when any Of the levers Of the royal game
from your city come this way they will
receive q most cordial welcome.
Considerable interest attaches TO the
local option question. This has come
into prominence on account Of the dec
Jaration therefor in the Republican state
platform. One of the immediate effects

Dubois is Defeated.

The Idaho supreme court has held
that the law governing primaries and
conventions is mandatory, and this de-
cision has quashed the last hopes Of Du-
bois and his followers. Dubois admits
that the majority of delegates regularly
chosen by county conventions were
against him, but based his hopes for con-
troll on the action of convention dele
gates selelected by him. /. w. Hart,
clerk Of the court, has been appointed
referee to take testimony relative to the
manner In which delegates were elected
and is directed to make his report next
Wednesday. The final proceedings will
mark the end Of Dubois as politician.

Smith At SEATTLE

The Pacific Builder and Engineer
of Seattle publishes the following re-
lgarding G. II. Smith. who Is favor
ably known in Honolulu:
Mr.. c. ii. Smith is a consulting
and construction engineer who. after
twenty years of experience in the
business has come to aid in the con-
structive development of the North
west. and is now located at $50 Col
man block, Seattle.
The foundation of Mr.. Smiths spc-
cialty--wet ground work-was laid
In the early nincties, when he was
employed under Howard A. Carson,
chief engineer for the Metropolitan
Sewerage Commission of Massachu-
sets, in driving compressed air
tunnel through the soft mud and
clay under the Mystic river. Then
followed the laying of foundations,
"a feet below low tide, for the sewer
pumping station at Charlestown,
Mass.
Following these Jobs. Mr.. Smith
was put in charge of night construc-
ton on Section 6, Boston subway, and
for the next two years he was busy
directing the shield and open-cut
work on the 19x23 tunnel through
pea gravel and hardpan.
For the years following 1898 and
up to the spring of this year. Mr..
Smith was located at Honolulu,
where he did general engineering for
the Department of Public Works; de-
signed and constructed tho Diamond
Head reservoir; got out plans and
specifications for the Kalihi reservoir,
100 $50 and u feet deep: was en-
gineer in charge of construction on
dam for 400, 900. 900 gallon reservoir
Honolulu water works; designed the
Waimea water works; got out plans
and specifications for the IIilo sewer
system; constructed the Honolulu
outfall sewer, 1900 feet through
hard coral and the laying of a "a.
inch steel pipo incased in concrete
through heavy surf.
Lord & Belser, contractors, en-
ploycd Mr.. Smith as consulting cngi'
neer on work In Manila and the la,

II Is evident that Seattle has In
C. II. Smith a good man to handle
sea wall, sewer, and subway con

of the hour.

success.
Due regard should be had for the
suggestions and the common sense of
the conscientious party workers who
are in touch with the people, know
what they want, and can strike fair
average in picking the candidates.
The baCk-parlOr men should not be
without representation. but there is
no good reason why the drones should
re the diCtators. The political loaf
ers are entitled to no more respect
than the street-corner loafer. Money,

litical game.
Hardly less important than the
ticket to be named is the personnel OF
the local campaign committee. Here
again proportional representation Is
desirable, but every man on the lis,
should be WORKER--a promoter

dealing.

ATTEND YOUR PRIMARY.

The Republican primaries are to
be held Saturday afternoon.
The workers do not have to he told.
They are always on guard. The gen.
tleman from whom the fact deserves
especial attention are those who, in q
great many instances, forget that the
primaries are to be held. until the
day after or several days after,
when they sometimes wake up and
join the complaining minority.
The favOrite remark of the stay-at-
homes and the sour balls of politics
is that everything is fixed and it
doesn't make any difference whether
they vote or not.
How do they know that every
thing is fixed" il their individual and
collective ballots are withheld from
the voting and only their complain
ing whine is evidence that they arc
in existence? The only fixed guam
tity so far as they are concerned Is
their absence. and while they main
tain this attitude the full responsible
ity for shortcomings and errors falls
upon them--they have not done what
they could
The Republican party has an i'm

nomination of Delegate Kuhio Is as

name him should be made up of care
