Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1908-03-26

In conclusion we beg to express the
sentiment that there never has been
a time In the annals of this Territory
so suspicious to the hopes of our par
ty as the present; and this fact, coup
led with the party's bright prospects
of victory in the coming NG.lonal cleo
ton, should stimulate diligent effort
On the part of every member in secur.
ing the application and perpetuation
of Democratic principles of govern.
ment throughout our island Territory.
1t Is important therefore that we
should secure control of both houses
of the Legislature and thereby gain
the opportunity for completing Coun.
~ government along lines obtaining
elsewhere under the American flag.
Relying on youi faithful, co-opera-
tion in effecting organization and per.
forming the substantial work neces.
sary to insure supremacy of our party
in the ensuing election. we remain.
Another important change which
has been made in the rules is for
the purpose of preventing political
acrobatic stunts, such as are per-
formed by candidates who are dis
appointed by one party and seek con-
ISOLATION with another. This is COW
cred by the following rule:
Section Is. Any member seeking
political Office through this party,
before becoming Il candidate for
nomination thereto in Democratic
convention, shall first be required 70
sign a pledge that in the event of his
failure to secure the desired nominal
tion he will not thereafter or prior
to the ensuing election, seek nomi-
nation for the same or any other
public Office from any other political
party, nor appear as an independent
or rival candidate for any public Of
flee for which a Democratic candi-
GATE has been duly nominated.
Section 16. A member of the par
~ seeking appointment to position
in the government service shall adj
dress the Executive Committee of
his club in writing stating the posi-
ton he desires to I'LL and his quaNfi-
cations for the same. Should they
or a majority of them endorse his
candidacy, he will transmit to the
| Central Committee within whose jur-
lsdiction the appointment is to be
made, both his application and the
recommendation of the Precinct
Committee. When the Central Com
! mittee to whom the matter has been
presented is satisfied that all appli-
cations for the position are in their
hands, they shall submit The same or
those majority of the Committee
can recommend, to the officer charg-
ed with making the appointment
with request that his selection be
from the names submitted.
No other method of application or
appointment shall be construed as
securing party endorsement.
We are nSIIBreparing to organ
lie the Demoatapit party on Kauai, .
said John Emmsldth, the secretary
of the Central Committee, today.
we expect to completed this within
the next few weeks We have re-
ceived from Kauai a number of re-
quests that this be done, and VIM.
Mossman Of Eva and some Others
will soon go TO Kauai to assist in the
organization of the Democrats there.
so far no call has been issued for
meetings of the precinct clubs for
the nomination and election of Off
GERS to the Territorial convention. It
lies with National Committeeman

probably be set as follows: Nominq-
ton Of delegates, May 4; election OF
delegates, May IL; Territorial con-
vention, May %. 1t will probably
