ORGANIZATION IS
NECESSARY THING

81 am working solely for the reor
ganization of the Republican party in
this county" said Representatives elect
L. A. Douthitt, yesterday, "and have
no idea of coercing any of the elected
officials of the county nor of attempting
to dictate to them. We are not making
any demands for a recognized right to
dictate appointments, either, in spite
of what construction may have been
put on my words.
Everybody knows there has to be
organization in political party, just
as there must be organization in any
going concern. AS soon as the organ.
ization ceases and those at the head are
not able to pick up the loose ends with
out delay, right there the party ceases
to be a force and corporation begins
to go to pieces. The reason the Demo.
Gratis won as much as they did in the
last election, in the face of majority
Of Republican voters in the county, was
because they had good organization,
an organization which their victories
in November has strengthened. If
their organization is maintained and
ours is allowed to go to pieces, at the
next election we will be swept from
the boards. Then what will be the
consequences to this Territory, whose
continued welfare surely depends on the
maintenance of Republican principlesf
"The Republican county committee
does not want to appoint the county
officers but it is certainly just that all
appointees should be endorsed by us.
i should think that the elected officials
would welcome the necessity of having
list of endorsed men to select from,
because in the horde that bother them
for jobs they certainly have enough
trouble. When an applicant can be re-
ferred to the committee it takes a part
of the responsibility off the shoulders
of the officials without in any way les.
SEEMING their right of choice. Naturally
all applications should be made to the
one who has the appointing power, but
that official should refer the applicants
to us before choosing him."

WILL REARREsT THE
TRIO OF GAMBLERS

County Attorney Cathcart yesterday
Kalakiela to rearrest the three Chinese
gamblers whose cases were nol-prossed
in police court on Monday morning.
The men were charged with maintain
ing gambling house, the arrests grow
ing out of the famous raid in Mauna-
kea street recently by Joe Leal, when
twenty.seven Chinese were arrested for
playing paikau.
When the cases were called in court
Monday after a short discussion be-
tween Prosecutor Milverton and c. F..
Chillingworth, counsel for the defend.
ants, nolle prosequi was entered by the
former against all the defendants. The
police were rather annoyed at this sum-
mary dismissal of the cases, and Sheriff
Iaukea expressed himself as consider.
ably surprised at the action taken by
Mr.. Milverton. When the cases were
called Chief of Detectives Kalakiela
was absent from the court room momen-
tarily. No one was sent for him to
come into court and when he did arrive
he found the cases disposed of.
There is likely to be some sensational
evidence presented, and it may be the
means of determining whether or not
the allegations of some of the gamblers,
that police protection has been afforded
this particular game are true.
