IMMIGRATION COMPROMISE
(From Sundays Advertiser.)

elf the members of the Republican
party would only read up on the rules
under which the party organization is
carried on, they would know that it is
nonsense for anyone to talk of the
party being controlled by any boss, or
being in the hands of any one man, -
said Senator John c. Lane yesterday,
discussing the general Republican sit.
uation.
Mr.. Lane is not one of the few who
are being influenced by the silly talk
that an attempt is being made by any.
one to rule the Republican organization
or boss it over the precinct leaders. He
knows the foolshness betrayed in such
talk and also sees the weakening of the
party that such talk will bring about
if continued.
"The party rules are such that when
the convention meets this fall it will
be representative of the party as a
whole,'' he continued. cit will be com.
posed of men selected by the members
of the party, and it can not be, in any
sense, one-man convention. If those
who talk so much would only read the
rules little they would see where
they are wrong. The trouble with some
Republicans is that they talk all the
time and never take time to find out
whether they are right or wrong
Immigration Compromise.
y Lane is of the opinion that the i'm
migration question is going to be the
big one of the campaign. "'The Ad-
vertiser had it right this morning." he
said. "The question is to be the diff
cult one to handle. In my opinion it
would be a wise thing to compromise
little in the matter. Otherwise we
are in danger of losing the whole ben.
eft of the immigration policy of the
government. The situation, as | see it,
is this: On the one hand we have the
mass of the people opposed to the con
tinuation of the present immigration
system, seeing only the expense attach
ed and the fact that the money raised
here in taxes is being sent away to
bring labOrers who may take their
places. On the other hand we have the
sugar interests, upon whom we all de.
pend, and we have, as well, to remem-
Der that Washington is watching us in
this matter.
cit would be an easy thing to 90
among the voters and inflame them
against the present system, telling them
that money is being sent away that
should be spent here. Without think
ing further, they would be inclined to
vote against the whole immigration
system.
"However, if we were in a position
to point out to the people that this
money is being contributed by the
plantations, and that only part of it
is being sent out of the country any
way, and that, as an aid to the. Ha-
waiian taxpayers, it could be promised
that another portion of it would here
after be used for school purposes for
the education of their children, they
would be inclined to support the law
thus amended.
cit is a difficult question, because it
will be COMPOUNDED for the voters, but
a compromise would save it. Thus the
people would get something and the
sugar interests would get something"
Believes Chances Good.
Lane expressed the belief that his
chance of nomination as the mayoralty
candidate is good. He said he had not
been doing much work in his own be-
half, but had been encouraged in what
little he had done He believes that
the Republican nominee can be elected
over Fern or any other Democrat, pro-
vided the party can get together and
go into the fight united.
Cecil Brown for Senate.
Cecil Brown for senator from the
fourth district is another business man
whose name has been brought forward.
SC y,ragt1ant &c ba Eirgf Natinna1
Bank, and has been in politics before.
He was in the first territorial legisla-
ture.
Brown s candidacy, if it proves to be
fact, makes the fourth district SEN
atorship a matter of very lively com
petition. The other possible nominees
include Joe Cohen, John Waterhouse,
John Hughes and C. +. Chillingworth.
With this list of willing citizens it is
evident that there will be a lively fight
for the nomination, with the certainty
that whoever be chosen will command
the full party strength.
In view of the fact that the first and
one of the most important steps to-
wards securing party ticket will be
taken on Friday of next week, when
the nominations for delegates to the
conventions will be made and when
those Republicans who have so far
neglected to get busy and enroll in
their precinct club are expected to be
on hand for that ceremony, the follow
ing list of those mentioned so far as
candidates for nomination is given. The
list does not pretend TO be complete.
nor is it that of any special section of
the party. II contains the names of
those who have been mentioned in the
press or on the street as possibilities.
From the list, however, n ticket could
be selected that would be superior TO
any the party has ever had in the
field.
