The deliberations Of the Territorial
Senate did not produce anything beyond
the Chillingworth home rule resolution
yesterday that was apart from the ordi.
nary routine work and that was distin.
gushed by its brefness. Even Coelho
failed to enliven the proceedings by a
few legislative handsprings-which the
statesman from Maui can generally be
relied upon to produce when there is an
evident danger of the proceedings be-
coming dull.
The afternoon session was occupied
by consideration of the new election
law, Senate Bill 12l, in committee
of the whole, Palmer Woods being in
the chair. Senator Mccarthy acted as
the interpreter of the bill, it being con.
sidered section by section.
He explained in the beginning that
the bill did not make any changes of
consequence in the prevailing election
laws and that the inclusion of provis.
ion for a great register was the most
radical method of addition contem-
plated.
A proposed change in the method of
placing the names of candidates upon
the ballot called forth criticism from
Senator w. o. Smith who said that he
thought the alterations tended to COM
plication.
"Can you find anything more confus-
Hng than the present election LAVISH

lations and methods of the present law

ter was read from Major Winslow of
the Engineer Corps, U. A., inviting
the members of the Legislature to in.
spect the Notifications at Diamond
Head. The invitation was accepted on
the motion of Senator Mccarthy and
the Committee on Military Affairs will
make the necessary arrangements for
the inspection of the Notifications
through the courtesy of Major Win
slow.
