WHITMAN FOR GOVERNOR

Recent developments i'm New York state poll
tics are of nationwide interest, particularly the
report by Associated Press last night that
Charles S. (not j. L. Whitman will run for
the governorship on the Republican ticket
Charles s. Whitman is the militant district
attorney who sent Becker to Sing Sing and
four of the gunner to the electric chair for
the murder Of Gambler Rosenthal.
Fusion between the "independentH Demo-
Gratis of New York-the Wilson Democrats
and the Progressiyes has been made impossible
by Col Roosevet's violent attack and unceas-
ing opposition to the Wilson administration.
Fusion between the Progressives and the Re
publicans is just as impossible The New York

from the viewpoint of Wilson Democracy, SAYS !:
Mr.. Roosevelt's mad ambition makes fusion
Impossible, liz he were sincerely interested in
trying to correct abuses of government in Al

support him; but Mr.. Roosevelt is merely tax
ing advantage of the state campaign to club a
nomination for president oHt of the Republi-
cans. If he can do it, well and good That is
matter for Republicans to settle; but it is
also a matter for independent Democrats to
keep clear of
sIf the state campaign develops a situation
III which independent Democrats must choose,
between the leadership of Mr. Roosevelt and
that of regular Republican like Charles s.

GIVE TIE Guard ENCOURAGEMENT

The suggestion that Honolulu should pay
public recognition to the assembling, for the
first time in history of the full territorial Ma
tional Guard regiment is a good suggestion.
"HonClulu can make a ten-strike in unifying
all Hawaii" declares one good friend of the
Guard, and he is right. public review of the
regiment, a banquet or dance-Or bOth-for Of
ticers and men, general "get-together" meet
ing in the new armOry, would serve to show the
visiting companies the friendly cordial feeling
Of Honolulu toward the National Guard of
Hawaii
The companies from the other islands have
come long way to the encampment Homo
lulu has emphasized in the past year its belief
in the value to Honolulu of the National
Guard, and now is the time to emphasize that
lelief in the National Guard of all Hawaii.

ne MERlT SYSTEM.

THE MERIT SYSTEM
The Republican party firmly believes In the APP
plicatien OF the merit system in the administration
OF our citys affairs All persons applying for ap-
pointment TO office should be judged and appointed
alone upon their qualities Of efficiency and char
acter. .~E s-".. X. ..E 49,"
We therefore pledge candidates for the
eral Offices of the city and county Of Honolulu to
this policy, thus assuring the people Of city
better and more efficient government. &c.
The manner in which this plank was handled
by the convention was not only remarkable lit
was unprecedented
There was not single word of opposition
TO this program that will put every Republican
municipal candidate ON record as opposed to
the patronage system" of doing politics. "a
less dgnifcd and more exactly expressive term
for il is the 'pe-counter system.
Every delegate upheld the spirit and the let
ter of the plank as it came from the platform
committee 1t passed unanimously. Half a
dozen men at once moved the adoption Of the
plank
The two outstanding features of yesterdays
convention and platform are the insistence on
efficiency in city government-to be- gained by
the subcrdination OF the pie-counter way of hir
ing employes-and the emphasis placed on good
roads The good roads plank pledges the mil-
nicipal candidates in favor of the frontage-tax
or local Improvement plan,
In place of the dilly-dallying of the present

apparent inability to grasp the necessities of
the situation, the Republican candidates 90 on
record boldly for fair and equitable admins
ffation of all street and road work under the
frontage-tax plan
Yesterdays convention was also distinctive
for the makeup of its membership 1t was
body Of average citizens, useful citizens, with
ont a lobbyist or wire-puller in the bunch.
Strangely enough, practically nothing was said
Of party politics. What those men in the con-
fcnticn wanted to get wac platform that
would assure to Honolulu civic improvement,
tleanliness, health, economical and effective
financing. Believing in municipality fully
equipped with powers to carry on all its bust
ness they adopted plank favoring grant to
Honolulu OF the right to fix its own tax rate in
city and county And in asking for larger
powers, they demand internal administration
OF character to measure up to the larger re
spnnsibilities
The county platform is good one and even
better is the spirit in which it was drafted.
This platform and this spirit will be two
strong factors in Republican success this fall
