Terms of Purchase Unchanged,
Based on New York Quota

A renewal OF tho contract OF IL

American Sugar Refining Company
commonly called the Sugar Trust
has been made in New York. Elmer
L, Paxton, of Alexander & Baldwin,
Ltd yesterday received a cablegram
stating that the contract had been

Representing the local sugar men

SUPPORT IS
DENIED LINK
ON ALL SIDES
His Rounds Of Bio Sugar AgeR-
cies Bring Forth No
Results H.. -.

Failure to secure the support of the
big sugar corporations of the Terri
tory, and anger at the County Demo
cratic organization, are the chief con.
tributing causes that sent l.. L. Nc
Candless to Maui during the last week
OF his campaign for Delegate to Con-
gress. 90 aas IL, a 4. s5.Ss.sssa
McCandless went to- Maui with Ma
yor Fern yesterday having practically
abandoned hope OF carrying Oahu or
even of giving Kuhio a close fight
here, according to reports from Demo
Gratis on the inside Of things. Ferns
strength on Maui is relied upon to
help McCandless pick some votes.
That McCandless utterly failed in
hard atempt to get the support of
the big sugar agencies, has been a
matter of discussion among poiti-
clans for several days. Two agencies
at least, 1t is certain, declined fatty
to give McCandless support when he
went hat in hand, figuratively, If not
literally speaking, to ask their help.
It has been stated by men in posi-
ton to know, that McCandless made
the rounds of the big Five" without
any tangible results in the shape of
aid.
While he was failing to secure the
support Of the powerful corporations,
the Democratic delegate was also at
war with the Oahu county campaign
organization. Democrats closely con-
nected with the campaign manage
ment say that the real reason why Nc
Candless refused to come through"
with his usual fistful of funds is that
he learned that both Mayor Fern and
Sheriff Jarrett intend to support Dele
gate Kuhio. Upon learning this it is
said, and guessing that many others
of his acknowledgements did not intend
to vote for him, McCandless came
out in the open and declared that he
didn't intend to put up money for
luaus and other campaign expenses
for members of his party who were
prepared to desert him.
This anger led to the outburst a
few days ago when he told the Star
Bulletin that he would spend no mo-
ney for his campaign except for his
personal expenses, and that under no
consideration would he scatter around
the coin in the usual prediction
style
McCandless is expected back on
Saturday. Republican leaders today
were discussing a report that he had
conceded the election to Kuhio, but
that report could not, in the absence
of Link, be verified.

THINK WILSON

Sherman,s death leaves President
Feft without running mate in the
Liz campaign that reaches its climax
and close next Tuesday, and it has
caused some speculation as to the ef-
feet on the election. Should Taft be
reelected there will be vacancy in
the Office Of yice-president. The lat
ter's is principally to preside over the
sessions of the senate, and the law
provides that In the case of vacancy
that position shall be filled by the cleo
ton, by the senate, of a temporary
president. This means that II Taft Is

body for the next four years.

eress in December temporary presi-
dent of the senate will be chosen. to
serve until March f. If either Wilson
or Roosevelt is eIected president Of
the United States the temporary mead
Of the senate will retire from his posi-.
ton when the new officials take Office
in March.
While the effect OF Sherman's death
on the campaign is not considered
here TO be great, 1t was generally
commented on the street today that
Taft's chances, none too bright as they
are, will be lessened by the death o.
his running mate. A strong Roosevelt
supporter said this morning that he

Roosevelt will pick up the votes that
the Taft cause may drop, his estimate

THE BOYS PROBLEM
BY JOHN ANDREW HARRIS.

Among the many things that con
front the negro today. and among the
many problems that are indispensable
the problem of the boys.
1t is foregone conclusion the boys
must solve the race question, for it
has truly been said, the boys and girls
are the arbiters of the destiny of the
race. Hence 1t is high time that
something be done toward lending
them aid in this work of such vital
importance.
True 1t is that corrupt tree cannot
bear good fruit. Neither can a father,
whose life is corrupt, raise unto him
self son whose life will be pure and
shining as the glow of the monday
sun. For the boy that comes out of
such home will be sure to lead an
"unkindly light"
We have carefully noticed that the
boys that make men of worth and
men that count, are those that come
out of the best homes. Not necessar-
lily homes of wealth and renown only,
or homes where bounty and plenty are
always to be found, but homes where
fathers and mothers have given vent
to the teaching of ethics and have
spent their lives In defense of virtu
GUS boys and girls. fathers and moth
ers who have been known to send up
their prayers and suppications daily
to the Deity in defiance of popularity
and the fascinating things of vanity.
Ia,
a wonderful progress. The progress
of the race is largely due to the train
ing received by our earlier fathers
and mothers who ventured the thresh-
hold of responsibility without educa-
tion, refinement, enlightenment, or
any Of the qualities with which we of
today are blessed But we find today
reared by their hands, men, yea hon
orable men, whose portraits shall
adorn the imperishable halls of fame.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-07-06

obvious, he is not specific in his de-
scription in this part of the story. His
music had been put aside as merely
a diversion and he frankly declares
that he set himself to make money.

the coming of their second child, he
lost her and so, as was stated at the
opening, is living his life for his chill

his position with complete frankness.

reference to a meeting which he at
tended several years ago at Carnegie
Hall in the interest of Hampton In
stitute. The Hampton students sang
the old songs and awoke memories
that left me sad Among the speak
ers were r. C. Ogden, ex-Ambassador
Choate, and Mark Twain, but the
greatest interest of the audience was
centered in Booker T. Washington.
and not because he so much surpassed
the others in eloquence. but because
of what he represented with so much
earnestness and faith. And it is this
that all of that small but gallant band
of colored men who are publicly fight
ing the cause of their race have be-
hind them. Even those who oppose
them know that these men have the
eternal principles of right on their
side, and they will be victors, even
though they should go down in de-
