What does it all mean?. The Home
Rulers have already lost so much to
the Democrats that they cannot hope
to elect a single man on Oahu this
autumn. The present indications are
that the fight of this year will be be-
tween the Republicans and Demo
Gratis, which is as 1t should be. The
Home Rulers have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by making the
battle one of that kind. By staying in
the fight and putting up third ticket,
Kalauokalani and Motley will not only
hand the election over to the Republi-
cans. but will accomplish their own
downfall. Mark our words.

peculiar effects of the changes Incl

to paralyze money and set business

The steadier heads of the Home
Rule party are coming to see the alb.
surdity of trying to keep up their or.
ganization. Kalauokalani and Charles
Motley are desperately lashing about
in the effort to keep the recalcitrant
band in battle formation but with
little success. Only the old men, who
know little of the newer lines of poll
tics and are dubious about departing
from their traditional methods - still
hold out. Every day former Home

HELENA, Oct. 27.-H. L. Frank,
Oh airman Of the state democratic COM
mittee, was here from Butte for a time
yesterday, and while in the city stated
that in his opinion the prospect for a
democratic victory in the state was
never better than just now.
Mr.. Frank said that his committee
was keeping in close touch with the
work of the campaign and held that in
every county the adherents of democ-
racy were united and working with
every energy for the success of the
ticket next month. He was confident
that Mr.. Gormley would carry the
state in his fight against Congressman
Dixon and that the state would be car
ried for Parker for the presidency.

has completed the list of awards at the
state fair aud sent out the checks, l.
245 in number, to tie persons who won

made up by Secretary Pace, are de-

that 800 more people passed through
the gates of the grounds this year than
last year, which is considered a very
good showing.
AT the fair this year there were 900
individual exhibitors as against 500
last year. The entries of beef cattle
alone mum bered l87. Last year three
lone sheep were on exhibition, as
against l79 this year. This year in
the horse department there were 81 en-
tries as against 35 last year. The
greatest gain was in the agricultural
department, there being 7O2 entries, as
compared with 445 last year.

President Roosevelt is a car, a

he ought to be defeated. We are now
told th at Judge Parker is the master

ought to be elected. Thus we may see

Instructions to Voters.

Supplies to be used at the election
next Tuesday are being sent to each
rprecinct by the county clerk, the outfit
consisting of ballots, poll books, tally
lists, official stamps and other neces-
sary articles. The ballots contain
seven party tickets arranged in sep
arate columns, that of the republican
party occupying the first column on
the ballot.
It is good thing for the voters to
remeln Der that in order to vote for a
candidat it is necessary TO place a
cross before his name on the official
ballot. Any name may be written in
the blank spaces on the ballot, and if
the cross is placed in front of it, it will
be counted. Electors are not permitted
to take sample ballot into the booth.
Any person Offering to vote may be
challenged orally by an elector of the
county on the grounds that he is not
the person whose name appears on the
register check list: that he has voted
before on that day: that he has been
convicted of a felony and not par
doned.
Section 1880 of the code says: "No
person is entitled to vote at any cleo
tion mentioned in this title: except as
otherwise provided in this title, unless
his name on the day of election appear
in the check lists, on the copy of the
official register furnished by the regis
try agents to the judges of election at
the election precinct at which he offers
to vote, or unless he produces and
surrerders a county registry certificate
or a state registry certificate, as pro-
vided in sections l,2O4 and l,2l7 of
this code, and the fact that his name
so appears in the check lists and in
the copy of the official register in the
possession of the judges Of election is
prima facie evidence of his right to
vOte.'

Baldwin Machine Makes Trip of Three
Miles at Worlds Fair.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3l.-After circling
in every directeon at a height Of 1000
feet above the Cascades, in sight of
thousands of cheering enthusiastic
spectators on the Worlds fair
grounds, A. Roy Knabenshue, of To-
ledo, in command of the airship Calf
Arrow, today returned to the place
whence he had started over the same
course that he had come, covering the
three miles and a half of the round
trip under his own power and demon
strating the claims of the inventor,
Capt. Thomas S. Baldwin, of San
Francisco, that the Calf Arrow is not
only dirigi bic but III at it can make head
way against a moderate breeze. Kna-
benshue started from the Aeron auto
concourse at 1897 p. M, and returned
after his rem markable flight at 4:05 p. m
On the return trip the airship sailed
slowly over the exact spot from which
it had arisen % minutes previously,
and glided about 100 feet further west
where it settled gracefully to the
ground.
The descent of the Arrow was a sig
nal for demonstration, the equal

to grasp the frame of the airship, and

navig ator, was carried around the

shouting men. Hats We're thrown into

for three cheers for his home town,
