VICE PRESIDENTIAL VACANCY
AND HOW It Will BE FILLED

the voters Of the United States real
ize that the people are not choosing
a president next Tuesday They vote
only for electors, who will meet some
time, probably next January. and
cast the votes which really elect the
president and vice president
Now if all or any of the nominees
for president and vice president we're
to die before the electors meet. they
will still be privileged to select a
president and vice-president to serve
the country.
The thing which really has hap
pened is that the death of Mr.. Sher-
man has created a vacancy in the
! ce-presidency from now till the Attn
of next March, the end of the term for
, which he was elected in 1908. This
vacancy the senate will fill at their
first meeting next December, unless
sooner called in extra session, but
their choice will only hold office till
the fourth of March.
AS each voter in New York can vote
for 45 electors, it will be seen that he
has fifteen times the power in choos-
ing a president than a voter in Della
ware, who can only vote for three. So
one in Illinois has five times the pow
er of one in Dakota.
However. the election may go next
! Tuesday, the choice of president will
not be known with absolute certainty
till the electoral college meets.
Yours truly,
. F. S. HAFFORD.~

A GOOD RECORD TO STAND ON

If there is any virtue in a candidates stand
ing on his record, A. s. KaleiOpu should be re-
turned to the senate by the voters of Oahu.
Senator A. F.. Judd, who uses words of praise
sparingly. served with Kaleiopu in. the senate
two years ago. He says of him:
"My service with Mr.. Kaleiopu in the senate
gave me a great deal of respect for his ability
and conscientious adherence to duty. He was
nobody's fool. He took nobOdys say-so on any
measure, but did his own thinking. He was one
of the Independent senator's who voted with
full regard for what they believed were the in
terests of all the people He voted against the
Fairchild land bill, and believe he voted with
me against that measure because he thought it
was the right thing to do in the interests of all
Hawaii. 1t wasn't his first experience in the
legislature. He had served the two previous
terms in the house. The voters of this district
can't afford to let the opportunity go by to send
back to the senate native Hawaiian who has
made the record KaleiOpu has made
= That kind of a record. we believe, entities a
man to favorable consideration by the voters of
this senatorial district, particularly the Repub-
lican voters.

Col. Sam Parker deserves far more serious
consideration than Fern. Col. Parker would
add a dignity to the office of mayor that is ut
terly lacking now. and a wellknOwn American
speaker once said that mayors chief duty is
to wear frock coat several times a year and
shake hands freely Joking aside, the pictur-
esque colonel would have sound advice from a
number of prominent Republicans on public
questions, and he is devoted to several issues
that his influence with all classes would help to
solve rightly. The Parker candidacy can stand
a whole lot of thinkngov"r by the electorate.

There are number IF young Republicans
running for various offices this year who ought
to be elected. Such men as A. L. Castle and E.
r. Fernandez for the house, Charley Costa for
the deputy sheriffship, Clarence Cooke for the
senate, Norman Watkins and William William
son, Fourth district candidates. for the house,
Edwin III. Paris and Charley Arnold for the
board of supervisors, are youngsters, compare
lively young in politics and most of them in
years, and will bring vigor and intelligence to
public work. J. B. Enos, about whom little has
been heard in this campaign, should be good
supervisor. He possesses solid qualities of citi-
zenship and will have the point of view that
guarantees representation for the element of
population mscalled the middle classes. These
mentioned are among long list of good men,

Sir:-ln yesterdays issue, page |,

death, occurs an. erroneous statement,
which, for the sake of HaWaii's young
students of politics, ought to be cor

death leaves Taft without a running
mate, and that if he shall be elected
it will be necessary for the senate to
choose temporary chairman who
will preside over the deliberations of
that body for the next four years"
Now the facts are that Mr. Taft
will be provided with a running mate
before next Tuesdays election, as it
is within the province and duty of the
executive committee of the Republic
an party to fill this nomination. But
even if Mr.. Sherman's death had oc-

Oklahoma City.-ApproXlmately Al
lives are known to have been sacrific-

tornado of unusual magnitude swept
through northern Texas and the state
of Oklahoma. Several others are re-
ported dead, but this cannot be con-
frmed. The injured list will exceed
100. Fully 20 towns suffered. The
property loss cannot be estimated,
The heavy wind was accompanied
by terrific downpour of rain and in
many instances hail. The fall Of
rain amounted to from one to five
inches. AS result all Of the smaller
streams in western Oklahoma were on
a rampage. The Rock Island bridge
over the Cimarron river, 30 miles
south of Enid, was washed out.
The two branches of Elk Creek, west
Of Hobart, have joined and the stream
was more than a mile wide.
A farmers family of four, living

Appropriation of ST 100000 to
Rebuild and Strengthen
Damaged LeveeS.

Washington, ID. Cone and half
million dollars is available for re-

only thing necessary is the presidents S
signature
The resolution directs the secretary
of war to rebuild the levees, either by
contract or otherwise, in accordance
with plans and specifications of the
Mississippi River Commission, APPROX
ed by Chief Of Engineers BiXby. Gen
eral Bixby said that no time will be
lost, and that the district officers have
started the work.
He has no doubt but that, with am
pie appropriation, the levees will be
in condition TO withstand the eX-
pected June floods. Representative
Ransdell of Louisiana and Humph-
reys of Mississippi and Jacoway of
Arkansas, were in charge Of the reso-
luton while it was being considered
in the house. There was no debate as
to the merits Of the proposition, and
concensus of opinion being that the
amount was not too large and that 1t
should be ready for use without de.
lay
BY the terms of the measure, the
amount actually expended shall be de-
