BUSY ALREADY IN
THE PRECINCTS
Democrats Say Republican Work
Forced Them to Begin
Activities.

You began il, - : what the Demo
Gratis are saying TO the Republicans IL
connection with the extraordinary pO-
lltical activity Of the present IN all the
precincts Of this Island. Though the
election is far off, the party workers
are hustling Just as f they were on the
eve of a primary. The Democrats say
that the Republicans started the work,
and that it was necessary for the fol-
lowers Of Bryan to work also in order
to keep even.
The charge appears to have consid
cradle truth in il, and the Republicans
don t seem disposed to deny It. In
fact, they are rather proud Of it. When
the Republican county committee re
Gently began to study the political stu
alton and decided upon LorIin Andrews
for chairman and party manager, the
party's organization appeared to be in
pretty bad shape. 1t was decided TO
reorganize at once, and all over the
Island steps were taken to put new life
into the precinct rolls. The result was
tHrA pee tiliN 4dl -. ItRIL4tt lux pun
lican rolls began to grow so fast that
the Republicans cOuldn t believe they
were true and suspected Democratic
stutfing. Then the Democrats got busy
themselves. and now they are hustling
to enroll the voters. The Republican
workers say they have caDbaged the
vote already.
THE Republicans began it, said
NcCandless yesterday, in speaking of
the unusual political activity. I've
had to show SIX to their half-dozen,
and so when they started il precinct
work We started in also
McaCndIess neglected to volunteer
his views on the prohibition issue and
didn I enthuse with any expression
when the matter was mentioned.
Senator ". G. Achi has been doing
some political talking in IIilo. So has
Senator Makekau, according t 0 the Hiio
Tribune, which publishes an account of
gathering at which the two senators
dId considerable talking, Makekau be
ing accused Of an intention to support
Link McCandless. The account runs as
follows:
There was an informal conference
of the powers last week. Several we'll
known politicians happened to fore
gather in Hilo, and last Thursday they
met in the office of the county clerk.

correspondence which has created some
doubt in my mind. :"
