GOVERNOR NOT
WORRIED A BIT
Feels He Has No Time to Be
Bickering Over Delegate
ship RumpuS.

Governor Frear is working hard and
taking no part in the Republican mix
up over delegates to the national con-
vention. He is not even keeping in
touch with what is going on, while 9th.
er party leaders are busy dickering and
bargaining over who shall get the dele.
gateships. The Governor declines in
vitations to discuss the row, but from
a close sympathizer with his plans and
policies it is learned that he regards
his reappointment as a Washington
matter, rather than one to be fought
out here, now that it has been formally
passed up to the President and secre-
tary of the interior.
Not even the suggestion that the men
supposed to be his most ardent local
supporters were throwing him down,
made the Governor show any special in
terest IN the rumpus, which centers
around his name. The fact that some
of the most prominent of the Frear
men are negotiating with Kuhio for
some sort of compromise" of the
party difficulties, indicated to many that
the said supposed Frear men were
ready to buy Kuhio' support next Nov
ember at the cost of throwing down
Frear, but the Governor does not seem
to be worried.
81 have had a very busy day." he
said late yesterday afternoon, "and am
no better IN touch with what is going
on politically than was yesterday. Ny
entire afternoon has been taken up
with a conference over the Rapid Tran
sit franchise"
Up to Washington Now.
The probable Frear attitude, as Civ
en- by strong Frear partisan, is that
as far as the governorship is concern
ed, the matter of reappointment is now
a proposition of sustaining or rejecting
charges, and has nothing to do with
what local politicians may do or say.
In other words, the Washington admin
istration will decide on the actual show
ing made,-the charges filed, the an
swer and the ejoinder,-without regard
TO what may be urged here. Governor
Frear is President Tart's representa-
tive here, and the President will nat.
urally sustain his appointee unless con
vincei that he should not do so--the
burden of proof is on the Delegate.
"The matter of Frear's reappoint'
ment was transferred to Washington, by
Kuhio's Is own action" said the politi,
elan who gave this view.
''It is an insult to Taft to assume
as did Kuhio IS Desha letter, that he is
going to decide the question with any
regard 10 whether he gets or does not
get Hawaii's six votes in the national
convention. Why, then, should FreaI
take part in row in the local party
over the matter7 He does not want tc
be delegate to the convention him
self and the sending of Taft jelega
tion is assured anyhow. If there is
anything to be said about whether
Frear is to be reappointed OF not, Wash.
ingtOn is, the place to say it, as that
is where the charges were filed and an
swered." ="

governor Opposed.

Mr.. Kinney's proposal of a main
lander for Governor of Hawaii is step
backward-one in the direction of max
ing Hawaii possession instead of
full hedged Territory of the United
States" said Governor Frear yesterday,
in discussing the statements in cor
respondence of The Advertiser from
Washington. 81 do not think that the
people here, whether planters or others,
will agree with Mr.. Kinney
''In the rest of Mr.. Kinney's state.
ments, he appears to be coming out in
the open with sentiments he has eX
pressed here privately for long time,
| do not recall that | ever heard that
he had before declared for a governor
from the mainland.
"Mr. Kinney would do better if he
stayed here and worked for the best
interests of the Territory, instead of
going to Washington and complaining. "
Means All-Malihini.
That Kinney's proposition would
mean an all-malihini administration
throughout the Territory, is the view
expressed by Secretary Mott-Smith.
There is nothing in the Organic Act to
prevent mainlanders from being ap-
pointed to every position under the
Governor except secretary of the Terri
tory, and naturally if the law were
changed to allow mainland governor
it would also be changed to allow a
mainlander for secretary, the two Of
fees being interchangeable at times
Hawaii would be the finest place
of all for sending politicians to take
| jobs remarked the secretary. All
the department heads might be main
landers and probably would be. Every
job in the Capitol, from clerkships up
would be open to mainlanders. l think
the people of the Territory are almost
unanimous in opposition to this propo
sition of Mr.. Kinney's.
Unfair, Says Cooke.
j. p. Cooke expressed no surprise al
some of Kinney's views. ~ knew OF
them long ago, and had it out with
him in argument he said. "But as
to the goyernOrship proposition, am
surprised. He is certainly wrong
there. The people here are practically
unanimous against his view.''
Mr.. Cooke disapprOved of Kinney
expressions almost entirely. GAS tc
that land lease" said Mr.. Cooke, az
feel that Mr.. Kinney scarcely shows
good faith. The one dollar lease prop
osition to which he refers was his owl
proposal, if remember rightly. i
was handed to the land board by hin
and adopted on his say so, and now ht
roasts it and says it is disappoint
ment, though as a matter of fact i
hasn't been tried long enough yet t,

