HONOLULU, April 21.-The OBJ
servatory in the Kiamuia section of
this city, which was built for the
purpose of observing Halley's COM
ct, has been opened and the public
has been invited to inspect the
structure.
The building was erected by
popular subscription. 1t is SUBJ
stantial and is equipped with appli-
ances suitable for observing the
stars.
BY special arrangement those
who helped defray the cost of con-
struction are allowed admittance to
the building at any time.
Yesterday morning an attempt
was made to observe the comet as
it rose, but owing to the presence
of heavy cloud bank on the east
ern horizon, the tailed star was not
seen. Another attempt will be
made today.

To the Voters of the 4th
Congressional Dist.

l again appear before you as a candi-
date for Congress. l would not do so
if l had not been deprived of my legal
right to run in the second primary in
1903 by maniK u'ation and chicanery and
fraud practiced by T. u. Sisson and his
~confederates at the District executive
committee meeting at Eupora on Aug
ust 81, 1908. In the first primary Sisson
received S, 100 votes; Hill 5,4O5; Bledsoe
1.449; majority against Sisson LESS.
The law absolutely required "a MAORI
ty of all votes cast" to make a candi-
date the legal nominee. Hill withdrew
before the meeting of the committee
hence the term candidate" could no
longer be applied to him. There being
two candidates left, they were neces-
sarily the 1.-TWO highest candidates
and a second primary should have been
ordered to give the people their right
to decide between the two remaining
candidates. Yet by means of two prox-
les from Pontatoc and Chickasaw coun-
ties and the illegal seating of Frank A.
Critz for Clay county, who was not
w a proxy, as Clay county had failed
to appoint a committeeman, T. u.
Sisson was declared the nominee, not
even a fair discussion being allowed.
The exclusion of F. A. Critz, a tele-.
gram from Frank Robertson, commit
teeman of Pontotoc county, in favor of
a second primary, apparently held back
and not delivered till after adjournment
of the committee, would each have
changed the result.
DR.. B. F. Ward, the eminent citizen
of Montgomery county, wrote (Winona
Times, Sept. A, 1909 "the ruling of the
committee was clearly wrong as far as
the purpose and intent of the law are
concerned. In this case the end of the |
law has been defeated and the people

Cunningham ano BtIbo-

~ HOSE in charge of the Bilbo speaking at Winona and
- North Carrollton next week, have refused to give I. q.
@D0H YeweIl or any other speaker an opportunity to answer
Bilbo. A gentleman, who resides in Grenada, heard
state Senator Cunningham answer Bilbo at Iuka a few days ago. This
gentleman states that Cunningham shook his finger under Bilbo's
nose and told him he was a liar and a coward and that when ne Dbl
boz bade his wife and baby good bye at Poplarville to go to the meet
ing of the legislature that he put a country girl in the train and
carried her to Jackson and then put her in a negro assignation house.
This Bnbo did not deny.
This gentleman states that Bilbo made a very strong and effec-
tive speech and that it appeared that a vast majority OF the crowd
was with in his first speech, however, he states tn at after Cunning
hams speech many would not hear Bibo any longer.
In our judgement Bnbo is aiding Vardaman very much and if no
attempt is made to answer him, he will sow 'pestilence" to the anti
Va-daman element. Blu. there NAV be a reaction.
Hon. Earl Brewer is receiving more invitations to speak in var
ious parts of the state than he can fill, Heis speaking almost every
day and everywhere. His speech is spoken of as the utterance of an
orator and a statesman. He has accepted an invitation to address
the labor organizations of Adams County at Natchez on Sep !. From
every section Of the state comes the information that, Brewer will
be the next Governor" This is good. He will make a great Gov
ernor.
