Through error in the transmission of wireless
message from Hilo last Saturday, it was made to
appear that William Thompson, chairman of the
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce committee on
municipal affairs, objected to increasing the tax
rate to provide revenue for public improvement.
This is exactly the opposite of Mr.. Thompsons posi-
ton, which clearly outlined at Hilo He OPP
posed the conventions going record for issuing
bonds for highway improvements and advocated,

Juanita, the Kansas Giantess, was left behind at
Hilo when the conventionites came back Under the
influence Of the Hilo climate, long famous for it's
stimulation to growth, Juanita had so expanded in
general measurement, both the linear foot and the
tonnage that return passage was refused her. This
is one explanation of her failure to come home.
Another is that she committed suicide just before
the steamer left, torn, between an old and new
love. +:

More voters than ever before in Honolulu and the
islands in general looking for efficiency in office
rather than party labels The labels some of the
candidates are more than "a scrap of paper any
way. What Hawaii wants is officials who can get IL
full measure of work out of the public employees and
give full measure for themselves. This is some
thing to think over in the territorial campaign now
opening.

MATTER OF RECORD

The record OF Chas. f. Hughes az a
public official is not one that can be en-
dorsed by the middle class and the hum
BILE wage-earners of this country. Every
official act of his has been in the interest
OF the classes against the masses. As
governor he vetoed the two-cent steam
railway car fare; the three cent electrical
street car fare, and sent a special message
to the New York Legislature urging il to
not ratify the income tax amendment
As judge Of the supreme court he helped
10 place the Virginia debt upon the peo-
pie of West Virginia, and he helped the
DanburY hatters' boycott, which made
the employees Of Daniel Loew & Company
homeless.
1t is noteworthy that the Republican
press has never as much as intimated that
Hughes has ever done one thing as a pri-
vate citizen or public official that would
indicate he was friend of the common
people. His every private and official
act has been that of the defender and
advocate Of the special interests of the
country. Such is the history OF the man
who criticises President Wilson's public
acts, but he dares not publicly proclaim
that he would not have carried out the
Presidents policies relative to the En.
ropean and Mexican wars had he been
President. Deep down in his heart me
knows the American people endorse them.

WHO LIED IN feo47

During the campaign OF 1904 the Re-
publican press and stump speakers told
the taxpayers that the charge il the Re-
publicans were successful in electing their
state ticket at the general election that
taxation would be increased that the
Virginia debt would be placed upon West
Virginia, and they would build MP such
political machine that nothing short Of
revolution would dislodge it, was
purely Democratic campaign lies" As
John j. Cornwell was the man who pre-
ferred the charge against the Republican
machine, we ask the honest voters of
this state who was it that lied to them,
the Republican machine or Mr.. Cornwell?
No one who has any regard for honor or
truth but must admit that it was the
Republican machine that lied to the
voters in 1901. Twelve years later John
Cornwell comes before the voters as a
candidate for governor. Are the voters
going to turn him down and vote for the
machine that lied to them i'm 1904? We
are satisfied they will not. Had Mr..
John Cornwell been placed in the guber-
material chair in 1904 (Which he was
fraudulentlY cheated out of by the ma.
chine) the state would not today be suf-
fering from Hatfeldism. A failure in
1916 to elect Mr.. Cornwell governor
means further burden OF taxation upon
the people and an enlargement OF the
corrupt state house machine by the crea-
ton OF useless and unnecessary public
offices.
We would kindly ask the taxpayer who
reads this to get his tax receipt ofl9OI
and compare it with his tax receipt of
1915. After he has done this, then let
him recall that it was John Cornwell who
told him in 1904 that this increase would
follow just as surely as they elected the
Republican ticket and legislature. We
would further request for the taxpayer to
do little figuring on what his tax ticket
will be when we begin to pay the Vir-
ginia debt. If it don't double his tax
ticket we are willing to accept the odium
OF false prophet and without honor.
But We are not afraid that this odium
will be cast upon us. We know from
sad experience that the tax ticket has
been advancing by leaps and bounds
under the machine, and will continue to
do go.

