EDITOR
TO BEAT WILSON IN Maine

"C"Id comfort for any party" is th" comment
Of tn" Literary Digest. that impartial Judge Of
IpuhIir opinion. on the Maine election How
ever the Literary Digt~$t'< rather dSrolra"inu
statement that non" Of the three bic partirS-
Republican. Progressive Drlnocratic.-y"t conn
fort from the Maine results is not likely to hold
good now that the presidential campaign is un-
der way.
AS is we'll known, the recent election was fol.
governor. congressman and state officers, and
the ProgreSSivtS and Republican regulars COM
bned, overcamc heavy Democratic majority
and elected their candidate, William T. IIanps
governor
PrOgreSSivism now seems to be- the real kew.
note of the Maine situation. \ glance at the
Maine papers shows how many of the "regular'
members and organizations are DESERVING the
Republican banner to become openly progress
i've.
There is this to be considered still: that the
term "prOgrpssive" in Maine has been for nearly
"a year synonymous with "ROOsevelter." The
real progressives, of the LaFOlette type and the
IIaFOllette fOllOwing long ago broke away from
the standpatters and began war on the Repub-
Iican machine politicians. They were gaining
an ascendancy when Democracy took advantage
of the breach and won the election two years
ago.
When Roosevelt came back into the arena on
his whirlwnd campaign for the nomination at
Chicago the discredited Republicans in Name,
disappointed officeseekers, and, of course, a
number of sincere believers in the colonel,
formed the Progressive party and it was this
element that combined with the progressive Re-
publicans to elect Haines
The combination naturally weakened as soon
as it's object was accomplished and the split over
the presidential candidates again widened. Now
the far-seeing Maine men are endeavOring to
name electors who will be able to vote for Taft
or Roosevelt whichever shows the most
strength Meanwhile, the Progressives are rap
idly building up state and county organizations
and expect to win such following that by No
vember they can span the party breach and out
vote the Wilson Democrats

LITTLE INTERVIEWS

GEORGE K. KANE-The Hui Uni
ona is all right. 1t is my business to
resign the government position and
join the political army commanded by
Joel c. Cohen.
GEO. F. Efficiency" is
my motto. That ought to bring in
votes. The next thing for me to do
is to get down to business and write
out my political speeches.
F.. J. TESTA-I can only blame the
Hawaiians for not sticking together.
Why didn't the Republican and Dem
ocratic Hawaiians nominate Hawai-
ians for legislative and county Offices.
J. G.. ANDERSON-I sincerely hope
that James Bicknell will give me a
chance to run for county auditor two
years hence. ! think he has earned
enough to retire from the activities OF
life.
J. G.. COHEN-I may join the Hui
Uniona yet | believe | have just as
good a chance as the other candi
dates on the Republican ticket. l am
still adhering to Prince Kuhio He Is
my man.

not make my report in English, but
my political influence is such that

tary Fisher of the Interior is the best
official investigator that ever visited

administrative affairs of the Territory
will be the means of lettering the
conditions here generally.
CHAS. K. NOTLEY-I think Secre-
tary Fisher of the Interior, who has
just concluded his investigation of the

satisfactory report of his work to
President Taft after his leturn to
Washington. Secretary Fisher is GER
tainly wonderful man.

The STARBUIIETIN will publish from time
to time during the next few days extracts from
the stenOgraphic reports which this paper has
taken of the testimony at the Fisher hearings.
The testimony bore directly on Hawaii $
problems and presented so many views of these
problems from men qualified by experience and
ability to speak, that every word of it is inter
esting Some of the statements have been too
long to present fully but from first to last the
STAR BUILETIN has covered the hearings fully
and given the public the impartial and I'M
biased story of the investigation through the
medium of StenOgraphic reports.

