MAY DOUBLE UP
At CONVENTION
Candidate for Delegate May Be
Named by BourbonS With
National Delegates.
Lrrom sntnrdnr s AdverLiser.l }


When the Democrats meet in terri
torial convention April 10 to choose
delegates to the Democratic national
convention in Baltimore which will
nominate candidate for the presi-
dency, the same convention may also
choose their candidate for delegate to
congress. This was the suggestion made
last night at the meeting Of the Demo-
cratic territorial central committee,
presided over by Mayor Fern.
This proposal comes from L. l.. Nc
Candless, who may be chosen as the
Democratic standard bearer, and some
of the other leading Democrats. 1t is
believed that this method will elimin-
ate factional fights and will give the
candidate for Delegate an opportunity
to organize his campaign long in ad-
vance of the county.
This matter will be decided at the
next meeting of the committee to be
held February 29. Mr.. McCandless and
Mayor Fern believe the method of max
ing the two conventions nominate two
important sets of candidates will lead
to the adoption of definite primary
law.
Up to Convention.
The apportionment of delegates Ia
Baltimore is to be left to the conven-
ton, although the central committee
will make suggestions as to the number
from each island. Oahu may possibly
have three. r. J. Ryan, secretary, said
that the other Islands must think about
paying the expenses of their delegates
to Baltimore. Everybody would like
to go, but the money for their transpor-
tation and expenses must be raised by
the Islands. To be good Democrats they
must pass the hat. He did not believe
in having the convention select dele
gates just because they had money, nor
did he believe in sending corporation
lawyers only, for they represent inter
ests and not the people. The latter al
ways got left when it came to choosing
delegates.
II. j. Ryan, j. II. Wilson and Ed
Hanapi were appointed a committee or
printing. The selection of a finance
committee will await the return of the
mayors secretary, Bertram Riven
burgh, who will return from his vaca
tion on the mainland next week. r
II. Trent may be asked to serve.
The committee authorized the print
ing committee to draw up form Of
credentials to be used at all precinc
elections and will also be used for pres
entation to the steamship company fo
reduced rate, in case the steamship com
pany will consent to reduce fares fo
all delegates to the convention.

BRIDE SKIPPED WITH
ALL HER TROUS5EAU

WAlLUKU, February s.-Ah Sam, a
prosperous taro planter and small farm
er, residing at Keanae, Maui, was to
have been married last Saturday at
high noon to Miss Ahiona, part Ha-
waiian girl of the same valley. Mr.. All
Sam had spent over $250.0O for the
bride trousseau, but while he was
dreaming of the trip into honeymoon
land he was about to take, the tickle
bride changed her mind and eloped
with young Halemano, the night pre-
ceding the wedding. As soon as the
parents of the bride found the girl had
disappeared they reported the affair to
the police with their suspicious as to
who had kidnapped the bride and the
direction they had gone. That very
night the pair was located at Kaeleku
near Hama town, and as the bride was
of age and openly declared her inten-
tion to marry her Hawaiian suitor as
against the Chinaman whom her parents
wanted her to marry, the police report
ed progress to the irate father and told
him that there was nothing for them
to do as they had no grounds for inter
fering. Early Saturday morning the
pair were legally married, and the

Guarding the Island.

The Mani Chamber of Commerce met
this afternoon to take some action
looking to the prevention of the intro
duction of the fruit fly pest on the Is
land of Maui, as it is understood the
pest is on Molokai, and is therefore in
the county. 1t was the sense of the
meeting that the police department be
directed to prevent the bringing in of
fruits, plants and soil to the island of
Maui from places known to be infected.
d. c, Lindsay spoke of the danger of
the pest being introduced through fruits
imported to Honolulu from the coast
and transhipped to Maui ports from
put itself on record as against fruit
transhipment, and the motion carried.
Mr. Searby made motion to have
the police instructed to prevent the
bringing in of fruits, plants and soil to
Maui from the other islands, and that
any fruits etc so introduced be destroy
ed, which was put and carried.

