sULzER AGREES TO
RUN FOR OFFICE
WILL ATTEMPT TO GET INTO NEW
YORK AssEMBLYoN PRO-
~@1 GREssIvE TICKET. III

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 21.-What will
be the outcome of William Sulzer'
race for the legislature? This was tn
question foremost in the minds o
politicians around the capitol today.
i 1t was generally agreed that he will
make a great deal of trouble for tn
Organization in New York. His fir
will be directed especially agains
Aaron J. Levy who is candidate TO
municipal Judge and Alfred B. Smith
the speaker of the assembly who seek.
to succeed himself. "a"
Sulzer intends to invade their dis
tricts and attempt to square account:
with them for their active part in his
ganization candidates generally. Ever
Suffers worst political foes practically
concede him victory in his own assem-
bly, district. They were inclined to re
gard the withdrawal Of republican
candidate as a trick intended to dam
age the democratic party great deal
at the cost of a small concession
There was no doubt expressed that the
republicans will work hard for Sulzer
in the hope that he will repay them
amply by his attacks on Tammany
Hall in case he reaches the assembly
After SpeakershIp.
The question which caused the great
est speculation however was how
many votes Sulzer would be able to
swing for his speakership candidacy in
case Of his election. -...-E
The consensus of opinion was the
next assembly would be divided among
the three parties and If this prediction
is true and Sulzer is able to muster the
undivided support of one faction and a
few insurgents from other quarters he
would prove a big factor in the race.
A majority of the assembly Is required
to elect a speaker, and only landslide
for one party can prevent long dead
lock if Sulzer wins.
sulzer himself does not admit, that
impeachment. And, of course in that
fight he will oppose the democratic or
he has deserted the democratic party
by accepting, the progressive nomina-
ton and the republicans Endorsement.
Il am non-partisan candidate"
he said today land am fighting for
a principle instead of party"
The impeached governor confided to
a friend last night that the opposition
Of Theodore Douglas Robinson to his
candidacy did not surprise him BIT he
thought if COL Roosevelt were in this
country he would have his support.
Speculation was rife as to just what
Tammany would do in the fight It is
known that all of the unused evidence
in the impeachment trial is in the
hands Of the Tammany leaders and
rumor has it that this material SOC
would appear in pamphlet form for
generl distribution

Army HIGHER. UPS
In IMPORTANT
CONFERENCE

Army higher-ups of, the department
held an important conference this
morning and afternoon, at which mat
ters connected with the defenses of
Oahu, and the field training of the
troops here, with a view to making
them most effective and efficient
should they be called on to repel an
invader, were fully discussed Maneu-
yer plans were under discussion, and
it is understood that although this is
not the year for joint maneuvers, next
fall will see the mobile army of Oahu
in the field. for the most extensive mil
itary operations in the history of the
island. During the next few months
the troops will be kept busy IN the
field, and small problems involving
more than one arm of the service, will
in all probability be worked out.
A new order for field training has
recently been issued by the war de-
partment, and there are many new
provisions which require considerable
study, especially as applied to the de-
fense of Pearl Harbor and Hawaii as a
whole, as the naval outpost of the ma
ton.
The plans of the Macomb board for
the defense of Oahu is an inexhaustible
subject for the military strategists, and
it is believed that General Funston
will call the organization commanders
together frequently, to keep in close
touch with the local situation.
|. At army headquarters in the Young
hotel were gathered together this
morning General Funston, department
commander; Major Conklin. chief of
staff; General Macomb, commanding
the First Hawaiian Brigade; Col. Nc
Gunnegle, First Infantry, and post
commander at Schofield; Col. French,
Second Infantry; Col Kennon, Twenty
fifth Infantry; Col. Beach, Fourth Cav
airy; Major Cruikshank, First Field
Artillery: and several other high
ranking officers, who have been inti-
mtaely connected with conditions lead

FREAR SORRY TO
SEE BILL FAIL

Expressing regret at tie failure oil
the senate Saturday to pass Senate
Bill 135, sanitary land measure pro
viding $125,G00 from the revolving
fund for the purpose of draining lands
in the Waikiki district, Governor
Frear this morning stated that he was
in hopes that the senate, when the
matter has been brought more clearly
to its attention, will pass the measure
ire.
Governor Frear explained that it is
far less expensive to put in the drain.
age this time because work of irri
cation and dredging is now going on
The territory will thus be saved the
expense of digging ditches Also, the
governor explained, it is the terri
tory's duty to place drains along pub
lie highways and the work will have
to be done some time or other The
land owners, II is believed, will agree
to fill in all lands that are drained so
that it will not be necessary to with,
draw money from the revolving fund
for this purpose. ::..~...
There is at present $4,000 in the
revolving fund After S125,000 has
been appropriated there will still re
main $4,000 which, in the opinion OF
Governor Frear and others, will be
sufficient to care for additional expen-
ditures. The S125,000 asked for in
Senate Bill 135 would be sufficient to
complete the draining of the lands
from the city to Kalakaua avenue and
from King street to the ocean.
The bill was tabled in the senate
Saturday upon vote OF S for and s
against the measure 1t is stated that
the chief objection raised was that the
passage Of the bill would cause too
much money to be withdrawn from
the revolving fund
