BOURBONS TO HOLD
THEIR RALLY SOON
Professor Bryan Will Not Be Can
didate This Year For Any
Elective Office

The first Democratic demOnstratiO,
IN the forthcoming political campaigr
ls set for Saturday evening, August ~
when all loyal Bourbons are expecteC
t" don their most impressive RECALL,
and join in n big rally and ratification
! meeting at Aala Park. The date anC
preliminary Arrangements were agreet
upon at n meeting last night in thu
office of National Committeeman JohI
Ii. Wilson.
At that session. held in Pauahi stree
and presided over by Prof. W. A
Bryan, chairman of the territorial cen
trial committee, the following commit
tee of three was appointed to assume
charge of the rally, which will be the
first gun of the primary campaign: II
Crabbe, chairman; J. II. Wilson and
Frank Almeida.
Bryan Not q Candidate
One interesting feature of the meet
ing was Professor Bryan's announce.
ment that he will not be in the lists as
candidate for any elective Office this
year, notwithstanding numerous re.
ports to the contrary. One reason for
the abstinence, he said, is that he is n
territorial official and as such cannot
legally be a candidate.
The session was unqualiiedly har.
moniOus; there can be no question on
that point, despite the fact that one
Hawaiian member late in the discus
sion arose and asserted the opinion
that the territorial party is not har-
monious. This individual offered a
mggestiOn that the central committee
seriously "cOnsider the condition of
the party"
But he was laughed to scOrn. NJ. c.
Pacheco sarcastically inquired whether
the speaker would advise suryical
treatment, while another Bourbon de-
ciared that the gentleman who had
made the suggestion was himself out
OF order. The subject was permitted
to rest at that point.
More Central COMM .teemen
Chairman Bryan appointed eleven
additional members to the central com.
nnttee, representing the islands of Ha-
wan and Kauai, thus bringing the total
number of committeeman TO thirty, the
hgure required of each political party
by law. The appointees are to be ad
V'sed by mail 1t is thought all will
accept, and the complete list of com
will be announced a week or
ten days hence
Announcement also was made that
the party organization in Oahu appar-
entity is IN good condition, considering
the early season of the year, all save
three precincts having their local or
CARNATIONS perfected and ready for
business.
Seven Democrats announced their
ca ndlda last night for nomination at
the primaries. These are Frank Bene.
vides, candidate for representative
from the fifth district; W. p. St. Clair,
Jesse Cluihi, A. +. LiIiuokalani and c.
A. Alameda, for representative from
the fourth; W. f. Miles, for represent
alive from the fifth, and Gabriel Kc-
for senator.

FAR-REACHrNG EVIL

Now, my friends, / call attention To
that not alone because 1t is contra
diction to the platform, but l call at
tention to it because 1t is distinctly an
evil of the most far-reaching conse-
quences to the American people. Take
for instance, as an illustration, the
Underwood bill again.
Twenty-nine Senators of the
Senate of the United States, under
this system, can frame a law to
be put through the Congress of
the United States, or through the
Senate of the United States.
Fifty-six members constitute the
majority side of the chamber. Fifty
six go into caucus; twenty-nine may be
in favor of the bill, and the twenty
nine can bind the others, by resolution,
and thereafter come out in the open
Senate with the bill framed and COM
pei the fifty-six to vote in favor of 1t
and pass it through the Senate. So it
is reduced to that proposition where
twenty-nine men can, where twenty
nine men have framed important legis-
lation and put it through the Senate
of the United States.
Mr.. Hughes has referred to the fact
that all the chairmen of these different
committees are from the South, and
he is charged with raising a sectional
question. Not at all. We are simply
reciting a fact--a fact If there is any
sectionalism, we didn't put 1T there.
1t Is in the record, but that is not the
worst of it. Not only are they in pos
session of the chairmanships. to which |
they might have legitimate claim un- |
der the rule of seniority, but the six
teen southern states can absolutely !
control legislation in the Senate of the |
United States under that system. Look |
at the Underwood bill amendment ! |
say. There is not product from the
agricultural fields of the South which |
Is affected by the tariff at all which |
has not a sufficient duty to protect it. |
Every product from the southern fields
hat the tariff could in any way affect
mas. under the Underwood bill, which
was supposed to be tariff revenue |

