THUMBS DOWN FOR SILK STOCKING.
PRECNCBN C0MMlTTEE naming

the election of Berndt, the other
side" then went down the line for the
men they wanted
AS it happened, what occurred was
funny to the spectators. After the
delegations had caucused and named
their committeeman, the committee
men got together to elect their Off
GERS. Berndt was named quickly anu
elected unanimously. Then came the
election of vice-president BY some
mischance Gerrit Wilder was nom
mated. 1t looked like a slip but they
were voting fast and he was duly
elected. Then Chairman Berndt called
for the election Of treasurer. The
committee faces went blank, and it
dawned on some of them that Wilder
was the man for treasurer. They
glanced over the committee for some
one else who looked like likely man
for. this position Of trust, but didn't
find him. So Immediately the majority
of the committee reversed its action,
reconsidered Wilder's election as vice
chairman and named Harry Murray as
vice chairman and Wilder as treas
urer. Charles A. Rice declared that
the committee couldn't legally do this
that Wilder must resign first, hav-
ing been formally elected. But Wilder
couldn't resign, since he had gone to
Maui last evening on important busi.
ness. Anyway, the majority of the
committee, advised by Rev. S. l..
Deshal OVERRIDE Rice's objections.
Members of the committee were told
last night that Chairman Berndt will
be absent on the mainland through
out October and the first week in No
vember-the crucial point of the cam
paign. Harry Murray will be vice
chairman then and logically will be
manager of the campaign.

Harry Murray May Be Actual
Manager of the Fall
Campaign

A political combination headed by
Harry Murray, city water superintend-
ent, is credited with handling the
election Of territorial Republican com
mittees last night so deity that Muir
ray is likely to be the actual manager
of the fall campaign.
Likewise, 1t was thumbs down" for
the delegates from the silk stocking"
precincts of the Fourth District, while
Alfred w. Games, progressive young
Republican of the Fifth District, had
a similar taste of defeat.
When the various delegations from
representative districts got together
just before the close of the conven-
ton to elect their respective central
committeeman and executive commit
teemen, it was soon seen that most
of the elections were cut and dried.
Raymond c. Brown, who had worked
with the Murray bunch on several
hard-fought planks, was dumped when
1t came to distributing honors in COM
mittee places. There were six Fourth
District places to fill and seven can
didates. About thirty straight" ball
lots showed up with Brown left off,
and he ran a bad seventh. He got
something like seven votes. HIS
friends declared afterward that he
had been coolly dumped. Gerrit VII
der was elected, but it turned out
afterward that he was the, man
wanted for treasurer of the party.
AL hands had united upon Emil A.
Berndt for chairman. The politicians

London, Sept. 29.-In many quarters
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollwegs
speech is considered essentially bid
for mediation by America or some
other neutral power. 0utwardly his
review seems intended to arouse AMI
invigorste the dropping spirits of the
German people, who have grown es-
pecially war weary since the success
Of the Somme offensive, but it is
prompted fundamentally by the be-
lief tho time Is opportune to wave the
peace Gag.
Undoubtedly, the sentiments eI-
pressed by Lloyd George came as no
surprise to the Chancellor. He see. q
chance for Germany to gain capital in
the eyes Of neutrals if he could induce
America to offer mediation and have it
spurned by the Allies, as it would be.
Then he would cry greed" TO the
neutral world, and tell the Germans
they had 70 choose between absolute
ruin and defence TO the last. Thus he
might embarrass the Allies and
strengthen his own creaking machine.
Gerard Can Advise Wilson.
When Ambassador James ". Gerard
reaches Washington he can give the
President first-hand information about
the whole German situation, Wilson
having already learned through Am
