.IHAYER IS not
IN ACCORD With
WEAVER DECISION

Regardless of . legal opinion to the
contrary, it now appears probable that
political parties will not have their
names on the primary ballot until they
have produced evidence that they are
organized over the territory and have
regular county and territorial commit
tees.
This was brought out at confer
ence between Secretary of Territory
w W. Thayer and City and County
Clerk David Kalauokalani. Jr The for
mer informed the county clerk that an
a condition precedent to putting the
name of party on the ballot he would
require the names of all committee
men, etc.
The question Of what parties are en-
titled to have their names on the ball
lot came up with the formation Of the
new political organization, the Lahnf
An opinion handed down By p. L Wea-
yer, deputy city and county clerk. held
that the city was obliged TO recognize
any de facto party. and did not have
the authority to inquire into its status.
From the attitude taken by the Sec
Tetary of territory, It appears that the
latter and Mr.. Weaver are not IN har-
mony on the rights OF organizations to
get their names on the ballot.
