DEMOCRATS WILL
MAKE A CAMPAIGN
PROPOSE TO NOMINATE COUNTY
TICKET BUT MANY OF LEADERS
PREFER TO HAVE ACT TESTED.

W. A. Kinney the chairman Of the
Democratic Central Committee. return
ed yesterday from san Francisco. The
return of Kinney has been awaited
with considerable impatience by the
members of the party, as the various
leaders were anxious that he should
return before steps looking for the re-
organization of the party, were taken.
The general sentiment of the promi-
nent memebrs of the party is that the
interests can best be served by wait
ing until the status of the county act
will have been determined, before
starting to make up "a slate for county
nominations. Many of the leaders are
strongly in favor Of having some test
made to determine the validity of the
county act Whether any Democrat
will begin such action or not is uncer-
tain but i'm any event, the Democrats
are anxious to know where the county
act stands, before making Il campaign
If it is found that the county act is
valid then the party will certainly put
a ticket in the field. Although snow
ed under last fall" said one of the
leaders today "the Democrats of Ha-
wall are still alive and they will be
found in the running it this county
election provided the Supreme Court
holds that there is any use to hold any
election"

.SWORE FALSELY
BEFORE PRATT
TEN PMOLO LAND APPLICANTS
MISSIONER TODAY.

Ten of those who We're yesterday sue
cessful applicants for Palolo land lots
were turned down today by Land Com
missioner Pratt because their taxes are
delinquent. The law provides that no
delinquent taxpayer shall take govern
ment land under the land act of 1895
and unless explanations are forthcom-
ing the applicants will be rejected.
The matter has still more serious
side, as the applicants all swore that
their taxes were not delinquent, when
they made application. They are there
fore liable for prosecution for perjury.
Moreover, they have disqualified them
selves forever to take up land under
the act of 1895, which makes such a
false assertion a perpetual bar to
future applications, or at least, requires
that applicants shall make oath that
they have never made such false state
ments.

MOANA HOTEL
MAY SELL DRINKS
SUPREME COURT OVERRULES
IAN TRUST COMPANY.

The Supreme Court this morning rem
dered a decision in the Moana hotel
liquor replevin case, reversing the cir
cult court decision in favor of plaintiff
in the case entitled the Hawaiian Trust
Company VS.. A. M. Brown as High
Sheriff. The suit grew out of a seizure
of liquors in the Moana by Brown un-
der an execution issued against the no
tel many months ago. The court holds
that the liquors are not included in the
mortgage trust deed and decides a
gainst the trust company.
The decision says that under the con-
tention that 4 liquors were part of
the property conveyed by the deed "the
written consent of the trustee would
have been necessary every time drink
was sold" and adds that If it had been
the intention to include liquors some
provision would have been inserted in
the deed, provide for daily disposition
of them. The trust deed was drawn
carefully and included all the parties
intended and If liquors had been intend
ed to be included they would have beer
mentioned.

S. H. Derby appeared for plaintiffs anC

Two Sets Of Ballots
SECRETARY ATEINsoNs
BY SEVERAL DIVIDED COUNTY
BOUNDARY L1NEs-THREE PRECINCTS WHICH LEGIsLA-
TURE APPEARED

The laws provide no way out of the
difficulty said the secretary, "and it
is simply up to this office to act in the
matter as is best. / shall assume the
responsibility of making the best ar
rangement there is to be made, for the
three precincts which have been divid-
ed by the county lines. The plan Of
giving the election officials ballots Of
both counties and letting them give each
voter his proper ballot is fair to all.
1t opens no way to fraud and disfran-
chises none. There is no absolute pro-
vision for it is in the laws, but as a
matter of common sense it is the only
way to conduct the election. ] believe
it will be satisfactory to everyone. All
that is wanted is a fair count and a
full and free chance for every voter
to cast his ballot"
The three precincts divided by county
lines are that of Waimanalo, oahu, the
fourth in West Hawaii and a Kauai
precinct. In all of these the plan to
supply two sets of ballots to the cleo
tion officials will be followed.

Secretary Atkinson's favorite remark
Just now is Eureka" for he has found
a way to solve the county election pro-
blem. In three precincts the county
act MADE o muddle which confronted
those in charge of the election with
dilemma. 1t declared that the pre-
cincts in the coming county election
should be the same as in the last gem
eral election, and at the same time 1t
cut three of the precincts up, placing
half in one county and half in another.
Under such circumstances the task or
carrying out the laws appeared to be
impossible Secretary Atkinson mas
decided to give the election officials IN
the precincts affected two sets of bal
lots. one for each county the precinct
is in. The election officers can hand
the voters whichever ballots they
should have, according to the locations
of their homes. This simple plan VIII
meet the difficulty it is thought, with
out any chance of adversely affecting
the election.