That is my recollection of the deal ant
/ do not think it fair of Mr.. Kline,
to refer to it as he does under thes
circumstances
At Mr.. Cookies suggestion, his recol
lection of the transaction, which was

attention was called to it. "But tn

.CLARK'S MISSOURI
PLAN SUCCESSFUL

JOPLIN, Missouri, February 21.-
Eight of the delegates from this State
to the National Democratic Convention
may go pledged to support Champ
Clark for the nomination to the presi7
dency. Successive balloting yesterday
in the State convention brought the
same results each time and there is
little prospect that the final ballot will
change.
When Clark name was first I'M
troduced in the convention, it was the
signal for a demonstration by his
friends and allies calculated to stampede
the delegates for him. The balloting
on the resolution to instruct the dele
gates to the national convention for the
present speaker of the house was done
amidst continued enthusiasm.

EwaIiko Getting His Forces in

(Maii Special to The Advertiser.)

HILO, February o. The Kona dis
tricts have become the latest recruit
ing grounds for Hawaii unionism. A
number of union branches were formed
there during the last few days, most
of them headed by prominent politi-
clans.
At the meeting of the Hilo union,
held last evening, it was reported that
David X. Baker had become the presi-
dent of new union at Napoopoo, num-
bering eighty members. Another large
rnion had been organized at Hookena,
lis president being Enoka K Kaaua, a
prominent Republican politician. 1t has
sixty-three members. Still another new
union was formed at Keauhou, number
ing thirty-two members. Supervisor J.
y. Koomoa, Home Ruler, is the presi-
dent, while Representative Kawewehi,
also Home Ruler, is the secretary. At
Pahoehoe union, with seventeen men,
bers has been formed, with D. X. Ka-
hunaaina, Home Ruler, as president,
while at Hoopuloa a union with TWEEN
ty-seven members has been organized,
with David Kaupiko, Republican, as

Union Fish only.

large number of the union members
are fishermen, and it seems that in
joining the union cause they are to a
great extent actuated by desire to
find market for their catch. They
have written to Leader David Ewaliko,
asking him to so arrange it that the
union members in Hilo purchase dried
fish sent from Kona, and arrangements
are now being made to get the supply
and the disposal thereof on definite
basis. On the whole the cooperative
idea seems to have taken hold of the
unionists, and they hope to make it
prominent feature in the cause, so
that union members will sell to and
buy from eaca other, thus encouraging
| arious industries.

Thus arrangements are now bel lg

MOSTAD JURY PRESENTS
BRIDE AND GROOM WITH
FINE SILVER SERVICE.

Grand Forks, n. D.. Feb. 90
No one can accuse the Mostad
jury of not doing things to a
brown turn. In fact they set new
record for juries in Uncle Sans
domain when they presented Mr..
and Mrs. Huffbeck, formerly Syl-
via Mostad and Harry Rees with a
handsome silver service. Every
man who sat on the jury was on
hand at the wedding and looked as
happy as the bride and groom.
They all gave the couple the glad
hand and congratulated them in no
uncertain terms. In fact no one
would have thought that the
twelve men had just sat on a jury
and tried one of the parties to the
marriage on a serious charge. The
donors of the silver service, the
jury, were the following: James
Lynch, business man, Grand
Forks; Ed Peterson, farmer,
Washington township; ]. e. Bur-
gett, farmer. Orr; w. c. Hostetter,
farmer, Larimore; A. J. Kovenick,

London, Feb. 29-Upwards of 150,-
900 coal miners had laid down their
tools and gone on strike by 2 o'clock
this afternoon when the day shift in
the mines ended. The army of strikers
was swelled throughout the morning
when it became known that no settle
ment had been reached.
The premier and his colleagues in
the cabinet, officials of the board of
trade and other persons having in
fluence with the coal owners and min
ers are making, today, final attempt
to avert q national coal strike in Great
Britain. There is, however, only the
faintest hope Of success.
Meantime the miners throughout
the country are preparing to quit work
so that before nightfall, unless an un-
expected change comes over the situa-
tion, more than 100000 men and boys
now employed in the mines will be
idle and tens of thousands in other
trades will be forced into similar
condition.
Each side is now blaming the other
for the failure of negotiations The
miners say the coal owners did not
show a concilitory attitude, while the
owners insist the miners are deter
mined to strike no matter what terms
are offered.
1t is understood the government has
drafted a minimum wage bill. with
safeguards for the owners and is ready
to rush it through parliament in case
