GOES TO INSPECT
LANDS IN KONA

Governor Frear is sending Joshua
Tucker of the land Office to Kona on
Friday to look into some land matters
there. The last legislature approprl-
ated money to purchase certain lands
at K'ona for the purpose of home
steading.
A large number of Hawaiians have
expressed the desire to settle on the
lands, and the visit of the land agent
may arrange things satisfactorily.
The Kona land is said to be good
for small farming and some of it is
already under cultivation.

SUSPECTED THAT TWO CHILDREN
DIED OF ALCOHOLIC POISONING

Food Commissioner Blanchard has
several matters on hand at present,
and one case seems to be puzzling
one. By special messenger, yester-
day, Blanchard received from Hawaii
the stomachs and contents of two
young half-white children, who died
last week on the Hamakua coast.
Poisoning is suspected, and the chem
ist is now working on the PROPOSE
tion.
1t appears that the children died
suddenly and as the circumstances
surrounding the deaths seemed sus-
picious, Dr. Taylor, government ply

BROKE LEG
ABOVE ANKLE

Douglas Collins, returning to his
room at the corner of Fort street and
Smith lane last night, essayed to ne
gotiate four flights of stairs, with dis
astrous results.
Halfway aloft he slipped and fell
on the ground, sustaining a fracture
of the right leg above the ankle.
He was removed to the hospital in
the fast police wagon.

siclan of the district, sent the stom-
achs to Honolulu for examination and
testing for poison.
1t is said that the children may
have been killed by overindulgence in
wine. The parents are said to have
been used to having wine in the
house, and the children may have
partaken of a large quantity of the
liquid.
AS soon as the tests are completed
by Mr.. Blanchard, some steps may
have to be taken in the matter.
According to reports it seems very
likely that the children died from al
coholic poisoning.

Upon the earnest solicitation of
friends in almost all sections of
the State, Hal w. Depue, of
Spencer, has decided to announce
for the Democratic nomination
for Secretary of State, and his
formal card appears in the col
umns of this issue.
AS yet he has no opposition for
the nomination and it is to be
hoped that the convention will
unanimously select him for that
place on the ticket. Mr.. Depue
was born and reared in Roane
county and is recognized as one
of that county's most progress
i've and influential men in bust
ness, social ard political circles.
For thirteen years he was divi-
sion superintendent of sales for
the International Harvester com
pany, and during that time his
work called him to all sections of
the State and he became ac-
quainted with business men and
farmers in every county. In all
his transactions in this capacity
he was strictly rel able, honest
and upright. On account of
these sterling qualities he is a
formidable man and if nomina-
ted would add much strength to
the ticket. Mr.. Depue is the
kind of Democrat who recogni-
yes no campaign year he works
just as much for the success of
Democratic principles in odd
years as in election years. In
1908 he was a candidate for
The Calhoun chronicle. [volume] (Grantsville, W. Va.) 1883-1984, 1912-05-21

County Clerk Of the county in
which he resides and although
Roane gave huge Republican
majority that year, Mr.. Depue
wss defeated by only few over
a hundred votes. This is an in
dication of his popularity in his
home county and a candidate
who is strong at home is usually
strong in other sections. In no
part of the State is Mr.. Depue
better known or better liked than
here in Calhoun county. He has
sold nearly every farmer in this
county a moving machine or
rake, or in some way has had
business transactions with tn EN-
and on account of the high
standard of business morals
which he practices, we predict
that his candidacy will be favor
ably received by the Calhoun
county Democrats.

The attention Of every Demo-
crat is directed to the call for dis
trict mass conventions to meet at
various places on next Saturday
for the purpose Of selecting dele
gates to the various nominating
conventions. 1t is the duty of
every Democrat to come out to
his respective convention and
take an active part in selecting
men to represent the county in
the various conventions. Nearly
all the important Offices are to be
filled at the approaching election
and it behooves Democrats to Sc
lect their best and strongest men
to make up the ticket. And at
these conventions to be held on
next Saturday is the place for
voters to get in their work. See
that men who will represent your
wishes are sent to help select the
Democratic ticket, and to accom-
plish this you must attend the
convention.

The Young Man.

Opportunity has been charged
with the habit of coming but
once. We doubt this, but it does
not hang around in the outer
office. 1t is here now, however.
for the young man who wants an
honorable political career. Since
1894, political skies were dark for
the young democrat. Many of
them dropped into the repubh-
can party. Let us not discuss
why, further than to say that a
career in that party promised
success, while in the democratic
party till 1910, there was moth
ing sure, except work for duty's
sake. But the picture is now
quite different. If the republi-
cans can win this year, then po-
litics belongs to that category of
human probabilities which can
not be measured or determined
by reason and logic. Torn asun-
der by discord, separated by diff
ferent ideas of patriotic duty,
without a commendable record or
winning issue, the wise men in
that party know that victory this
fall would surprise them. 1t has
been Is years since the democrat
ic party lost the legislature. 1t
did not regain it till 1910. Boys,
who were Is in 1894, are now SO
years old; children, then 5 years
old, are now %. Eighteen years
to the life of a child or boy
make a wonderful difference.
To the boys, who have become
men since 1894, let us invite you
to get over here with the people,
who have determined that the
trust must not own the country.
Y on, who are not satisfied with
working for a salary; who want
the avenues for a successful bus
mess career always open, and
you who want to do something
as a public servant, come over
with the people. If you are
democrats get busy. Our par
ty has no use for bosses. Every
primary or convention is wide
open. The party will not per-
NIT anything else. What you
sow, you reap. If you are the
strong est, others will not take
the nomination. Get into the
fight for reform and progress. If
your tendencies lead you to the
republicans, consider why and
study out for yourself whether
or not you can do as much for
your country in that party as you
can elsewhere. Let the demo-
Gratis remember that the party
has an untried fighting force in
the thousands Of young men who
have reached maturity since
1894. These young men must
get into the organization, and
must be reorganized and record
ed. Come to the front, young
democrat; and come over to our
side, young man, if you want to
test out your merit and your en-
ergies. - Charleston Gazette.
