dency of the chamber of commerce for
the second term. He is prominently
mentioned for the Office of mayor of
Honolulu, created by the last legisla-

ing municipality of the island and
county of Oahu.
The Democratic party here has ap-
piled for a writ of injunction to pre-
vent the holding of an election for the
office of mayor, declaring the act un-
constitutional. 1t is claimed that GER
tain provisions as to the qualifications
of voters are illegal. The judge of the
circuit court has issued an order on the
board of supervisors to show cause why
the writ should not be issued.
Opinion is divided as to the value of
a municipalitE or the necessity for one
in this community. The act provides
that the office of mayor shall be filed
by a man who will devote all of his
time to the duties of the Office and not
maintain active interests in business or
profession. There are number of poli-
ticians willing to serve their country
in this way, but the voters are weaken
