REPUBLICANS PREPARING
FOR CAMPAIGN OF 1914
LEADERS TO
FATHOM THE
PRIMARY LAW
Belief General That the Neces-
Sity of Machine Is Greater
Than Before

First ,skirmishings for the political
night with meeting of the Repubh-
can county committee in headquarters
on the third floor OF the Bank OF Ha.
wall building.
Chairman Bertram Won Damn and
Secretary John H. Wise said this
morning that they expect a good at
tendance. for though the campaign is
more than year away, there are
healthy signs of reawakening in Re-
publican ranks. This is the first
meeting since the disaster of last
fall, when Democracy sprung the big
gest surprise In the history of local
politics by electing most of its candi-
dates for county offices and giving
l.. l.. McCandless, who was running
against KuhIo for delegate, such a
big vote on Oahu that Kuhio has been
peeved about it ever since.
The particular piece OF business for
tonight's meeting OF the G. 0. r.
leaders Is a discussion OF the direct
primary law enacted by the last legis-
lature. The party has been talking
direct primary for many years and
finally the Republican majority put
the law through in rattling style.
However, most of the Republicans
frankly confess they don't know what
the law means and there will be sew
eral evenings devoted TO talking over
its features.
Both Chairman Won Damn and
John Wise have made considerable
study of the new act and unite in be-
lieying that II means more party or
gsnization than ever. They incline
TO the opinion that longer cam
paign period is necessary and that
the party organization will have. to
be wen perfeeted by the end Of next
summer in order to have 1t working
perfectly through the fall. Chairman
Won Damn plans to secure the CO.
operatlsn of local edireetPrimafg'
students IN putting before the COM
mittee meetings various. phases OF the
act.
Republican leaders have recovered
from their natural discontinue OF
last fall, when the votes all went the
wrong way. Shortly after the Demo-
cratic victory, there were wholesale
desertions from the ranks Of the
voters, many of whom made haste to
get on Democratic roll-books In order
to be in line when the distribution of
patronage began. Now many of these
are said to be anxious to become
good Republicans again. figuring that
Democracy has already began to fade
and that next fall the big Republican
majority on the Island of Oahu will
come into its own again.

MOTT-SM!TH MAY
BE Ineligible
FOR COMMISSION
Indirect Interest in Large Pub
lie Utility Raises TeChni-
Cal Question

Territorial Secretary E. A. Mott
Smith doesn't know whether he is
qualified under the law to hold the
POSITION of chairman of the public
utilities commission, or even to be a
member of that body, and has asked
Attorney General Thayer. for sormai
opinion on the subject
His present job as secretary of the
territory does not disqualify him, but
when the last Legislature enacted the
statute creating the new organization
il inserted a clause specifying that no
one should become member who
held stock in any public utility corpor-
alton which might come within the
jurisdiction of the commission.
Mott-Smith's position is a peculiar
one. He is a director and holds
minority amount of stock in the John
Mott-Smith Estate This estate. In
turn, holds quantity of stock in the
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Com
pany, and the latter concern in turn
holds the controlling interest in the
Kahului Railroad Company The Ka-
hului Railroad Company is one of the
corporations over which the utilities
commission will have power.
Thus Mott-Smith may be said to
have an indirect interest in that con-
cern; whether that interest will be
sufficient to debar him from member
ship on the commission remains for
the attorney general to determine.
1T is a technical question that
should be cleared away before the
commission comes into existence and
assume the new Office" said the sec
retary today. THE query would have
arisen later anyhow. and it might as
web be settled before it becomes a
sourcesof trouble.

Estate is the only one that can be said

HARBOR ENLARGEMENT
PLANS BELIEVED TO
HAVE BEEN ENDORSED

The report of Major w. p. Wooten,
head OF the army engineers here on
The adyisability of making an extend.
ed survey of the proposed ship canal
between Honolulu and Kalihi harbors,
las been forwarded to the chief en-
gineers in Washington. Although Ma
jorsWooten can not give out the tenor
,s6fffhe report until it has been con-
sidered by General Bixby, it is pos
sible by his negative action to deduce
that il recommends the proposed sur
pey. If the report had been unfayor-
able, Major Wooten, according to
army custom, would have notified
the various commercial bodies that
submitted facts and figures in sup
port of the plan. that his recommenda.
lions were against the survey, so that
they could have been given this oppor-
tunity 10 further advance their claim
higher up the line. No such notifica-
tion has been given so the natural
supposition is that Major Wooten ia
1ors at least a complete survey and
soundings for the proposed harbor inn
. provement
The investigation being made by
Major Wooten was not as to the ad-
visibility of cutting the channel and
Joining the harbors, but as to the i'm,
ucrtance of making a full survey.
Funds will have to be appropriated for
this work, and much more extensive
soundings made and figures collected
than are now available.
At any rate. the prospects are that
if the report is approved, the second
step toward harbor enlargement will
be under way before many months.

A LITTLE STORY
 ABOUT FISHERMEN

"Unpleasant circumstances" said o water front lounger, "are liable to arrive most any time" He was speak ing of fisherfolk down on lower Franklin street. "Of course the boys" he continued, don't want to be joshed about it-so I'll not mention any names. About three weeks ago two of them started from Hoonah over to Glacier Bay after ice. It was very dark and just as they were getting close in. their gas boat hit hidden rock When she struck she turned over and filled. The boys had to swim over to the mainland. For two days they were maroned on the bleak coast but finally Jagged a passing fishboat and were taken off. Their boat wasn't injured any, and luckily, no heavy seas disturbed it while rest ing on the rock. With the assistance of those who came to their relief, the boat was righted, and they went back to Hoonah with the load of ice that they had started after"
 The fisherman sailing out of Alas ka waters will go through any num- Der of such circumstances and not complain, calling it all part of the days work. Hardships of this nature while unpleasant have terrors. What really makes a fisherman feel like taking to his bed with fright is to be offered check by an unknown fish buyer. It is reported that cer- tain man recently arrived in Juneau and made a great splurge along the waterfront. The fishermen were not to be the victims of the disastrous culling system adopted by the Seat tie dealers. Buying fish on the Ju- neau dock became a pleasant pas time-but some of the checks came back.
 Now the fishermen are clamoring for a culling system--a system that will cull out the bad checks before they are exchanged for good fish.

A LIGHTHOUSE
 THAT IS NEEDED

The bill introduced in Congress the other day appropriating $125,OOO for the construction of a lighthouse at Cape St. Elias will meet the appro- bation of not only sea-faring men, but of all persons who have to travel along that tempestuous coast.
 Big Stone" which is the local name for the cape, is a commanding as we'll as a dangerous point on the southern coast, and mariners have been asking for many years that light house be constructed there,
 Very frequently the weather is stormy in that section and Cape St. Elias cannot be picked up" by navi- gators. A lighthouse there would be an aid to navigation in all kinds of weather.
