CoKE's SLANT ON
THE CHARTER QUESTION
From Saturday Advertiser.

From Saturday Advertiser.
Unexpected and forccful opposition
from Senators Coke and Makekau
caused furry in the ranks of the sup
porters of Senate Bill IS yesterday.
This is the measure providing for the
election of charter commission for
Honolulu the commission to prepare
charter, subject to approval by the
people. Provision is made for holding
a series of elections if necessary, dur
ing the next two years until charter
approved by the people is selected. This
in turn will be submitted to the next
legislature.
Senator Makekau declared that he
believed the people should rule, that
the measure proposed sought to force
charter upon the people and for that
reason he would vote against it. He
was followed by Senator Coke.
81 do not know of any particular
call from the people of Honolulu for
new charter,'' said Senator Coke.
81 believe this is legislation the peo-
pie do not want and though ] admit
/ have not given the measure much
thought, l am proud to take stand
