriage as material, but would

'In this country today a good look
ing Chinese daughter is valuable as
set" said Attorney c. w. Ashford, in
the United States court yesterday, dis
cussing with Judge Estee the quiet
statement of Jung Hing that she had
been bought from her mother for $3.50.
1T is quite common" he added, "and
the parents often regard them as an
asset"
well, We'll stop the assets in this
country at least, as soon as we can"
said Judge Estee.
No case tried in tNe fedral court up to
this time has attracted as large a crowd
OF Chinese as the habeas corpus suit of
Lai Chez Hing, to get possession of the
woman he wants to marry and whom
he says has been he'd for eight years
as a slave, and a very valuable asset,
by Jue Gun. Lai Chez declares that his
life is in danger from those interested

UNFAIRLY spent the night in jail, rather
than leave the court room last night
among the crowds of his countrymen
who gathered to hear the proceedings.
Attorney Douthitt stated to the court
that threats had been made against
Lai
der the protection of the marshal. The
court room was Pgain crowded with
Chinese and Lai is paying board at the
| prison, as he says his life is in danger
| IL he goes out,
Ashford raised objections to allowing
! Lai to be an Inmate of Oahu jail last
night. as the woman is there Marshal
| Hendry was called to the stand and
stated that Lai had told him last night
on the adjournment of court that he
was afraid of bodily harm at the hands
of Jue Gun and his friends. Hendry
said he told Jailer Henry that as far as
| he was concerned he had no objection
to allowing the man to go to Jail if he
would pay his expenses there. Henry
| also took the stand. He testified that
he had not allowed Lai Chez and the

! his alleged marriage to Jung Hing in

riage certificates We're produced and the
alleged marriage was attacked The
certificate which Gun produced, to
prove the marriage, was on small bits
of red paper while Douthitt produced
