What VIII Bristow Do in Case
of Harry BOneG

I'VE believe we have too many laws,
too many officers, too much govern
ment. and too high taxes. And we

two years ago when the law was We

the Democrats will try again.
Elsewhere in the platform the Kan

publication of state text books and
promise to adopt a law.

ference with the Commandant as to
the possibility of selling japanese coal
to the navy Admiral Cowles inform.
ed him that all the navy coal was
shipped here by the department direct

done.
Yesterday, however, Mr.. Yokatake
put in some of his time looking over
the land proposition, Just in case my
company might want to locate a
branch here" as he expressed IL. He
made particular Inquiries as to when
the navy was to move its establish.
ment to Pearl Harbor, and If there
was any chance of commercial con.

The only user of Japanese coal here
at the present time is the army, the
