NO CHANCE FOR
JUDGE DOLE, Is
ANDREWS VIEW
Thinks Vaughan Will Get Place;
Fill All Federal Vacancies
With MainIanderS III

I'VE are not going to have Judge
| Dole reappointed. Probably Horace
w. Vaughan will get the United
States district court Judgeship, said
Lorrin Andrews this morning, as he
stepped down the gangway of the
Matsonia, returning from Washington
and other eastern cities. -: -.
1T looks to me very much as If all
the vacancies in federal jobs here are
| TO be filed by the appointment of men
from the mainland" added Andrews.
When We tell them that we want
Hawaii men, people who know the
islands and conditions here, appoint
ed. they applaud heartily, and then
turn around and give mainland part.
les the appointments" ~.
Mr.. Andrews said the Honolulu
postmastership question was still I'M
settled when he left Washington. Mr.
Andrews went to Washington as
chairman of the Republican territorial
central committee from the islands,
and tried to get the next national con-
yention for Honolulu. He withdrew
his motion after there was no chance
of obtaining it for this city. n
Sentiment in official circles in
Washington is growing against send
ing mainlanders to fill federal office
in Hawaii. says C. A. Rice, Kauai sen
ator and Republican national commit
teeman for the territory. He returned
from Washington today, accompanied
by Mrs, Rice. ....... .....=:- III. ~.
They are feeling more and more
strongly that local choices should be
made" he said. Possibly the next
district attorney will be local man.
He heard reports in the capital that
Judge Dole would not be reappointed
and that Horace w. Vaughan, tempo
rary district attorney, might succeed
to the federal judgeship
The visit of the congressional par
ty here has impressed on Washington
folks the fact that appointments to
office here should be made from
among residents" he says. j. ....~

That there may be considerable
foundation to a report that he is to be
appointed district attorney to succeed
jeff McCarn, was the statement made |
today by Horace w. Vaughan, who has
been acting as temporary district at |
torney since the departure of the Ten
nessean. = II. ..*=@
Il think that the department of JUS
tice needs me as district attorney
here" Mr.. Vaughan said, "and there |
fore / have reason to believe that III
will be appointed" .-...
Mr.. Vaughan added, however. that
as yet, he has had no information
from Washington, D. c., on the sub |
ject. His statement regarding the dis
trict attorneyship tended to quiet the |
persistent rumor to the effect that he |
was to be appointed to succeed Judge |
Sanford B. Dole on the local federal |
bench. -: ~.
Asked regarding, who his assistant
would be in case he is appointed, Mr..
Vaughan said:
Il will appoint a man who will be T
entirely acceptable to the people of
the islands"
indications now are that C.. @. Bit |
ting will be assistant district attorney
If Vaughan is appointed permanently. /
Mr. Biting has been assisting Mr..
without pay, since the latter
temporarily assumed the duties of dis
trict attorney.
Fight to Last Fitch.
The score or more of habeas corpus
cases which now are pending in the
local U. S. district court are to be
fought to the last ditch" by Mr..
Vaughan. If case is lost by the gov
eminent during the cleanup" it i'm
mediately will be appealed to the
court of appeals of the ninth circuit
in California. ...s.. ..:.. =. +.
In giving out the foregoing informa-
ton today, District Attorney Waugh
an intimated that his office does not II
intend to dismiss any of the cases
brought by persons who have been de-
tanned at the federal immigration sta
