City Attorney Smith has been at tn,
head of the citizen movement. For
any of the faults OF the machine he
has been blamed. Indeed. the straight.
out campaign which has terminated
so successfully is openly stated TO be
nothing less than a revolt against Mr.,
Smiths administration. The straight
outs have determined 10 relieve him OF
the responsibility of conducting the ar
fairs OF the democratic party. There
may be internal dissenslons be-
fore this object Is accomplished. but
the straisht-outs feei they may as well

Just at present. confident OF success
at the convention. the straight -outs are
looking around for candidates. They

John Blue is going to be their candl-

in the county could make even a re-

This is by no means the first oc-

aggressive attitude toward the new

1899, stated that the depredatIons of

Local political interests now center'
In the democratic county convention
which win be held next Saturday after
noon at the court house. In brief. II
can be stated that the straight-outs
have put kink in the citizen" aggre-
CATION that will never again be

of real democratic ticket is assured,
To those who know Of the uncertainty
and visissitudes of politics, the state
ment win seem rather a strange one.
but it's true nevertheless. The citizens
hopes have gone aglimmering, and yes
terday the citizen leader, City Attorney
Tone" Smith, threw up the sponge.
The straight-out moveemnt has been
on for years When the citizen move
ment was first inaugurated the old
time democrats found solace in ad-
ministering occasional defeats to theI
republicans, and the novelty of the
thing kept them in line. But they soon
began to long for the old name and the
old principles and they protested
against their deliverence to what they
came TO regard as an unholy political
machine. However. the citizen leaders
managed to pull the right strings at the
right time, and all efforts to disrupt
the organization fell fiat. So citizen
tickets were named despite the grow
ing rebellion within the ranks of the
democrats.
Every year there has been more or
less talk of straight ticket, but no
genuine effort was ever made until this
spring. Because of the fact that this
is presidential year. the democrats de-
termined to take the political lever in
their own hands, and for the past three
weeks the straight -outs have been
hustling. They sounded all of the un-
terrified, and generally found sentiment
IN favor of an unmasked organization.

TOURISTS AND Low FARES.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from a former resident of Ho-
noIulu, now of Los Angeles, who does
not want his name published:
Los Angeles. Cal, March 2, 1904.
Editor Advertiser: 1 read with much
interest your editorials on the subject
of tourist traffic to the Islands. 1 think
you struck the keynote of the situation
in your remarks on rates of passage.
After living in this community which
has made the tourist business a won
derful success and reduced advertising
to fine art, 1 can draw but one con-
clusion, viz: that cheap rates of trans
portation are absolutely necessary to
draw the people. 1 can remember when
Los Angeles was barely more than a
quiet country town; the inclosed clip
ping tells something of what it is doing
today. Hundreds of wealthy people
come here to whom expense is no con-
sideration. These people travel regard
less of rates. but the great bulk of the
tourists are people of moderate means
who wish to escape the severity of the
eastern winter. Needless to say they
do not stay at the swell hotels with a
rate of 81 per day. At a banquet last
night Postmaster Motley Flint we'll
known in Honolulu, said in his address
that the principal stock-in-trade of
Southern California was sunshine and
the finest crop was tourists. This SEN
timent expresses the whole matter in a
nutshell. The entire community work
as unit to secure visitors, treat them
well, induce thousands TO remain and
make their homes.
Railroad agents say that 5000 people
are coming here in the next two
months. a majority of these are farm
ers and home-st Akers who will no doubt
engage in agriculture. Real estate men
say there is a good demand for small
! ranches and orchards. The Adver-
tiser's advocacy of the small farmer is

correct.
Something like twenty prospective
tourists have been referred to me for
information concerning the Islands. all
interested and anxious TO make the
trip. So far as 1 know only two have
done So the others refused to pay what
they considered exorbitant rates. Two
of this number decided to visit the City
of Mexico although preferring to see
Honolulu. The difference in rates set
tied the question. A gentleman former
ly connected with the Pacific Mail Co.
stated that a passenger could be car
ried from San Francisco to Honolulu
for $40 at a fair profit, 1 believe this
statement is fairly correct.
Ticket agents tacit1y admit that they
only hope to secure wealthy people at
the prevailing rates, that il is waste
of time to solicit the average tourist
Wealthy visitors are very desirable in
any city but the supply is somewhat
limited and the whole proposition falls
back to the plain, every day American
citizen. There are millions of him.
and it is he who spends money lin the
aggregated creates business, and pro-
notes prosperity but resoIutely refuses
to be stood up with fancy prices.
Without wishing to enroll in the
Knockers Club" I honestly believe
that the Promotion Committee are now
wasting much of their labor by being
forced to work against traffic rates
which seem almost prohibitive TO a good
tourist business. A little missionary
effort with the transportation COM
panfes, or if need be a good strong jolt
from the business community would
accomplish far more than thousands of
booklets which few people take time to
TY.
Cheap railroad fares made Southern
California what it is. and reasonable
steamer rates could make Honolulu
thrive.
Very truly yours,
D. NJ K.
