EDITOR

Campbell, and Campbell answered him from the
floor of the house Now Campbell has been
easily renominated. .<@.. .
When the state machinery, which is Bull
Moose seized the Republican ticket and put its
electors thereon, the Bull Moose leaders declared
that this action was Justified. They contended
that the Roosevelt electors, even though on the
Republican ticket, would not be doing wrong in
voting against the nominee of the Republican
national convention, because. in the last analy-
sis, the electors are duty-bound to vote as the
sentiment of their state dictates.
Will the Bull Moose electors abide by the sen
riment Of the people plainly spoken in this pri-
mary election? OF course they won't They will
find excuses. to wiggle out of it. The Bull Moose
party has fathered noble, Understanding plat
form utterances Its first principle is that .the
people shall rule but in practice it is dominated
by slippery opportunism and boundless audacity.
1t is too bad that genuine Progressiyism for
which this country is in such need, should have
become involved with the aims and ambitions Of
the present Bull Moose leaders.

END TIE PRECINCT FIGHTS

= 4
Save for a few scattered fights, warning fac
items in the Republican precincts have come to
terms and in not many cases will there be put
up tomorrow more than one ticket of candidates
for the county convention. The territorial con-
rention is conceded to Kuhio already, as there
Is no Republican opposing him for the nominal
ton
That the Republican party is in for hard
fight here this fall there is no denying. Kulio,
strong as he is with the Hawaiian voter, has no
easy work to defeat McCandfess, the Democratic
leader. The main fight, however, is going TO be
on the county ticket Honolulu's government
for the next two years will be determined largely
on the character of the men the Republicans put
up in the convention, and itisnf going to help
the party or Honolulu to carry tomorrow's
fights into the convention.

TIE NEGRO VOTE

A tabulatiOn of the negro votes in all states
that have passed no DISTINGUISHING laws has been
prepared by Ralph w. Tyler, auditor for the
navy department. The collating and tabnlating
of the negro votes has been accomplished by the
expenditure of much time and care, and is said
to be the most accurate and most complete tab
ulation of its kind ever prepared In many
states Mr.. Tyler has selected number of the
principal cities and towns and indicated the ne
gro vote in those cities and towns.
A careful study of this table is said to bring
out the important possible bearing the negro
vote may have on the election result in number
Of states this fall :A comparative analysis, it
is said, will show that it is possible the negro
vote may be determining factor in deciding
344 electoral votes The unusual conditions pre-
scented this year will in some states make tle
negro vote a certain factor, in others probable
factor and in nearly all possible factor accord
ing to Auditor Tyler.
1t also is possible in many states, and prob
able in not few, it is contended with the tables
as basis that because of the third party the
complexion of the congressional delegations
from Massachusetts,, New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia,
Indiana, Illinois and Kansas may be changed by
the votes of the negroes in those states
In 1908 President Taft received 80 per cent.
of the colored vote cast The opposition on the
part of colored voters, it is pointed out was linn
tied to agitation against him by a few colored
men because of their antagonism to Col. RoOse-

dered, also turned to the left. AS he
turned, his bicycle was struck by the
automobile and he was thrown to the
pavement, sustaining broken collar
bone and several minor injuries Deer
ing put the boy into his machine and

even though Gov. Stubs, the Progressive, has
been nominated for United States senator over

Stubs scraped through because of techni-
cality under which the nomination goes by ma

state, Curtis got an overwhelming vote, running
10000 ahead of the Bull Moose governor, but the

