THE CHOICE OF A TERRITORIAL CHAIRMAN

AI unprecedented situation in territorial poll
ii,-s faces the new Republican territorial central
committee, and the committeeman will act wisely
and well il they exercise much care and fore
sight in organizing their forces for the cam
paign.
The choice of a territorial chairman is of I'M
usual Importance. The new direct primary law
has reYoutionized political organization work.
Ii has brought about situation where terri
itgriaI committee can make or mar party pros
pects by its course of action during the primary
campaign. 1t will idevolve upon the new chair
man to direct the committee, to keep it clear Of
fractional entangIements, to steer it away from
The rocks Of partisan affiliation, as body, with
any one of the Republican candidates.
The Star Bulletin has emphasized in the past,
and wishes again to emphasize, the danger to
Isepublican prospects if the territorial commit
fus plays fayorites prior,fo the primary cleo
ton This primarily election is an election to
nominate party choices for the regular cam
l,aign. 1t is a contest between Republican can
sdilates, each of whom presumably is a bona fide
party member.
For the territorial committee to play favor
ties before the primary is held means factional
biiternesses and difficulties of cliques and clan
thar viii inevitably be carried into the regular
cairpagn
1t is imperative that the chairman of the Re
publican territorial committee ally himself ac-
lively with no one Of his party's candidates as
against another He must refrain from speak
ing for one candidate and against the other.
This is especially true in the pre-primary cam
paign for delegate to congress.
III the central committee is to keep its forces
intact its vigor undiminished, its integrity as
Il party organization, it must steer an impartial
course. Then there will be no bitterness of spir-

NO REASON FOR A RACE ISSUE

If the race issue raises its head during the
coming campaign, it will be encouraged not by
the friends but by the enemies of Hawaii. No
candidate is being supported or opposed by
htthlnklng men because he has in him the
blood OF any one race or any mixture of races.
Let the fight be fought fairly, above board, ON
the grounds of efficiency energy, honesty, unset

FRUIT EXCHANGE IS
DENIED ITS NAME
Supreme Court Uph0lds Secre-
tary of State in His Refus-
al of Corporate License

BY q decision handed down
from the state supreme court
this week, the Kennewick Fruit
Exchange is denied the use of
the name under which it has
been doing business since or
ganization last spring.
When the company was in
corporated several months ago,
Secretary of State 1. M. Howell
refused to accept the articles of
incorporation and to issue a Ii
cense on the grounds that the
name, "Kennewick Fruit Ex-
change" was so similar to the
names of other local corpora
tions as to be confusing. The
company later brought action
in the supreme court to force
the secretary to accept its filing
fee and grant a license. The
case was argued before the
court by M. M. Moulton and the
assistant attorney general some
time ago but it was not until
Tuesday that the decision was
rendered. The court upholds
the secretary and refuses the
!use Of the name.
although the decision will
cause us some annoyance, it
will in no way affect our busi-
ness nor our capacity for hand
ling the products of our pa
trons," said Sales Manager C..
H. Collins yesterday. ut isn't
a name we are after. 1t is a
reputation and name or no
name we shall continue to do
business just as we have since
the opening of the season. As
yet we have not consi d.
cred the selection Of another
name and will continue to use
the present one for the next 60
days which will carry us prac-
tically through the shipping
season"
