BUSINESS MEN
SHOULD GET BUSY
A. L. C. Atkinson Puts Matter in
a Plain Way-Their Fault if
Ticket Does Not Suit.

Now Is the time for all good men
to come to the aid of he party" an
| nouneed A. L. {. Atkinson Yesterday,
speaking as the chairman of the eNeeu
tive committee Of the territorial Repub
licans. Mr. Atkinson did not say those
exact words, but that parapnrased what
| he meant.
! =" Now IL the time for those who want
to see a clean, supportable ticket put
| in the field this fall by the Republican
party TO get busy" said Mr.. Atkin
son. elf they do their duty now they
, will not have to do any kicking in
| October when the ticket IS nominated.
! Who is to be nominated depends prin-
| cipally upon who are sent to the county
convention, and that depends upon
what interest is taken by the party
men in the precinct club nominations
TO be made onF riday, the twenty
sixth.
I" Every Republican should see that
he is enrolled as a member of his pre-
/ cinct club. He should attend any pre-
liminary meetings that his club may
hold between now and the twenty six;
consult the officers of the club and
learn what candidates for the conven-
ton are being talked of and what can
didates for the ticket they are going
to support. In short. every Republican
ought to familiarize himself with the
situation as it now exists within the
party and throw his influence on the
right side.
Republican prospects are very
bright. provided the party places its
best men forward With a ticket com
posed of men such as the party can
nominate, there is no reason why every
Republican in Oahu should not support
the straight ticket and why that
straight ticket should not be elected
This can not be done. however, if the
business men of the community feel
that they can not spare the little time
necessary to do their duty toward the
party and toward the city.
Now is the time to do something
After the delegates for the convention
have been chosen. there is little that
the business men can do, while, after
the candidates are nominated at the
convention the time to make any etfec
tive kicks has gone past. 1t j. in the
early stages Of the fight tina the best
work can be done. and that time i
now.
''It i very easy - nominate as
candidate for delegate TO the conven
tion any one whom You want tn see g
there The nomination has to be made
in writing and filed with the secretary
of the precinct club on the evening OF
the twenty-sixth. between seven an(
eight clock The nominations re
ouire no sec0nders, but have to b'
made by a member Of the club.
Il would like to see in the conven

the business interests Of the city. The

ing a good representation there. an,
