address the convention on the good
of the party Charley Achi immedi-
ately moved AN amendment that the
delegate to Congress and the nation
al committeeman" be invited to
speak. thus avoiding the use of more
personal reference.
Chairman A. F. Judd promptly
ruled the motion out OF order. He
declared that Achi's amendment was
but subterfuge for the motion to
ask Kuhio and Rice to speak, and that
such an invitation would violate the
principle laid down by the chairman
upon taking the chair, that any at.
tempt TO use the convention for the
advantage or disadvantage of any
candidate would be contrary TO the
spirit of the direct primary law.
Chair Is Sustained.
Chairman Judd then invited the
convention to express its wishes as
TO his ruling by voting either to sus-

tain or to override the chair. The
chair was sustained by a rather close
vote. As LeaI:y as could be ascer-
tanned last night, the Maui, Kauai
and the Fourth district of Oahu
backed up Senator Judd, while the
Hawaii and Fifth district delegates
voted TO override the ruling.
The result of the vote, however.
seemed 10 give general satisfaction
and the delegates quite obviously felt
that the right course had been taken.
Delegate Kuhio and Senator Rice
both appeared before the platform
committee during it's sessions yester
day and last night. making number
of suggestions Delegate Kuhio urged
that instead of asking Congress for
broader powers as a territory. Ha.
waii should concentrate forces on its
fight for statehood. He pointed out
that Hawaii already has very broad
powers for territory and that the
movement for statehood should be
strongly supported.

that Miss Crosman has the cIeverest

that in it Miss Crosman is at her very
best. Not since she did Mistress

That Traction Engine Law.

The Hartford County Grand Jury in its
recent report to the Court. has this to say
concerning the traction engine law. which
has caused no end of trouble. and to no
good purpose:
There were several cases of violations
Of the law as to running traction engines
on macadam roads. We have heard
witnesses in these cases. and failed to find
wherein the roads have been substantially
damaged. and we think that the Act oil
Assembly as now existing is an unwar-
ranted discrimination directly against the
operators of traction engines and indirect
ly against the farmers living in the COM
munities traversed by macadam roads.
We respectfully suggest. therefore. that
legislation should be had not only looking
to the protection of the roads, bpt also
looking to the protection and convenience
Of the farmers 10 the communities through
which the roads pass"
