President Shiveley announced on
Thursday night mis- list of umpires for
the Valley league and he met them
today in Kansas City to give his in
structions for the season. They are:
James Regain of Kansas City; George
Franklin of Cleveland, O.; J. J. Flynn
Owens of Chicago. They have been
assigned to the following cities for the
opening games Sunday; Franklin to
Sedalia, Regain to Joplin, Flynn to
Leayenworth, and Owens to lola.
President Shiveley is one of the
best judges of umpires in the country
and the patrons of the Valley league
games are assured of good decisions.
There never was a time, however, that
some one didn't abuse the official at
a ball game, but that must be ex-
pected. Shiveley has the best that the
money at his command for the pur-
pose could secure.

CLUB FORMING
FOR THE CAMPAIGN

The Good Government, Club" is an
organization that promises to cut
considerable figure with political az
pirants on the Island of Oahu this fall.
That the idea has attractions for the
voters in the Honolulu prGcincts is in
dicated by the fact that already go vot-
ers have signed the list. irrespective
of party lines and 1t Is not doubted but
that the club in the two districts Of this
island will number a membership Of
at least 500 within n week after Or
ganization has been perfected.
The object Of the club is Indicated
by Its name. In the clubs work party
lines disappear and the members hope
to be instrumental In aiding In tho
election to the next Legislature the
best men who can be found to accept
the nomination.
The working strength Of the organ
ization will operate through the value
of its endorsement Of candidates. An
aspirant for Office on either the Demo-
cratic or the Republican ticket will
covet the endorsement of club COM
posed OF 500 voters. When these APP
plications are made, the qualification
OF the applicant will be considered by
the club and vote taken. The ma
jority vote will bind the club to sup
port the applicant for legislative hon
ors.
Reduced to a nutshell the stated OBJ
ject OF the club is to elect good men to
the Legislature.
The work of bringing the club into
existence has been done by Henry c.
Vida and Paddy Ryan. Meetings will
be held next week in both the Fourth
and Fifth Districts, to elect officers and
adopt working system. The major
ity OF the members who have signed to
date are Republicans about equally d.
yided among haoles, Portuguese aud
Hawaiians.
Mr.. Ryan In discussing the move
ment. said 1t was not move to bolt
from any party. He said 1.-THE move
ment is one which 1t is hoped will give
the voters more to say In party mat
tiers than they have had In the past
Our organization will not supplant the
regular party channels In the choice Of
candidates, but It is expected that 1t
will have some weight with the party
leaders. the candidates and the maniN
ulatoTs. We want more liberality to-
ward the rank and file both In the .po-
litical parties and in the government
The opinion among voters is very fav-
orable to the purposes of the good
government club. Wherever l have
gone among the voters l find them
willing to join irrespective of party.
The club will act along conservative
lines with good government as its first
principle"
Preliminary meetings have already
been held In both the Fourth and Fifth
Districts at which lot OF enthusiasm
was generated.