THE one var TO SETTLEMENT

Secretary Fishers arrival this morning
forces to climax the two years Of open -dissen-
sion between Hawaii's delegate to Congress and
Hawaii's governor, and points to a settlement of
the controversy at an early date.
Apparently Secretary Fisher brings to the
settlement of the controversy the same openness
Of mind that distinguishes him in his treatment
of the ALASKA affair. and if his visit results in
MS much practical progress as came from his
Alaskan tour, Hawaii will be fortunate
There is just one request that the people Of
Hawaii have to make of Mr. Fisher as he enters
this investigation and that is request for
openness of consideration. The secretary is per.
fectly right in letting it be known. at the start
that he is here to weigh material evidence and
not to listen to idle rumor. Street-talk and
hack<room gossip have no place in this nvestiga-
ton. Petty complaints have no place. Govern
OF Frear's administration is under attack, and
nothing less definite and important than evil
dence showing lack of executive ability or mis-
takes in policy that iniure Hawaii deeply ought
to be serious enough for consideration as argu-
nents against his reappointment Delegate Ku-
HOS charges are admittedly serious. He has
enlisted and is enlisting all the political and per
sonal aid he can muster to bolster up his attack
on the governor. He has carried his fight into
the fall campaign, and his followers have been
less discreet than himself in their violent ar
raignments Of the governor.
The delegate has made the charges and it is
clearly up to him to prove them. In the last
analysis, it is not Secretary Fisher who is set
Ting the controversy it's the people Of Hawaii.
Secretary Fisher viii bring out the facts in the
case, will give botl sides an opportunity to be
heard But back Of this hearing are the people
Of this terfitory, who hope for harmony, who de-
sire earnestly to know whether or not Hawaii
Is pointed toward progress for all the people. If
harmony is to be secured, it will come only
through the certainty of Hawaii that all the ma
ttrial evidence has been put in and given con-
sheraton
Secretary Fisher shows that he is not here to
waste tipe. Heswent at the heart Of the matter
within two hours after his arrival by calling the
governor and the delegate into conference with
him. His methods are direct, and the more di-
rect they prove to be, the better Hawaii viii be
satisfied

LETTERS ON
TIMELY TOPICS
PLENTY OF LANDS FOR GRAZING.

Editor Honolulu Star-Builetin,
Sir:-Your editorial of yesterday on
''The Milk Question struck me as be-
ing good-a sincere effort to direct
public attention in a channel where
civic benefit ought to be the result.
While the question Of marketing the
milk is very applicably discussed, you
got to the meat of the. nut when you
said: 1.-THE cost of feed is an enor-i
nous item. Perhaps the government
may come to realize that cheap milk
supply is important enough to war
rant the setting aside of public lands
for grazing purposes, or for the rails.
ing of feed.
As true as gospel. The gist of this.
question does not lie at the door OF
the local Notwithstanding combina-
ton. 1t lies far beyond that. II the
cost of feed or grazing were cheaper
the selling Nprice OF milk would un-.
doubtedly be so, too
The question then is Why the high,
cost of feed or grazing?
Mr.. Editor, you may turn your field
glass to almost any. of the "hog-backs''
ascending to the mountains near Ho-
nolulu and 1t will disclose to you land
within big-gun range of this city that
is absolutely failing to do its duty to-
the citizenry land that is capable or
producing literally both milk and
honey Land, Mr.. Editor, that, sailing.
under the disguise of being used for.
school purposes, actually escapes tax
alton. Land, Mr.. Editor, which. 1T is.
nothing short of sinful to be with.
drawn from civilization the way it Is.
: And you may turn your field glass
to almost any other part of this island
and your eyes will see the same thing.
The Bishop Estate. founded in be-
nevolence is actually proving the re-
verse to Hawaii. Its: immense hold
ings of land throughout this archipeI-
ago is an actual detriment to the de-
velopment of such a citizenrY as is
adesTed by our parent country ss.ts
You cannot expect cheap milk to be
extracted from $500 to .S1000-an-acre
I land In and around Honolulu That
Is an absurd business proposition on
its face.
But ii the Legislature were to pass
law taxing to the very utmost Inn.
mense holdings of idle land, that this
iron-jawed bulldog might be pried
loose and the land parcelled out to In
dividual owners in comparatively
small holdings, there need be little
doubt that a few years would see not
only cheapening of the cost Of milk
but of q number of other things as
well.
Anticipating that low browed person
who will tell you it will take thou
sand acres of this land to support one
COW, let me say the answer is to be
found in the spineless cactus.
AS for setting aside land for graz
ing purposes, Mr.. Editor, il the gov
eminent has overlooked any bets in
this lire, then we ought. to trust to-
the opening of the famous Nuuanu
dam for the cheapening of the cost of
milk.
