SAY BOURBONS TO
FIGHT BOND ISSUE

Whether the Democrats, as party,
viii oppose the issuance of bonds for
proposed sewer and water improve
ments at the plebiscite already called
by the supervisors, probably will come
up for discussion at a meeting this
evening of the members Of the terri
torial central committee.
The proposed bond issue, which
was a feature of the last election, but
which was lost, not by majority but
by percentage, is said to have been
bitterly attacked by the Bourbons, and
there is talk in political circles that
this attack. will be renewed at the
coming plebiscite.
Prof w A Bryan, chairman Of the
committee, and L. l.. McCandless,
leader of the party, today asserteu
that they have heard nothing regard
ing the purported attack, nor do they
know whether it will be taken up at
tonight's conference.

This is one of several forceful ex-

from DR.. Charles F. Dole, the distin-

in the Wilhelmina with Mrs. Dole to
visit their son, James d. Dole, here.
AS pacifist of fenown the doctor
was deeply disappointed that England
and her allies have so completely dis
regarded Germany's step as the press
dispatches of yesterday indicated. -.
"The least the Allies might have
done" he says, would have been to
ask Germany what she had to propose.
Instead, they apparently did not try 10

peace arrangements. ~. F.. -. +

BY c. :. ALBERT

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10.-The
fight for prohibition in Hawaii and
the District of Columbia started of
like house afire" The major move
ment got under way before Congress
was q week old. In fact 1t seemed
difficult to restrain the advance guard
until the opening day and the presi-
dents address were out of the way
The fifth day of the session saw the
senate buisly engaged in discussing al
forms of wetness and dryness.
1t is self-evident there will be nc
let-up in the fight until March 4.
There must either be legislation or q
RAod reason for postponing it. Notice
sbeady has been served on the house
anat If fair and square record vote is
refused by the leaders over there pro
hibition will be offered as an amend
ment to the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill.
1t is accepted as certain that pro-
hibition will prevail, so far as this city
and Hawaii are concerned, If a decis-
i've vote is reached. For that reason
The opponents will devote all of theil
energies to preventing such a vote.
Various plans already are under con-
sideration. The referendum is the one
most highly favored. It is urged that
the citizenship of the affected terri
tory be allowed to express their pref
erences in the matter. This at least
would mean delay Senator Under
wood is strongly urging that this be
done.
Senator Sheppard, as heretofore, is
leading the fight for prohibition. He
is determined to win If possible at this
session. In such an event he will
bring up next year the struggle for
nationwide legislation to eliminate
Ium. He believes the capital city and
Hawaii can be made dry before the
4th of March rolls around. All those
who think the same way are standing
right behind him.
Present indications are that the
fight will be pretty and lively one
II will rage up and down during the
ensuing three months. Whenever an
opportunity is presented the subject
will be brought forth for discussion
Whenever there is a lull pressure will
be brought to have a decisive vote
taken.
