4egate statement as to HIS attitude
,Messrs J. M: Dowsett and Al. L. Cas-

hio in writing six questions. He Was
asked as to the elimination Of the
Kuhio-Fre controversy from the
fall. campaign, his own Intentions oil
running independently if ne failed to
receive. the Republican endorsement.
and he was also asked II he would
endorse and support the Republican
ticket in case he should not be nomi-
mated. He was asked as to his atti-
tude on the tariff, as to his attitude
on immigration here, and as to what
he means by more liberal land laws"
in his complaints against the pres.
ent administration.
One question up before the com
mittee is whether or not the names
it suggests for office should be those
of Republicans only or whether the
committee should attempt to support
a non-partisan movement. This ques.
ton is still unsettled, according to
the Star Bulletins information today.

the cemetery association employees.
They say that the association merely
cut the grass in the lots once every
two or three months and that this
work can be performed in two hours,
In speaking of the matter this
morning, W. L. Eaton, member of
the Post, said: We will not pay the
increased assessment. The cemetery
association raised it without warning,
sending us notice to the effect at the
close of July and stating that the new
rate applied from the first of July.
The increase is out of all proper
ton. If it had been doubled it would
have been high enough, but when it
was Quadrupled it was more than we
could stand. On behalf'of the Post a
reply to the notice was sent to the as
sociation saying that we would pay
the old rate but no more"

Referring to the possibility Of N
alliance between Kuhio and the Pro-
gressives, Mr.. Carter said today:
|If Kuhio should come into the
Progressive party and majority Of
that party here should support him,
he would certainly be indorsed. To
that extent, Mr.. Desha is quoting me
correctly, but contrary to the morn
