Two aPeaches !"

Here is what one West Virginia
Democratic newspaper thinks of two
of the men who want to run on the
Democratic state ticket:
There are at least to candidates
for nomination on the state Demo-
cratic ticket whom all good progress
slve Democrats should bitterly OPP
pose. They are William T. Saw
yers, candidate for secretary OF
state, and Samuel v. Woods, candi-
date for governor, congressman-at-
large or anything that he thinks the
convention will likely give him.
Both OF these men are out Of sym
pathy with progressive Democracy
and should have no place on a DEM
focratic ticket. They would fall
thousands of votes short OF polling
the full Democratic vote -"
sawyers Is rabidly hostile to Bry.
an and to practically everything foI
which Bryan stands. and noisily
boasts of his standpatism. He is .
man whose candidacy ought to be
opposed by the best Christian Oh
zenship OF the state.
Sam Woods is as reactionary In
his political beliefs as old Joe Can
non. There is not one drop of pro.
gressive Democratic blood in hi
veins. He is opposed to the income
tax, a primary election law. the In
itiative, referendum and recall /; II
fact, he is opposed to every law OF
measure that is not in the interests
of the corporations or the. greedy
monopolists
God forbid that two such men al
William H. sawyers and Samuel v,
woods shall be put on the Demo
cratic ticket.

Ihe Blueheid Daily Telegraph
does not take much stock in the
boastings Of the Democrats that
their latest national platform Is pro
gresslve. The real issue Of the day
Is the tarin and according to the
Teleeraph's recoilectlons the position
of the Democratic party has shifted
backward to that taken in days Of
yore. Says the Telegraph:
We see It stated, and hear Il said
that the Baltimore convention has
adopted a progressive platform. In
fact. 1t is boosted Of, and heralded
in flaming headlines that Che plat
form is progressive. !" II our mem
DRY serves US right the first platform
declaration we ever heard discussed
when boy. wass''tariff for revenue
only. I" Ut win also be shown by
the history Of former campaigns
that shortly after the Civil war old
man "tarfff for, revenue only" was
trotted out and did duty IN Demo-
cratic platforms. TiIden and Hen
bricks stood for him, as did Hancock
and English, and even cleYeland's
first campaign was full Of It. Then
the Democrats began to hedge and
deny 1t, but you found some who
were old-fashioned enough to adyo-
cate It in later years, yet tariff for
revenue went on the shelf. The
Democratic party was marked with
differences on the, tariff until It
looked IKE each Individual member
had q different platform OF his own.
In the neighboring Virginia con-
gresslonal district no longer than
the. last election, a distinguished
Democrat who was candidate for
Congress declared that he favored a
tariff that would equahze the dif-
ference in wages between this coun-
try and foreign lands.
Forty years is a long step back
ward to get a progressive" plank
for progressive" platform. There
was the Morrison horizontal bill, the
Mills bill. and later the WilsonIGor-
man bill and what did they do?
Will the people believe that such
tariff measures can be brought from
the shelf, the eob-webs- of years
wiped away and displayed as pro-
gressive wares? Win they be any
better when labelled progressive
than they were when known by the
names mentioned above?
But a clear idea of the an
ttquity of the issue : is not
yet shown for certain politicians
held to the doctrine many years be-
fore anyone interested in this section
was born. If the Democratic party
would say of it's platform, I'VE have
returned to the principles espoused
in another coutry," it would be
more like the real situation.

AiacCorlsie the Great.

Naturally, the Chiffon Gazette be-
lieves that former Governor Mac
Corkle did a splendid thing in the
Democratic national convention in
Baltimore by making speech in be-
half of the predatory interests, z
but it is not very good policy Tor
the Gazette to go into raptures over.
1t. The less said about Mascorkle
and his convention speech the bet
ter 1t win be for the welfare of the
Democratic party at the hands OF
the common people. Esse..
The Gazette seems 20 have had
about as much trouble In comment
ing upon the former governors

