Pleased
or Mad
with Carter?
REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMIT
TT IS AT.

The Republican County Committee
doesn't know whether to be pleased
with Governor Carter because he APP
pointed the man the committee want
ed for supervisor, or to be mad because
the governor made the appointment
without consulting the committee.
Some of the members feel gratifed
that the governor chose the man whom
the local party organization wanted,
while others wanted him to hear from
them before action.
A meeting of the committee was call
ed for yesterday afternoon to make
endorsements for the office, but before
the time for meeting arrived the gov
ernor had made an appointment No
action was taken, largely because the
members of the committee didn't know
just where they were at. Dwight, the
man whom the governor appointed, is
the man whom the committee wanted
and whom they would have endorsed
above all others. AS the governor has
been regarded as somewhat at outs
with the local party organization, his
selection of the parry man was very
pleasing to members of the committee.
In fact it was regarded by some as a
sort of return by the executive to the
party after his split with The organiza-
ton last election.
At the meeting, however, there were
some members who thought there
should be an expression of some sort
regarding the governors failure to
wait to hear from the committee be-
fore making his appointment No ac-
ton was taken, and the meeting adj
journed with the members of the COM
mittee unable to decide whether they
ought to be sore or pleased, but prob
ably more inclined to be pleased than
otherwise, for their man was landed

the members of that party had been to
him to sound his desires in this respect.
But McGurn is content evidently, to let
well enough alone. He is now deputy
warden at the Oahu Prison and he does
not hunger for anything else in the
way of political preferment. In fact
McGurn declares positively, that he
will not consider the matter.

quarters of the work. Fraser has OPP

Hawaiian Board of immigration on the
spot, supervising the work of the i'm
migration company and watching the
interests of Hawaii. AS soon as enough
immigrants are scored Stackable is
to be notified, and he >'ilI at once start
a steamer from London to take the
immigrants to Hawaii. 1t is estimated
that about 300 families, including some
thing like a thousand people, will come
on such steamer, if the plan succeeds.

SON chairman of the Board of Immi-

there and investigate the conditions,
so that we might know what source Of
immigrants is there, if the Azores sup
ply does not prove sufficient. How
ever the dates on which he left Ponta
del Gada and arrived in London do
not indicate that he haS been to italy
yet"
Atkinson is inclined to regard the
mission of Stackable as a success. 1t
is expected that advices will be receiv-
ed from Stackable ere long giving re-
suits of the work with the immigration
company, and the members of the
Board of immigration would not be
surprised if the advices are to the eff
feet that steamer load of immigrants
is starting.