UP TO HAWAII

Secretary FISHERS twUmnutc talk yesterday
with which he closed his public hearings in IIa
wall, puts 1t fairly up t" the people of Hawai-
to work out their own salvation. His attitude
toward Hawaii, and that Of the national admin
istratiOn, is summarized in this talk In those
two minutes he gave so much sound and frirndl
advice, in such compact form, that it should he
known to every citizen of the territory Said
M Fisher: .
am here. primarily. a. the representative of the
president of the United States, coming it is true, at
the request of both parties this controversy-and
my function is one of purely advisory nature. All
that do is tell the president of the United
States what think he ought do | may say
you that think know what shall say to him, and
!; IT for that rule which makes it courteous
not to say In advance what you intend to say the
president of the United States ] should have hes
itation in saying it However / shall conform
to the rule
There is only other thing | say-that is.
hope the people of this territory will have cleared
up little for them a result of this investigation
the real facts that confront any governor of the
ritory and the difficulties with which he has deal
that they will appreciate little more than they
have that governor ought not to be left to play
lone hand as your governor has been left to play
here and perhaps he is by temperament rather
disposed to play
The fact of the matter is that your destiny is in
your hands There is very little indeed that the
eminent at washington do There is very little
that can do. All that / do is to hold up the
mirror, and ask few questions which may bring out
the situation clearly to that you work out
your own salvation. There is else that can
aid and the you realize in this territory
that 1t is necessary to work out right solution of
political and industrial problems here why, the bet
ter II will be for you. 1t must be worked out and
worked out right No other basis is going to do you
n any good in the long
do not believe ii would be appropriate for to
go any further in the situation this time-all
do is to express my sincere appreciation of the way
In which have been received here and the coopera
ton have received all hands, and the frankness
and willingness with which the people have been
willing to talk to has been great satisfaction to
me; and the way they have recognized that differ
ences exist and always will exist; that back of it
all there is less justification for keeping motives
quiet than frequently apt to suppose.
/ thank you all This is adjournment sine
& die
Mr.. Fisher has declared the steady interest
of the national administration in Hawaii, the
attention that he and his department. will pay to
the problems Of this territory, and at the same
time he has made it quite clear that he relies on
the sturdiness, the observation-disclosures, the pro-
greSsive AmericaniSm of Hawaii as the grea test
forces toward the working out of Hawaii's sal
vatiOn.

ROOSEVELT MEN LOSE
Fail in Attempt to Put CandI-
dates at Top of Ballot.
COURT OF APPEALS DECIDES
Only Place Where the Names Can
Be Printed Is the Foot,
Judges Declare.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

Albany, March 1.-The Court Of Appeals
decided to-day that the names Of can IL
dates for delegates and alternates to the
Republican National Convention AT the pri-
maries must be printed at the bottom OF
the primary ballot. This IL reverse FOR
the Roosevelt boomers. who we're working
through the courts to have the candidates
names printed at the top Of the ballot.
Charles II. Duell, chairman Of the Roose-
welt Committee of New York City, brought
suit I'm the Supreme Court to reverse an
order OF the Board Of Elections Of New
York which would put the names OF candi-
dates for national convention delegates In
the middle OF the list Of candidates. The
Tammany direct primarT" law. among its
other faults, had failed 10 specify any po-
sitlon on the primary ballot for candidates
for delegates To the national conventions,
though making arrangements for the order
Of other delegates and members of party
committees to ne chosen at the primaries.
The lower courts refused to interfere with
the decision of the Board Of Elections. 80
Mr.. Duell carried the case To the Court of
Appeals.
Writing the opinion FOR the court, Judge
Under the circumstances. endeavoring TO
supply the omission Of the Legislature ~
best we can a majority OF the court be-
lieve that we should direct the names OF
candidates for selection as national dele
gates and alternates to be printed on the
ballot, but in such n way as not 10 inter
frre with the order prescribed by the LeSis-
latlre so far az the provision goes. That
provision prescribes the order OF printing
the names OF certain candidates from top
to bottom We think ii is a violation of
the statute to insert the names OF candi-
dates for selection az national delegates IN
the midst OF the list as has been done We
think also It would be al variance with the
statute To prescrb, that their names should
be printed at the top Of the list, for the
statute prescribes the order from top 10
bottom. This necessarily leaves as the
only place whore such names can be print
ed the foot Of the ballot"
Chief Judge Cullen and Judges Bartlett
and Collin voted with Judge Hscock.
Judges Haght and Nann dissented and
Judge Chase voted for a modification of
the order Of the courts below