1t had a tendency to fix the question
of wage. 1t had a tendency to de-
termine the amount of prosperity
which we should have. 1t had for It's
purpose the raising of revenue with
which to run the government IL was
a bill, in other words, whether you be-
lieve in 1t or disbelieve in 1t, 1t was
of such a nature as to touch for veal
or woe the interests or welfare of one
hundred millions of people. Now there
was lust one isolated amendment, one
lonesome amendment offered to that
bill. without the consent of the caucus,
upon the Democratic side during us
process and progress through the Sen
ate of the United States. A disun-
guished Democratic Senator conceived
the idea of annihilating the trusts by
q system of taxation. He provided an
amendment to that effect He believed
that he could destroy the tobacco trust
the Standard Oil trust, ETC., by a sys-
tenn of graduated taxation. He went
before this caucus and asked permls-
sion of the caucus to oHer an amend
ment to the bill upon the floor OF the
Senate of the United States, where the
Constitution gave him that power and
no power on earth could take 1t away
from him, and not only the Constitu-
ton gave 1t to him, but the trainers
of the Constitution contemplated that
any man who had proper regard TOT
his duties as representative Wouid
never yield to the right to offer an
amendment to perfect a bill in the
interests Of his constituency. Let me
see what he says-because / am ex-
planning this, and / will show you In
a few minutes why | am Interested III
this system of legislation and why you
are interested in it, for many things
can be done under this system OF les1s-
lation which can not be possibly done
out in the open. The Senator says:
Now this Is the first amendment that
has been proposed to this measure up
on thu mocratic side: Senators
here were elected to the Senate, not
TO q caucus" He seems to be behind
the times. He does not appreciate
how new freedom works when 1t Is IN
action. And 1t Is In the interest OF
the public welfare that great questions
Of this sort be debated in public and
decided in public" Notice how care
fully he was following the platform

against competition. Now I am glaC
of that so far as the South is con
cerned. I am exceedingly glad tina
they have their products protected

southern people than 1 do, but I OBJ
ject to the system of legislation, and
the manner by which it can be accom-
plished where the products of the
South can be protected and leave ex-
posed to competition from all the
world every product which grows in
the northern fields. (Applause.)
For instance, they put duty
upon rice. John Sharp Williams,
the brilliant Senator from Missis-
sfppi, man of extraordinary in
tellectual power and intellectual
integrity, stated upon the floor of
the Senate that they had reduced
the duty upon rice as low as they
could without destroying the In
dustry. That is Republicanism.
That is Republicanism protection.
No Republican wants more duty
than to protect the industry. He
does want sufficient to protect the
industry, so that they put duty
upon rice to protect the industry
and they took it off of wheat, off
OI COlIi, Oil OIL nay, anu every OlA
er product which grows in our
fields. When the attention ST the
Senator was called to the fact
that he had left the corn grower
of the North exposed. he ridiculed
US very successfully, because he is
capable of doing those things. and
he says: Does the Senators
think any corn will ever be inn
ported into the United States?
We are exporting corn. What
about rice" and yet within six
months after the Underwood bill
was passed more than 500 mil
lions Of bushels Of corn had been
imported into this country. and
sold in competition to the Ameri-
can farmer.
Take another illustration, wool
and aAgora goat hair, which are
used often times for the same pur-
pose in the manufacturing of GER
tain articles. and they have come
down through the centuries side
by side on the tariff bills with
practically the same duty. but
they have separated these old
friends and put a duty upon an
CORA goat hair. which Is grown
largely In Texas, and took the
duty of of wool, which is grown
in the North.
Now, my friends. repeat that am
glad that the South is de-
clipping Its great resources. and that
has these duties. but q system of
sgislation which enables twenty nine

legislation? Let me read further; he
says: 81 deem 1t my duty neverthe-
less to embody in the permanent rec
ord of the country for the benefit of
my constituency and the people at
large my serious objections to this
bill" and then he proceeds to do so.
Just what benefit his constituency
would derive from knowing how bad
the bill was which was passed by his
vote is one of the mysteries of legis-
lation. Then he concludes by saying:
81 want to say to the Committee and
the country that when I vote for this
bill it will be a sacrifice l make for
the Democratic party, because this bill
in many respects fails to meet my con-
ception of the fundamental principles
of good government, and in my judg-
ment is dangerous to the country"

Position Made Clear.

Paris. July S.-The French govern
ment, following the example Of Great
Britain, has abandoned the declara-
tion Of London as an Interpretation OF
maritime law. A decree to that effect
appears in the mornings official
journal!
memorandum says that the rules
of the London declaration We're
adopted at the beginning Of the war
as being the most expedient but that
experience has shown that they did
not give the results expected. Conse-
quently, circumstances obliged the
allies to modify the rules OF the
declaration. But these successive
notifications led to false interpreta-
tions Of the allies motives, therefore it
was decided better to return to the
original rules Of international law as
generally accepted.
In so doing, the allies declare
solemnly they will observe the rules
rigidly to respect the lives and prop
erty Of neutrals and be ready to pay
for any damage done.
