The first political rally of the pres ent campaign was held under defno- cratic auspices in the Bliven opera house Saturday night. with Iair- sized audience in attendance, as IL was in the main composed of repupllccaii.s, .s for there are not enough democrats III the town to make a. respectable show : ing in numbers. The speakers were Colonel Patrick Henry Quinns candi- date for governor, Congressman feter Goelet Gerry, candidate for re-eiections and Irving o. Hunt. candidate for at- torney-generaL
 Colonel Quinn hinted at graft under the republican administration in Hhooe Island and said: The cost of public printing became so scandalously large that even the republican party had to take measures to reducce 1t, and although the reduction was made 1n a half hearted way. it resulted. Tn the first year, of a saving of $2O,0O0. An other item of extravagant expenditure is the mileage grab taken for the gen eral assembly last session, in the matter of daily mileage. While 1t may be argued that the members are entitled to mileage beyond the figure fixed by the general assembly, in order to pay them for their reason able expenses. certainly they ought not to be paid more than the actual cost to them of transportation to and from their homes. Such system of mile age would reduce the cost or the gen eral assembly by many thousands of dollars. Another wrong item of ex- pense is the payment of salaries to clerks of committees who simply hold positions which carry no duty except that of collecting the salaries at stat ed periods An examination of the state auditors reports will show, here and there. items of expenditure which are needless and therefore wastefu1. He said the republican party has demonstrated it's incapacity to provide funds for the support of the state government or to properly han dle the funds.

specifically prohibit the bribing or the attempt of bribing of voters. To claim that the attorney general has not known thai bribery has taken place is an insult to his intelligence. To claim that he has the right to rely upon town police officials to start prosecution is begging the question. The statute states that he shall draw and present all information concern ing any criminal matters or wrongs done to the state or any citizen there Of It is his duty to see that the criminal laws are enforced. This he has not done. MT. Hunt said he did not contend that any large proportion of the vote Is bought or sold, but that zealous, energetic attorney general should and could materially lessen crime in the state.
 When Congressman Gerry stepped to the footligfrts he was accorded a hearty greeting, the republicans unit ing with democrats in applause.

Dear beloved readers Of the
Boogle- Creetingsl The time has
at last came when we throw up our
hands in despair and boiler as fol-
lers: 1--WE can't write eddytoriul
this wiki"
We have been expecting to haft
to make this confeshion for 10, these
menny yrs, but we have allus man
aged to stave it off until now. We
repeat that we not only have been
expeckting it but we are amazed
and surprised and shocked that it
amt happend before this. There
has been some wles. when we thort
to goodness we couldn't think of no
subjecl<t under the sun about which
we haddent wrote eddytoriul, but
somehow or utf1er we managed to
write some kind of a one about
somethink-but this wlk it amt no
use-we can't think of nothinl
absolootly nothinkl Our head
don't seem to have no more idees
in it for eddytoriuls than block
Iof wood, so you'll all haft to wait
/ til next wk when we hope to be able
to take up our eddytoriul pen il,
hand agin and dash off a red hot
eddytoriul about somethink or other
with our ushual vigger & vim, ct
cettery.
Until then all we've got to say is

After he had ct what the dog left
him Yves went down to Hen Weathers-

Smalley who Yves set down beside of
told Yves to for goodness sakes git his
self off somewheres else. This made
Yves mad and he told Gid if he wanted
ennybuddy to git off somewhere else
to do 50 hisself Gid said he would
gladly do 90 but he was too sick to
move. Gid has q turrible weak stum-
mick on him and to have Yves 60 and
set down right clost beside him made
Gid sick as ! dog. SS
Finally when most everybody in the
store had departed Hen Weathersby,
the prop of the store, went right mp to
Yves Madden = wet hen and he told
Yves right to his face that If he didn't
have no more cents than to come into .
publick store smelling like that he ort
to be ashamed of hisself and unless he
got right out he (Hen) would be under
the painful necessity of kicking him out.
Course all Yves could do was go
being as the store was Hens property
and Hen could do with it a. he pleased
but Yves got awful mad and as he went
out the door he shuk his fist in Hens
face and told him he wouldn't newer
buy 4 cents worth of ennythink from
him 90 long Is he lived if he lived to be
4 thousand yeers old. Hen said he
didn't care being ~ al Yves bought
ennyhow was = lettle chewin tobacker

