THE CITIZEN LABOR LAW.

The Maui News gives it as its candid
belief that neither Secretary Atkinson
nor the firm of Wilson & Duggan is
running a bluff in the matter of citi-
zen labor on the Keanae road contract.
While both parties to the controversy
are doubtless honest in their opinions
the News says, still public opinion
and the views of some of the most solid
and reliable men on Maui are in SYM
patty with the firm of contractors.

There was just as positive and re-
spectacle a backing of Mr.. White
houses employment of japanese on a
Hawaii road contract, which included
a japanese foreman to whom citizens
had to apply for work. In fact. there
was an Official investigation of the
case and report made in favor of
the contractors position. Yet Secre-
tary Atkinson persisted in requiring
that the law should be observed, with
the result that citizen labor was found
to do the work Both the law and
the specifications for public works call
for citizen labor and contractors make
their bids with their eyes open. If

sary to limit the seconding speeches
to four minutes each. An exception
was made in the case of William Jsf-

vention and concluded by seconding
the nomination of Senator Francis NJ.

st. Louis, July lo.-Chief Judge Al
ton B. Parker, of the New York state
court of appeals was nominated at
about fifteen minutes to six o'clock this
morning for president of the United
States by the democratic national con-
vention. But one roll call, and SO de-
cisive was the result of that one that
contrary states began to call for rec
ognition and the ballot finally resulted
in a unanimous vote for the New York
state man. The scene was dramatic
in the extreme. Darkness had wit
messed the gathering of the democratic
hosts. while broad daylight, the sun
paling the electric light, witnessed the
close.
The convention was In session from
eight o'clock last night until nearly six
