THE FACTS,

Robert w. Breckons in political speech last
night declared that the Star Bulletin is not Civ
ing cordial support to any Hawaiian candidate,
The columns of this paper day after day are suf-
fcient answer to that statement. The Star,
Bulletin is supporting many Hawaiian candi-
dates, pointing out to the voters their just
claims to recognition. Mr.. Breckons will prob
ably repeat his statements. If voters wish to
satisfy themselves as to the facts, they have
only to read the Star Bulletin day by day.

ELIMINATING THE WASTE

Al businessman Of Honolulu has bfoHght up
ihe question OF waste or time by urging that
the DAYS work throughout Hawaii should be

granted that the business day In Honolulu, the
Ifincipai. city, begins at s O'Clock, he points
o,|f that 1t would be quite as easy for the bust
fessman to- begin work at Z, and that such a

This, he argues, would allow needed time for

Candidates Interrogated.

Especially wise and fair were the
remarks of Chairman Dunnett re-
garding the necessity of the party
looking into the charges made
against it and his statement that
when the people began to demand
greater expedition in justice the
courts should not ignore the people
and say no one but themselves are
fitted to consider this. On the con-
trary they should begin an examina-
ton of themselves to see if improve
ments can be made.
There is complaint about the ex-
petition of justice, a demand for
the adjustment of the office of at
torney general and a demand for
more economical and efficient ad-
of state business. We
would respectfully suggest to the
candidates for the state senatorship
that they publicly express their atti-
tude toward these questions.
Are you for a reduction of expens-
es or do you want to perpetuate all
the expensive officials the state now
has?

-Four Republican Speeches.

The republican county convention
last Thursday was favored with four
good campaign speeches. The Hon.
Alexander Dunnett on taking the
chair made speech full of sane sug-
gestions, conciliatory in tone and one
that should make republican votes.
Hale X. Darling spoke briefly but
what he said showed him fully alive
to the issues before the people and
ready to give hard earnest work for
the success of the republican ticket.
In his address Sen. Dillingham;
showed that he had always been 10y
al to the interests Of Vermont and
New England and that he has voted
and worked from conviction. The
entire absence of any filings at his
opponent was another evidence of
his gentlemanly qualities and shows
that he is ready to base his appeal
for support on his own record and
good qualities rather than the weak
nesses of his rivals. This commend
able method adds much to his
chances Of success.
The speech of Charles W. Gates

A Weakness In Fusion.

The fusion of democrats and pro-
gressives that has been so general on
county tickets this year has given
new hope to the members of these
two political organizations. They
express considerable confidence that
they will be able to elect several
state senators and secure some coun-
ty officials. Consequently they are
very jubilant at this stage of the
campaign. Undoubtedly they have
named some strong and deserving
men on their tickets, but in many in
stances their joint candidates are
men without legislative experience
and practically unknown in public
affairs Where the republicans have
chosen wisely and have nominated
men of integrity and ability there
is little to fear from fusion candi-
dates. If they have failed to do this
they may very properly feel some
concern.
But there is another feature to the
situation. The progressives have
They have enunciated certain doc
trines in their platforms which they
claim are the honest pledges of what
they will do if entrusted with politi-
cal Offices. The democrats have de-
clared with equal positiveness that
they are lighting for principle and
have embodied their principles in
their platforms. They too pledge
themselves to redeem their promises.
The principles and promises of the
two parties differ widely and in sew
eral instances directly contradict each
other. Fusion necessarily neutrali-
yes these contradictory declarations
1t utilities the principles of each
party. Neither party is now a party
of principles. Both parties are sim
ply seekers of public office. They
have subOrdinated their principles to
political ambition.
Today the republican party is the
only party of Importance that has
remained loyal to it's principles, that
has refused to sacrifice it's principles
to personal preferment. 1t offers
the only opportunity for the man who
places principles above men to vote
according to his professions. This
should prove an element of strength
that will carry it to victory. Hav-
ing thrown over the principles
which they have asked their follow
ers to support the progressives and
democrats cannot honestly ask men
who believe in these principles to
vote with them. These men are
free to vote wherever they wish and
if they have been honest in their
professions they will not vote for an
unprincipled fusion.
In no instance is a fusion can
didate popular choice but rather
the choice of few politicians in pri-
vate conference. Many of Vermont's
best citizens revolted at the choice
of selected ring of politicians and
it does not seem possible the work
of the fusion bosses can be any more
acceptable to them. In it's sacrifice
OF principles and it's closet picked
candidates fusion may have develop
ed a fatal weakness.

What Is Mr.. PrOutY?

The Rutland Herald CLEANS the
following declarations from one ad-
dress made by Mr.. Prouty last week:
I have always acted with the re-
publican party.
1 stand upon a non-partisan plat
form.
/ have been a lifelong progressive.
| have been in sympathy with most
of the measures for which the demo-
cratic party has stood.
In this contest 1 am soliciting aid
from all parties.
One may we'll inquire what Mr..
Prouty's political species is. The
most charitable Interpretation we
can make of the above bunch of con-
tradictions is that Mr.. Prouty is a
political self seeker, wants votes
from anywhere, but will not promise
loyalty or responsibility to any po-
litical body in return. In other
words he wants you to give him all
you have, your vote, and offers you
nothing. Does this appeal to you?

1t is very much to the credit of
the Vermont banks that Bank Com
missioner Williams was able to re-
port to w. G. McAdoo, secretary of
the treasury, that there has been no
boarding of money by the Vermont
state banks during the past two
months and they have met all legiti-
mate demands for loans by citizens
of Vermont without an increase in
the rate of interest. Wonder if any
state can show a better record than
Vermont at this time.