airy. The former governors posi-
tion in the convention was COM
mandiHg," the reception 5of his
speech was remarkable ovation"
and it was so appreciated through
out the country as to be attested by
thousands of congratulatory tele-
grams and newspaper comments all
over the United States. One must
have a steady nerve and strong
Imagination to find all these things
among the cat calls, hools-and Kisses
Of the convention and among the
causttc opinions in numerous news
papers resulting from the Mac
Corkle attitude.
The blame of MacCorEle,s shield
ing of the money trust behind the
blind of 1.-THE right of a sovereign
state, however, is not al" his own.
The Gazette thus elucldates; Gov
ernor MacCorkle was one OF the no-
table men in the convention and his
actions there were the carrying out
fully OF the instructions from his
state and the wishes of four-fifths
of the Democrats of the Baltimore
convention.
According to the report of the
convention by the leading Demo
cratic newspapers of Baltimore, Mr. {.
NGaccorkle's great speech came i'm
mediately after William j. Bryan
had thrown his bombsheli resolution
against the RyanIBeImont-Murphy
crowd and was in acceptance of Mr. /.
Bryan's challenge that "if a majori'
tyty OF your members will rise In
your seats and tell this convention
that you are responsible for Thomas
f. Ryan and August Belmont and
that you will assume the RESPONSE

GOVERNOR is ASKED
TO NAME DELEGATES

The Honolulan brought a heavy
mail to the Governor today. Among
the communications is a letter from
the Secretary of State asking Frear
to appoint five members to commits
sion that will confer with the national
organization in planning the Fifteenth
international Congress on Hygiene
and Demography. which will convene
during the latter part of September.
The Congress is called in pursuance of
a joint resolution passed by Con-
gress.
Hawaii's executive also is invited by
the president of the National Irriga-
ton Congress, which meets late in
September, to attend the sessions of
that body and deliver an address.
Another communication comes from
President Taft, requesting the Govern
or's presence at the White House on
the evening of July s. Frear was not
quite able TO meet this obligation, as
he was on the Wilhelmina, one day off
the Oahu coast, on that date.

TRESULTSFOR
ALL MONEY Spent

John A. McCandless returned in the
Honolulan today after an absence of
three months on the Coast, north and
sotth.
Things are somewhat quiet in San
Francisco, Mr.. McCandless said to a
Star-Bulletin reporter, and rather
dull around Puget Sound, but Los An
geles goes on making money all the
time.
Los Angeles people know better
than those of any other city of my
acquaintance how to spend money to
get more money back A while ago
there was an article in the Saturday
Evening Post which said there were
three man-made cities in the world
London, Chicago and Los Angeles-the
idea being that nature gave no parti-
oclar reason for having cities where
they were built.
The people of Los Angeles SUBJ
scribed $4,000 for the entertainment
of the Shriners. Now there were $4,000
of the Shrine people there for the con-
close, and at a moderate estimate
each one spent $40 day in Los An
geles while they were there, and the
time of their official stay was five days
That is 100000 day, or three million
dollars not counting those who stayed
longer. Probably one-third of their
spending was profit to the city. There
fore for the $4,000 the people got
back $1,000,000. AS a matter of fact
one estimate made while / was there
was that the Shrine visitors spent
seven million dollars.
ut was admirable too, the way the
crowds We're handled. There was no
disorder whatever on the streets,
which were kept clear of all car and
other vehicular traffic whenever any
of the numerous professions was held
Men were detailed to put down posts
at intervals along the line of march,
upon which rope or wire was stretch
&c to keep off traffic.
Yes, there was tumble of politics
wherever / went. From what | could
judge, if Roosevelt runs Wilson will
be elected.
However, threefourths of the Re.
publicans / met were Taft men, but
the women are practically all for
Roosevelt-just mere hero worship
and nothing else.
"A great deal may happen before
November. Perhaps you have seen in
the papers that in Wall street the bet
ting is five to four that Taft will be
elected"

The Royal Hawaiian band played

impromptu concert rendered a half

One hundred cabin and 6S steerage

G. S. WELLS MISSING;
FATHER SEEKS NEWS

George S. Wells, formerly an In
spector on the mosquito force of the
health department has disappeared
from the sight of friends in that de-
partment and from his relatives. Sec
rotary X. B. Porter, of the board, has
received letter from the father, Ed
gar s. Wells. residing at Binghamton,
N. Y, asking information as to the
sons whereabouts, but search OF
this city has proved fruitless.
George s. Wells was in the employ
of the board of health for about a
month and half, voluntarily leaving
the service some time prior to March
81, 1912. It has been learned that he
had friends at Schofield Barracks, and
Secretary Porter will endeavor to COM
municate with these in an effort to OBJ
tain a clue to Wells latest move
ments.