Yves went back to the barn to sleep all
night and he has been sleepin there ever

Wee Woodruff, our expert hunter and
trapper (who might be q leetle mite
more exporter in our opinion if he'd
watch his p's and q's). has went and
got hisself into diserase agin, and ~ a
result there amt nobuddy m Bineville
who will 60 near enuff to Yves if they
can help it to bid him the time of day
Or for emmy other reason. This is how
it was:
Last Friday Yves, he made the round
OF ms traps to lug en- home. perviding
he could lug en- all home to onct. being
as they be steel traps and is quite heavy.
and Yves had his doubts about it. How
ever, he callrilated to lug home all he
could. being as the trapping season is
over and done for fer this season and
he won't have emmy occasion to set his
traps until next fall.
Well, Yves he made the rounds Of his
traps and didn't find nothink in enny
of them, which didn't disappint Yves
emmy, being as he didn't expecltt to find
nothink in them-unti1 he got half way
up on the side of Sawridge Mountaing,
where he had q trap set for skunk, and
when Yves come to the trap blamed if
there wassent skunk in it.
The skunk was quiet and IVES he TUX
it for granted it was dead, but SIGH was
far from the case, which. only goes to
show that emmy of us is liable to be mis-
taken at times. Well, Yves he walked
right up to the skunk, fearless as lion,
but it seems the skunk was only playin
possum, and when Yves got right up
clost to it it riz up, and you can guess
what happend.
Wes in speaking about it later said at
first the oderiferous odor almost made
him sick to his stummick, but after he
had skun the skunk and took its pelt of
fen it he sort of begin to revive and
the stencil didn't pear to bother him
emmy to speak of, probably doe to the
facl<t that he had become 20 innocleulat-
ed with it that he kind of begin to git
accustummed to it, as you might say.
Be that as it may, Yves he come home
about dusk, and by this time he had
forgot all about the skunk until he
walked into the house, but when his
wife, Mirandy, got = Whit of him she
diddent take time to tell him to git out
en- the house, but grabbed up the floor
mop and hit him crack with it on top
the head, and Yves he got out without
tellin. Then Mirandy hollered to him
from the upstairs winder to not stand
on the front piazxer either, but to go
off somewheres, she diddent care where,
and to sleep in the barn if he wanted
that all smelt mp, being as It was his
barn and she didn't have no jurisdick-
shion over it.
Later Mifandy TUX Wesse's supper out
and set it on stump back of the wood
shed and hollered to Yves, who was
brooding over his sorrers in the barn,
to come and git his supper, but to wait
until she got back into the house agin
Yves, he waited too long when he went
to git his supper his hound dog. Rover,
had ct most Of the supper. and all Yves
got that night was what was left. Yves
kicked Rover until be like to Of broke

ABOUTfRANCHISE

Tine bilf for the extension of the
Rapid Transit ,CompaRy's franchise
which now is pending in Congress was
briefly brought into a meeting of the
board of directors OF the Chamber OF
Commerce of Honolulu yesterday ait
ernOon.
What shall the Chamber Of Com
merce do about IT." was the QUESTION
asked by S. s. PaxsOn, chairman OF
the chambers public utilities conImis
SIGN. who doubtless had in mind the
recent letter of the governor, in Which
that executive stated that he WON'T
not favor the extension.
Acting President Wallace II Far
ringtCn called for discussion. None
OF the directors had anything to saw
in the matter. Chairman Paxson eN-
planned that, when the extension of
the franchise first came up, which was
prior to the y amalgamatiOn 81 the
chamber and the merchants asSOCia
ton, the matter had been called To the
attention of these organizations. The
association, said Mr.. Pax
son, took the matter up vigorously,
but the chamber went on record as
not caring TO go into a proposition
which might cause some friction. and
for this reason no final action was
taken by the chamber.
Mr.. Parsons statement brought the
matter to an end 1t still is in The
hands Of the utilities commission,
however
