Although the next session OF the
legislature Is two months of, there is
already considerable talk in political
circles over the possibilities in connec-
zion with the confirmation or failure OF
conhrmaiion of Governor Pinkham' 8 ap.
pointees.
Under the custom obtaining hereto.
fore the Gpvernor will likely send 10
the senate a list of his appointees early
IN the session. The senate may or may
not taken action IN the premises inn
mediately. Likely as not IL will mot
take up action on the confirmation fea-
tnre until late in April, probably on
the eve Of its adjournment. This has
been the practise during the last three
or four Sessions. ts-ts.sf Is q :.
Cabinet Members for Confirmation
Five Of Governor Pinkham's Hcabi-
net meinbers' will have their names
before the senate for confirmation, and
then there will be the names Of between
fifty and a hundred members OF differ
emit government boards who have been
appointed by Governor Pinkham since
he took Office earlyiin January.
The "cabinetH officers whose names
will go before the senate for confrina-
tion are Ingram NJ. Stainback, attorney
general; Henry W. Kinney, superinteni-
ent Of public instruction; William P.
Jarrett, high sheriff and warden Of
Oahu prison; Charles r. Forbes, super
intendent Of public works, and Charles
~ Mccarthy, treasurer Of the Terri
tory. Y6iF
Some Feel safe +.
From what can be gathered from q
number of members Of the next senate
and generally around political circles,
il appears that but little opposition, If
any at1all will be made manifest over
the confirmation Of Stainback and Jar
rett That some opposition will be
made in regard to Kinney and Forbes,
and more particularly in regard TO the
latter, is unprecedented, but those on the
inside believe that both will pull
through, In the case of Colonel Me-
Carthy much depends, il is believed,
ON the manner and matter { mis- ap,
pointment of Island assessors and APP
proval Of the appointment Of their dep.
mites by the essessors.

Treasurer NJ 'le,hhy win not make any
further ehN es in the territorial tax

Probable changes in this department.
will be few and far between from now
n,it is believed. N.
The story is that Mccarthy will re-
talfate in no uncertain manner in the
event that City Treasurer Conkling
makes clean sweep when he assumes
offieo at the beginning of the year
The situation is altogether a different
one, say politicians. Mccarthy is sub
ieet to conf nation at the hands Of a
scnnte which contains working Re
publican majority, while Conkling will
E have back Of him and his actions q
mayor aud board entirely Republican,
Colonel Mccarthy will, therefore, say
political experts, go slow in the mat
ter Of retaliation.
But little pilikia is expected when
the confirmation Of members Of differ
eHt boards will come up In the senate,
except in two or three cases. The
greatest lot Of pilikia likely to come
about will be in the case Of the Ha.
waii fair commission, two of whose
mem aers have been appointed by Gov
ernor Pinkham
some Commissioners Not Safe
Taken together with the fact that
Governor Pinkham has never been a
patron saint Of Hawaii's coming ex.
hibit In San Francisco next year and
that considerable dissatisfaction has re-
Gently been expressed in many quar-
tiers over the Chickering's and doings OF
some Of the members of the commits
sion, il Is believed that the senate win
likely fail to confirm a number of APP
pointments on this board.
III. p. Woods (chnirman), j. N. s,
Williams and John III. Wise are tout
of the woods as the saying goes, for
they were confirmed by the last senate
but John ElIinger and b. G. Rivenburgh
/. were appointed by Governor Pinkham
long after the last senate adjourned.
In the ease OF the former, Effinger, con.
siderable doubt Is expressed as TO his
being confirmed and Rivenburgh win
find some difIicuIty, but not of an In.
surmOuntable nature, IL is believed.
