The above is the cut of John
D. Constant. Republican candi-
date for Probate Clerk. He was
born in this city and has lived in
Sangamon county his entire life.
He comes from old Republican
stock and is thoroughly honest
and capable to fill the office to
which he aspires. His father-in-
law and four uncles were in the
late rebellion and it behooves all
cOlored voters to stand by him
and give him their undivided
support. He was secretary of
the Republican County Central
Committee in 1896. and was also
secretary of the Republican City
Committee in 1904, which posi-
ton brought him in touch with
people thro aghout the city and
county and whose courteous
treatment has made him host
of friends. We therefore heart
lily commend him to voters of
Sangamon county and assure
them they will have man in
Office whom anyone can approach
and be cordially treated.

THE ROAD WORK
ON L|L|HA Street

Honolulu, Hawaii Sept H. 1905.
A couple of weeks since it was noted
one day in the Advertiser that a petit
tion had been presented by the resi-
dents of Liliha street to the Board or
Supervisors that the street should be
put in decent repair as soon as posi-
bic, and il was stated that the Board
had decided to have this done. For
the last few days the gang at work
seems 20 consist of two men spreading
and one cart hauling rock with two
men ard a dump cart cleaning out the
bitches and, apparently to delude the
public with the idea that something Is
really being done, a steamroller cost
ing about so a day is marking time up
and down the undisturbed road and,
occasionally, when a load of rock ar
rives it spends little while getting
that into shape.
] would suggest to the Board that
this seems a very unnecessary and un-
justified waste of public funds and IL
has not even the excuse of being for
political PURPOSES as the roller only
