Signing q. o. p. Rolls.

The schap has brought forth won
derful desire on the part of Democrats
and Home Rulers, particularly the
former, to sign the Republican rolls.
Ben Brown, the keeper of the Hilo roll,
admitted that many Democrats had
signed his roll, and expressed the belief,
as every one else does, that they did SO
merely to throw their votes for Kuhio
delegates.
Dourbons Quiet.
In the Democratic camp things are
pretty quiet No great interest is TAX
en- in the coming primaries and it is
quite likely that any candidate who
will agree to go to Honolulu can have
the job, and may even be given a few
proxies for luck.
The Hilo Democrats take but little
interest at present in the Mccarthy
McCandless row. They deplore the fact
that the split will hurt the cause of
Democracy, and for this reason they
do not wish to take hand in the scrap
which might tend to further complicate
matters.
One thing is significant, and that is
that the leaders maintain the view that
the coming convention, called for the
election of delegates to the national
convention in Baltimore, should con-
Germ itself with that bushes alone, and
that the nomination of candidate for
delegate, as well. as the drafting of the
territorial platform, should be left un-
til later in the year.
The Hilo Democrats do, however, not
seem to wish it to be understood that
fha,. toll nrA -, - D.
fight, even though their stand is coin
cidental with that taken by Colonel Nc
earthly.
Postpone Nomination.
! Such Democratic headers as Harry
Irwin, c. K. Mcguire and Deputy
County Attorney Heel said, when ask
ed for their opinions last week, that
they wanted to have the nomination OF
a delegate to congress postponed un.
til the usual time.
HThe best thing we can do now is
to send as our delegates to the Ho
nolulu convention szch men as are will.
ing TO go there said Mcguire. "The
men we send should be instructed ia
fight for the proposition of holding of
the nomination OF candidate for ter,
ritorial delegate TO congress until the
regular convention. The delegates
should be given proxies with the same
instructions, SO that the Hawaii dele
CATION may stand for postponement.
con the other hand, we want to
keep this Mccarthy NJ Oandless fight
out of our present primaries. We don t
want to mix into that scrap, and we
certainly do not want to do 30 before
the regular time comes 1t will be time
enough to fight out that issue when it
comes to sending candidates to the
regular territorial convention. By that
time it is quite likely that dark horse
viii have come forth who will cab
bage the nomination.
Palmer Woods Ozark Horse"
While it is reported that there are
several "dark horses' in the field in
Honolulu, Hawaii has only one such
steed, namely Palmer Woods, the Ko-
hala man, who at one time held very
prominent place in the senate, where
he managed to make good in spite of
the handicap that he was the only Dem
Ocrat there.
The Democrats are greatly pleased at
the fact that Senator Makekau has
signed the Democratic roll. The event
is of some political Importance, as it
has heretofore been an impossibility to
classify the willy senator, who has never
been willing to specify his brand of
politics, beyond saying that he was
"not a Republican.