Shinpo Optimistic.

The Shinpo, commenting editorially
on his visit, said:
"The Hawaiian japanese are glad
to see the newly appointed ambassador
to the United States, Viscount s. Chin
da, going to Washington and are happy
to see him remain here, if even for
only one night. There are two reasons
to be gratitied:
First: Viscount Chinda is now our
representative to America and he has
been informed of japanese conditions
in Hawaii. We wish to say to the am
bassador that we hope to see increased
prosperity to our mother country, but
we are even more concerned with the
prosperity of ourselves in Hawaii. We
have to work for local interests first.
That is human nature.
"From the standpoint of the local
Japanese we sincerely hope that the re-
lations between the two countries should
remain unchanged in order that har-
monv may continue and we are doing
our best TO promote it. In preserving
cordial relations we are progressing
step by step. We believe we have
reached an epoch of building up diff
ferent industries and should ignore any
agitation that will bring about nothing
but trouble.

To Boost Road Pay.

The board of supervisors is in ses-
tion this week. Chairman w. F. Pogue
states that forty-three per cent of the
tax rate of the county goes for salaries,
which is a much lower one than the
seventy-eight per cent reported by ex-
pert accountant Field for Honolulu.
Supervisor Drummond intimates that
he intends to bring in a resolution next
June to raise the wages of road labor
ers from $1.25 to $3.50 per day. There
is ground for the belief that a majority
of the board is in favor of increasing
the wages of the roadmen as proposed

No Hint of Threat.

in which he hoped, for the sake of con-
tinued amity between the two nations,
that the virtual Japanese exclusion
clauses in the Dillingham; immigration
bill could be overcome. "Indeed, 1
think it was just the opposite spirit in
which the ambassador spoke. 1t was
natural wish and he merely expressed
his desire for continued harmonious re-
lations between the two countries"

on this feature of Ambassador Chinda 3

pressed their belief in the good that

in his stay here and the opportunities

Assuming an international signifi-
cance, the interview with Yiscount
Chinda, ambassador of the NIikado to
Washington, published in The Adver-
tiser yesterday was flashed across the
country and back to Japan, causing a
sensation in America.
The polite tone of the general inter
view did not cover the force of several
of the new ambassador Is phrases, and
the latter, quite unnecessarily it seems,
were taken as indicating militant
policy of Japan in regard to the Dill
lingham immigration bill. AS such it
sped to the mainland on the cable wires
and as such the mainland generally in
terpreted it.
The japanese official and those of his
countrymen who were closest to him
during his brief stay here all denied
emphatically yesterday that any inter
Pretation of that nature was correct.

Sea Girt, N. j., Aug. 6.-This lit
tie sea shore town, the official res
idence during the summer months of
the governor of New Jersey, will be
the scene tomorrow of the most rep
resentative gathering of Democratic
leaders of national prominence that
has assembled since the Baltimore
convention. The occasion will be
the official notification of Woodrow
Wilson of his nomination for presi-
dent of the United States. The no
tification committee will consist of
fifty-two members, representing all of
the states and territories, with Ollie
James of Kentucky, permanent chair
man of the Baltimore convention, at
the head.
Mr.. James will deliver the notifi-
cation speech and Governor Wilson
will respond with his formal speech
of acceptance, standing on a little
knoll in his yard beneath a group
of elms, with his visitors grouped
about him on the lawn. If the
weather is stormy the speechmaking g
part of the program will take place
indoors or on the spacious veranda
of the house.
Much public interest naturally CEN
ters in Governor Wilson's speech,
since it will be his first public COM
ment on the Democratic platform as
an entirety. While he has declined
to forecast his speech, it is known
that the tariff will be dealt with as
the leading issue. In close relation
to this Governor Wilson is expected
to place the high cost of living,
which he is said to regard as but a
development of the present tariff sys-
