when they are boiling with political
wrath and party alliances II is policy
for us to sit back and let them fight
their own battles"
At all OF the eight studios there are
daily arguments between the candi-
dates of the three parties. One picture
has been spoiled by the leading lady
OF the Nestor company. who forgot her
business and launched forth into a
heated suffrage argument with her
leading man while the frantic director
was trying to film a ball room scene.
Squaws Grow Militant - Threaten
Braves.
The women are threatening to resort
to methods of sabotage as practiced in
London and Paris by militant politi-
calls. They promise to spoil thousands
of feet of film unless the men will treat
their movement with more dignity and
agree to give them their support.
One sQuaw with a particularly stub
born spouse who rides bucking bron-
chos in some of the best 101 Bison

agree to vote right"

fear of getting no meals at all The
suffrage question has already pene-
trated TO the big kitchen where over
a thousand moving picture people take
dinner and supper together daily.
Men do the cooking in this kitchen, but
women serve the meals. so they have
the ruling hand after all Suffrage
sympathizers are getting big helptngs
nowadays while many Progressives
and Democrats are going hungry. even
after passing up their plates for third
and fourth scanty helping.
An interesting question Of naturai-
zation arises because two hundred and
forty-one OF the voters are Indians As
yet many cases OF Indian voters are in
question There is also some talk
about the fact that three hundred OF
the inha bitants are discharged United
States soldiers. and the right of some
OF these men to vote Is being Ques-
toned
There is a great deal OF betting on
the outcome. Groups OF actors and &C

Two charges of graft have been
made unofficially against Democra tic
and Progressive nominees by members
OF the suffrage party. II is charged
that Democratic candidates several
weeks ago opened negotiations with
officials OF a traction company operat-
ing a suburban line between Los An
geles and Universal City and who are
DESTROYS of obtaining franchise to lay
tracks through the main streets of the
new municipality to bring about the
necessary influence in event they were
given sufficient financial support dur
ing the present campaign. A similar
charge has been made against GER
tain leaders in the Progressive fac
ton. who. according to the women
office seekers. have held long confer
ences recently with several contractors
from Los Angeles who are seeking the
acceptance OF their bids to build arte-
sian wells in Universal City and to
construct new cottages and lay out the
streets.
Both the Progressive and Democratic
candidates who have been labeled by
the suffrage opponents as being in
volved in the election conspiracies
have placarded every telephone pole
and board fence in the city with en-
phatic denials of the verbal alega-
tons made against them.

Cf patience yet awhile, setting forth
is attitude in a letter TO the super
VisCrs.
The prospects today were that the
health beard would not take a contrO-
versial view OF the situation, but
would look for a peaceful solution OF
the difficulty. DR.. Pratt believes that
no real issue exists and that the SUI
perviSors and the health board will
arrive at a way Of getting what every
one wants, clean markets.
Meanwhile the supervisors have
been sent the following letter, show
ing that the health board does not in
tend to de market inspecting except
as Incidental to the issuance Of per
mits for the stall keepers.
The letter is as follows:
ITO the Honorable Board of Supervi
sors of the City and County of
Honolulu. Hawaii
Gentlemen: ! am directed by DR.
J.. S. B. Pratt, president OF the board
of health, to acknowledge the receipt
of your communication, through your
deputy city and eountE clark. under
date Of October 20. enclosing an opin'
ion Of the first deputy city and coun'
ty attorney in regard. to the recon.
meHdations of the board of health in
me matter Of the improvement of
sanitary conditions at the fishmarket,
and to state that these communica-
tons were considered by the board at
its meeting held, this day.
After a thorough discussion of the
matters In question, the president of
the board was instructed, on behalf of
the board, to caH your attention to
the fact that the matter of inspection
of fish and meats is wholly covered
by county ordinance; that the board
OF health has had no funds for that
purpose since the legislative session
OF 1909, when the city and county
was given authority In these matters,
and the appropriation 10 the board Of
health ceased; that the question Of
inspection of the fish and meat sold
is entirely extraneoas from that Of
issuing certificates for licenses to
vendors in the markets; that the
Uoard of health has no power in re-
gard to the matter of inspection and
has nothing to say. in regard to your
action in Withdrawing your inspect
ors; that he board Of Health does not
agree In; regard to your Interpretation
as to police zpowerss and that the
demands made by the board of health
have been reasonable and well with
in the duty. imposed upon the board
of health by law, 2. ssb E - =,

board. The health board, armed with the funds,
could appoint inspectors who wOnld SET that the

AS between the two courses, No. ! offers a

the present board Of supervisors has already said
that it does not wish to work with the board Of
health under an arrangement of this kind.
Again the situation shows that until the syS
TEN of divided authority on sanitary matters is
ended, the public will suffer nv reason of jeal-
eusy, controversy, conflict and distrust between
two branches of government that should work
absolutely in harmony.
