The weather today while it has main

characteristic of the present season has
been disagreeable day. The wind has

the dust has surged into every nook and

easily transformed into a receipts tacle for
real estate, so much SO that it takes
about 15 minutes for dress suit to look
like rural garb. The streets and es-

Democrats plan to capture senators
from the Island of Hawaii by naming
Governor John Baker and Ollie Ship
man In the next campaign.
They also have decided to inaugurato
new system in local political war
fare, by subdiylding every precinct in
the islands into FIVE sub-preciucts and
following the Tammany plan Of ap-
pointing a party manager for each
such subdivision.
Governor John Baker Is in Honolulu
and 50 Is Senator Palmer Woods Of
Hawaii and the latter and other lead
ing Democrats have been urging Baker
to run for the Senate. Baker has been
quite a political preacher to Hawaii
ans about their political duties, and It
has been urged upon him that 1t Is his
political duty to run for the Senate.
It is conceded that he would be both
a strong candidate and a fine repre-
sentative of the Hawaians in the up-
per house, and the ex-governor is way-
ering. He will probably take the nom
ination, being convinced that 1t is his
civic duty.
Senator John r. Brown does not
want to run again on the Republican
side. It Is understood that as a run
ming mate for Baker the Democrats
will probably put up o. r, Shipman, al
present a member Of the Hawaii Board
OF Supervisors. Republicans concedC
that Baker and Shipman would b'
hard to beat on Hawaii, and the Demo
Gratis are claiming a probable Senate
gain as a result Of their political stra
tegy in capturing Baker and Shipmar
for their ticket
The precinct plan being put into ef
feet Is new one here, though 1t Il
nothing more than an elaboration o
the Republican plan Of organization
Instead Of having merely precinct or
ganlzations, the Democrats propose t'
divide each precinct into five small
districts, and the man placed in charg,
Of each will be expected to swing hii
