CONFIDENCE IS LACKING

sHOnOIulu's confidence that the present trend

government for the city will not be strengthened
w the Democratic nominations made yesterday,
Ind there, is a spirit IF strong diScontcnt among
ANY good citizens with the situation as it
lands today, both parties having put up their
icketS
Part Of this situation is due to the business
zen themselves, for the Republican convention
pnnd several good candidates unable or unwill
Elg to run, and at the last moment plans were
lifted and weaker men accepted. Part of the
ttnation is due to the fact that the choosing of
he whole ticket was in the hands of a few men,
nd tactical mistakes were made i'm the use of
heir power One Of these tactical mistakes was
he brusque way i'm which large body of de-
irving Republicans in a certain precinct were
Eeated by the political dictators of the hour.
The trades and bargains of the Republican
Invention were duplicated i'm the trades and
hrgains of the Democratic convention, and it
Improbable that many responsible citizens who
sad today the ticket that the Democrats put up
III change their minds about contemplated
hift of allegiance from the G. o. p. to Bour-

Hght to recognize, and probably do, that the
az is passing in this community when nomina-
ions for office are to be made under the conven-'
lon system. The two county conventions and
heir results ought to make absolutely certain
he passage of direct primary law by the next
legislature. a..
Already there is talk that the Republican di-
bet primary pledge is to be forgotten. To
hose Republicans who are able to reconcile
heir consciences to such a course the STAR
BULLETIN would say here and now that the peo-
lie of this city are in no mood to forget the
ledge, nor to allow it to be broken again.

largely failure. The antiJarrrtt element

kind of compromise, it is not strong combina-

to Democratic success in November

Another argument for the passage of direct
primary law in Hawaii was powerfully set forth
yesterday when the Democratic convention was
controlled from the Fourth district absolutely.