His friends are urging his election
upon a record of faithfulness and
achievement. Here are some OF the
many reasons for his reelection:
LIST. He has a commanding position
on the great Judiciary committee. No
new Senator can get this position If
Senator Chiffon be defeated. Before
this committee goes all constitutional
questions and changes OF the federal
code. II was his influence on this
committee which secured a favorable
report on the bill to allow West Vir.
ginia TO sue for her interest i'm the
Northwest Territory trust The Uni
ted States owes West Virginia about
fifteen million dollars Chiffon found
the way to get it. He is where we
need his services. He is a power on
the committee which must handle that
question. Shall we throw away the
immense advantage which he has
gained by work and seniority? Why
should West Virginia be asked to sur
render point OF advantage for moth
ing but partisan politics? Think about
II.
End. Chiffon led the fight for the
Clayton bill which freed business and
labor.
Srd. He supported the good roads,
the currency. the farmers credit, the
shipping, the child labor, the trade
commission and the tariff commission
bills.

oIsAPPRovED BY THE RECORD

The Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks
in accepting the nomination for vice
president said, among other things:
1t (the Republican party has been
pledge making and a pledge-redeemin
party. To keep faith with the people
has been its supreme DESIRE"
Those who are familiar with the history
OF the Republican party will agree with
Mr.. Fairbanks that it has always been a
"pledge-making" party. For over fifty
odd years it pledged itself in its platforms
to give the people a new banking law
the parcel post; the rural credit; the
child labor; q e trade commission; the
tariff commission; the election OF United
States senators by the direct vote of the
people and the anti-injunction law, every
one OF which it failed to redeem. Within
three years after the Democratic party
came into power EVERY ONE OF the
above Republican platform pledges were
enacted into law and placed upon the
statute books by the Democratic party.
And ii the Republican party were to
come into power tomorrow it would not
dare TO repeal one Of them. The Repub-
Leans are long on pledges, but woefulIy
short on redeeming.
In 1903 it pledged itself to revise the
tariff, but the revision was upward in
stead Of downward, which resulted in
the ignominious defeat Of William How
ard Taft, who approved the ubiquitous
Payne-Aldricb tariff bill. This is the
rock upon which the old party split--its
failure to redeem Its tariff pledge.
8r. Fairbanks claim 10 pledge
redeeming' and the record Of his party
are sadly out Of joint. He cannot quote
from the records aud make good his
claim in one instance. On the contrary,
u has been the party Of unbroken pledges.
not only nationally, but state. For the
pact twenty years the Republican party
has been promising and pledging the
people Of West Virginia reform and re-
trenchment. Can any one point 10
wherein il has ever redeemed one pledge
or PROMISE Each succeeding state adj
ministration became more extravagant.
The Hatfield administration will prove
the most extravagant in The history Of
the state. That's Why the people have
Jolly decided 20 make a change.

YEAR OF SALVATION

This is not political year in West
This is the year that the taxpayers must
be SAVED from Hatfeldism. Let no
one be deceived by the claim that Judge
Robinson is bigger than the state house
machine. He is merely the candidate OF
the machine. II he is elected he will be
the governor OF the machine. He would
not dare to 90 counter to Its dictation.
Why, you ask? Let us apply reason and
Has the creature ever been able to defy
the creator2 Will any one deny that
Robinson does not owe his nomination 10
the machine? Can it be truthiully said
that Robinson secured more votes in the
primary election than Lilly? On the
morning OF the election the Hatfield
organs claimed that Robinson would have
anywhere from fifteen to thirty thousand
majority over Lilly. Each succeeding
day they kept dropping down until they
claimed but one to two hundred ma
jority. But Lilly and his followers
claimed a majority for Lilly, and declared
that the frauds committed in Mcdowell
county would be fully exposed and Lilly's
majority established. A recount was
called for in Mcdowell. In the early
stage fraud and corruption were I'M
earthed. Suddenly the recount was
stopped and the press began to tell oil
meetings in New York city between the
house OF Hatfield and the house of Lilly.
The next announcement was that Lilly
had withdrawn. This report alleged that
the Hatfield representatives promised to
defray the campaign expenses OF Lilly
and permit him to name one-half Of the
appointive offices, and in 1920 his choice
of United States senator or governor.
1t is immaterial to the taxpayers OF
West Virginia what deal was entered into
between the Hstfields and the Lillys, the
one thing that it did establish and can
not be denied is that the state house ma
chine RULES the Republican party and
names its candidates for office. And the
candidate named in this case is none
other than Ira L. Robinson. Now will
any sane and unprejudiced person be-
lieve for one moment that il Robinson is
elected he will not be under the baneful
influence and dictation of the state house
machine?
