The Japanese is certainly keen
business man who knows how to attract
customers and who can be comical at
the same time. Here is good story
that is worth relating, which concerns
an Englishman and his lady companion.
The two English travellers from Aus
tralia were on their way to America
last week. They reached the fair shores
of Hawaii on the same boat which
brought His Britannia Maiesty's Am.
bassador, the Honorable Mr.. Bryce.
Coming into town from the Punahou
district, the rapid transit car stopped
mt the corner of Alapai and Beretania.
The lady spotted an advertising sign
N front of shop and exclaimed
Look, / thought you have often times
stated authoritatively that there were
no lions in Hawaii" Without stopping,
she continued to read from the sign:
1.-THE Lion--Cleaned, Dyed and" She
stopped short before she came to the
word REPAIRED.

DEMOCRATS HAVING
SOME TROUBLE, TOO
County Committee Captured by
Jarrett Forces-WiIl Inves-
igate a Few.

Until the week or so before the
Democratic county convention is held
the pre-convention fight will progress
with the Jarrett Rose faction claiming
control of the county committee, in
spite of the fact that Harry Juen is
its chairman, David Kahaleaahu its
secretary and that Ben Kahalepuna is
chief interpreter. All three are dis
charged policeman and all of them are
large in the councils Of the Crouch
Democrats. A meeting of the county,
committee Saturday night is said to
have been the turning point of the
committee fight, the Jarrett repre-.
sentatives on it appearing with proxies
that would have given them strength
sufficient to break down any little
game the anti-Jarrett crowd could
start.
1t did not start anything, though,
possibly because it knew there was n
club hanging over its head and the
only things that it INDUCED in were
| the appointments Of committees to
examine into few protests by dis
gruntled ants who had been dumped
by the precinct clubs in the last
primaries.
Ed, Hanapi, former candidate for
senatorial honors filed one protest. His
ticket had been literally wiped out in
the tenth of the fifth where William
Miles captured the entire delegation
for the sheriff. He claimed that most
of the men he nominated to help the
ants out in the convention had with
drawn before primary day owing to
excessive coaxing on the part Of Miles
and his friends. He also charged
fraudulent handling of the fou7 dele.
gates who refused to be coaxed.
He asserted in letter to the com.
mittee that although there had been
seventy eight ballots cast, four extra
were found when they were countcd.
He did not say that the four ballots
might have elected the Crouch repre-
sentatives who were, as II was, beaten
three to one, and the jarrett people
were perfectly willing to have the
matter investigated, asserting that n
close inquiry would show four votes too
many for each of the four ants who
couldn't be coaxed Off the ticket.
Two affidavits were fled charging
Hugo Kanae, at present a member of
the police force, with being on h0th
the Democratic and Republican rolls of
the ninth of the fifth and of having
voted in the primaries of both clubs.
A committee was also apo nted for
this case which the Jarrett people
agreed to, and it will report Tuesday.
There will be secret nceting Tues.
day at which the convention date will
be named. The date was discussed
Saturday night, but it was decided to
wait until the Republicans had an.
nounced their date.

rent of convention hail and to man.

FIGHT ON SECRET BALLOT
(From Monday Advertiser)

The majority of the delegates to the
territorial convention met Mt the Kala-
nianaole residence yesterday afternoon
and discussed the temporary organiza-
ton of the convention.
Several of the party leaders took oc-
casion to express their sentiments with
reference to the ballot question, there
being some good sound argument ad-
vanced in behalf of the open ballot.
Judge Mahaulu of Waialua spoke in
both the Hawaiian and English lam
guage in favor of having the conyen-
ton 20 on record in favor of the open
ballot. The speaker believed that if
the open ballot should be put into prac.
tise it would tend to uplift the man
hood of his people. With the present
system it allowed for a man to sell him.
self under cover of having no one
know how he had voted.
Mahaulu ended his talk by asking
the delegates to the convention to
think what it would mean to the Ha
Watkins if they could be pointed Out
for their manhood on political ques
ltibhs- rather than have the finger OF
shame point to them as moral towards

The strongest opposition offered tt
Judge Mahaulu was made by the Rev
erend Mr.. Desha. He could not agre,
with the 'Waialua man and. as in hi.
speech of the night before, Desha agair
fell back on Scripture, to point out
why the secret ballot should be kept
in vogue. edo not let your left hand
know what your right hand Does
quoted Desha, and the delegates WHIT
understood Hawaiian smiled.
Mr.. Breckops, in behalf of the opeI
ballot system, argued that he woult
like to see plank inserted in the plat
form asking the Legislature to enact
laws making it crime TO use coercion
at both conventions and elections. Il
this were done it would then be pos
sible to have the open ballot without
fear of having delegates object to the
use of the same.
Asking to be allowed to go on record
as being against the use of the secret
ballot on questions of legislation, A. d
Castro argued that the secret ballot
made it possible for delegates to make
promises they did not intend to fulfill

to modify these. if possible. He argued
in favor of plank fair TO the home

Mr.. Single also advanced the idea
that on Tuesday evening monster

the different platform planks could be

favorably upon the proposition and a
