Butler Sees 1916 Victory.

DR.. Butler called attention to the new
and grave possibilities confronting
the Republican party because of its re-
cent victories. He said that the Repub-
lican party of to-day was facing the
front and found its feet firmly set in
the path that would lead TO victory in
the nation at the Presidential election
of 1916. Referring to the national ad-
ministration, he said:
There can be no denying the fact
that the country owes some measure
of benefit TO the grim mastery which
President Wilson has had over the
Democratic majorities in the House Of
Representatives and in the Senate. We
have seen an outbreak Of political bar
barism tempered by rhetoric. The New
Tyranny sometimes known as the New
Freedom, has in this respect proved
benefcent instrument Of government.
II has not served, IL is true, TO ward
off the repeated and violent assaults OF
the merit system made in the interest
Of political plumber.
at mas not kept from disruption the
great Department of State, or from
shameful exploitation a large part of
the diplomatic service of the govern
ment.
at has not prevented something be-
tween nervous prostration and hys-
terra, with marked signs Of both, IN the
Treasury Department.
at has not prevented the admin
istraton of the navy from being made
laughing stock and subJecting the
gallant officers of that service to trials
more serious than those imposed by
battle. But what the New Tyranny has
done is TO keep the Democratic legis-
lative majority, representing only a
minority Of the voters. from wreaking
the full fruits of its incompetence and
folly upon the American people, their
business and their form OF government.
"What are those who do not like this
state of affairs going to do about 1t?
There is only one fundamentally by
which the Democratic party can be de-
feated, and by means OF which com
petence, order and some knowledge Of
historic and economic facts and laws
can be restored TO the government OF
the United States. That instrumental
ity is the Republican party"
In introducing Chairman Tanner DR..
Butler called for a toast standing 10

fcient leader, who has won his first
spurs in his first great battle" The

Party Leaders with the Exception
Of William Barnes.
DIR. BUTLER ATTACKS THE PRESIDENT
Calls Administration Reign of Tyranny" and Navy
Policy Laughing Stock of Nation-State Commit
tee Plans Endowment at Afternoon Meeting

Governor-elect Charles S. Whitman
broke his post-campaign pledge for the
second time last night, that he would
not attend any public dinners before
going to Albany, and appeared as a
guest of honor at the complimentary
dinner given by the Republicans of the
state to the officers OF the Republican
State Committee, at the Waldorf. The
new Governor came in late and re-
ceived an enthusiastic welcome from
the LOO diners.
The dinner followed meeting Of the
State Committee in the afternoon.
Practically all the leaders and promi-
nent Republicans in the state were at
the dinner, with the one noticeable eX-
ception of William Barnes, former Re
publican state chairman. Mr.. Barnes
was invited. but, it was said, had a
pressing engagement which he could
not break
Two Democrats were noticed in the
audience, John A. Hennessy, who ran
for Governor on the Independent
Democratic ticket, and Warren W.
Foster, former Judge of General SEES
sions. Judge Foster sat at table in
one Of the tiers of boxes with Frank
Moss, who formerly was Mr.. Whitman's
chief of staff in the District Attorneys
Office

bration of recent Republican victory

OF the party everywhere in the
ascendancy

dent Of Columbia University, who pre-
sided, said it looked like a Republi-
can National Convention. DR.. Butler
created added excitement when he
launched into an unmercifufl attack on
the national Democratic administra-
ton, declaring that President Wilson
had established a new reign of tyr
amy" accompanied by a demoralized
State Department, a hysterical Treas
ury Department, and an administration
Of the navy which was the laughing
stock of the nation.
After congratulating the Republicans
on the splendid showing made in the
state on November 8, and expressing
his appreciation of the work of Chair
man Tanner, Of the State Committee,
GovernOr-elect Whitman said:
1--WE are proud, and justly proud, Of
the fact that the people in no uncer-
tain tones have called again TO power
in this great state and in other states
of the nation the Republican party.
While we rejoice in party success, We
realize. too, that the real contest
which was waged in the Empire State
was struggle on behalf of our people
for something more than mere party
triumph or success; that it represents
a demand for something infinitely
more important than party advantage
or political control; that it is by no
means to be taken as q final expression
of the peoples attitude upon issues
which had no proper place in state
campaign; that it is an appeal to those
elected as Republican candidates 20
give to the State of New York honest
government.

Just one jump behind all the way,
and with a chance 10 take the lead in
almost every frame, the Hawaiis were
nevertheless unable to catch the Chi
nese in the opening game OF yester-
days Oahu League double header.
The Chinese scored one in the sec
ond. With one out Kualii walked,
going to third on an error, followed by
wild pitch. Cheong's sacrifice fly
brought home the run. In the third
the Hawaiis made it one and one
Willie Desha walked, and then went
TO second on Chilly's sacrifice. Fer.
nandez was safe when Luck zee made
a poor throw to the bag. Then along
came Dave Dasba with a nice sacri-
flee bunt down the first base line that
gave Willie a chance to come home.
The winning run came home in the
fourth, and it would have been cut off
at the plate if Brito had showed bit
more speed. Yen Chin and Kai Luke
hit in succession, and zap sacrificed
the former to third. Then Lai Tin
raped a sharp enc TO Chiliingworth.
The latter fired the ball to the plate,
the throw being a trifle on the wide
side of the runner However, it look
ed as though Ditto could have showed
the ball on the runner with quick
turn, but he moved with great DELHI
Grafton and Umpire Stayton called the
runner safe. as be undoubtedly was

In the sixth the Hawaiis had a
chance, for if Dave Desha had not

been saved from being caught oil

made two on and one out, instead OF
the reverse. The Chinese came near
the plate again in the seventh, when
Yen Chin opened with a triple, but
Alex Desha steadied, and two pops to
short and a strikeout resulted.

The Coast Defense team, with Law

League appearance Tor the season yes
terday, anu broke into the percentage
table with a shut-oat victory. To add
10 the glory, Lawson pitched a no-hIi
game, striking out IL men. He spoiled
a perfect pitching record. however, by
walking three and hitting one. Law
sons work throughout the game was
big league stuff, and he showed LOT
more pep than usual, and took the
adverse calls with more equanimity
The team made only one error behind
him, and altogether the concrete sold.
iers came into the pennant race like
stake horses.
Barney Joy opposed the gunners
and pitched very good game, but
with his teammates unable TO connect
and the other fellows refusing to fall
down, there was little chance to get
away with the long end of the score.
Barney struck out 10, and walked the
same number as Lawson, but he gave
three men transportation by the soak
route.
The Coast Defense got on the board
lin the second, when Hundley led off
with two-bagger TO left. Thomas
was out, JOY to Jansen, and then the
st. Louis twirler connected with John
sons ribs, the latter stealing second
a moment later. Hudnall sent fast

course spiked the rubber. O'Hara
dumped one down in front of the box,
which Joy gathered in. He badly mis-
