Voters of Hawaii will tomorrow be called
upon for the first time to exercise under the
new primary law their right of franchise.
The greatest thing in this primary cam
paign is not the triumph of any individual or
any set of individuals over another individual
or another set.
1t is the possibility of exercising the right
of voting with all the freedom of opinion and
Of expression guaranteed to free American
eitizenship surrounded by all the safeguards
that the law can afford
There has never in all the history of Hawaii
been day of politics or government such as
that which comes tomorrow. A new law is on
rial; new method of naming candidates for
The November election is to be tested. 1t lies
With the voters whether it shall be a success
I'd or an unsuccessful test.
Unless tomorrow shall bring forth a full and
frank expression Of opinion, the first pri-
mary law will fall short of success. The nomi-
nees will not be chosen BY all the voters.
There has been in several quarters the caus-
|ic comment that the new primary law has
brought ont very few good candidates and
many mediocre ones, with some that perhaps
could not have got by convention Some
0I this comment may be true-most of 1t is be-
side the mark all of it is useless Under the

future for other good men to offer themselves
for public service in the primary campaignsl
Unless the voters of Hawaii tomorrow put
aside prejudice, put aside personal feeling and
east their ballots for clean, honest, progress
sive, energetic, publie-spirited men, the pri-
mary law will receive a blow of the most dan
gerous kind.
Tomorrow indeed is a critical day in Ha-
waiian self government You thinking men
of Honolulu, cast your ballots for men who are
worth supporting! Give them chance. Show
them that you are stanchIy with their sort of
ideas and character and ambitions.
Unless you do, when the next primary cam
paign rolls around, good men will not come
out for office. They will leave the conduct
of the campaign to the job hunter. the profes-
sional politician, the avid camp follower who
profits by all elections.
Get out early tomorrow morning-cas your
vote for good men, for fearless, honest, capable
men and do what you can to make the pri-
mary an expression of enlightened self
interest. ,,
This is your territory, our territory; your
city, our city; are you not deeply interested in
its welfare9
Remember that if you send poor men to
office, you condemn your public service to
waste, inefficiency, misruie, probable graft.
And you will pay the cost, and yonr neighbor
will pay it.
1t is TO your selflinterest that efficient gov
eminent appeals as much as to your pride
as an American citizen.
