Why Coke Missed Out.
Genial Jim Coke is naturally peeved and is accusing the
local Democratic organization of having doubecrossed him
As matter of fact however do believe that the loca
organization had the least thing whatever do with the
dumping of Coke and the selection of the Missouri colonel
1t may be remembered that two three months ago
The Advertiser announced that the Washington powers
gumshoeng around bit regarding Coke and his claims
the federal position am told that they picked up some
interesting bits of send in the attorney general
including oriental newspapers, which went forward
to Washington marked Exhibit a. These newspapers
illustrated with two charming portraits of the
candidate for the district atoeyshp the other of his law
partner The inference drawn by the evmnded that
the pictures used to impress upon the oren
tai mind the value of having lawyer the who was
partner of the man who about to be the United States
district attorney. OF course. l. myself don think tina
my friend Eddie Doutht had any idea of allowing the
of his picture for anything but ornamental purposes
but Washington given to understand otherwise

with snub His ideas appealed to and going t.
pass them
'rhe Republican party doesn't need any reorganization
in Oahu " he said. "What il needs decent burial
rebirth. We have party now We have no organza
tion have nothing but corpse that is overdue at TIL
cemetery My hope is that simply bury the dead; theI
start all again and organize party, asking the ul
Mooers to help because the Progressves want for Hawai-
what the decent Republicans want while what they
for the mainland makes no difference to would throw
the rules away would burn up the old precinct rolls
would forget everything have done and start again il
every precinct, with roll book, club and
brand new set of club officers and brand delegate
to central committee Then could pass rules
start the ball rolling towards victory next year The rule
of the party intended principally to keep the
in power the throw them away the better.
1t strikes that that is what the party wants Not
organization but regeneration.
