AT Democratic Convention and In
National Capital They, Urge
immediate Change

Down in Pauahi street, In the haven
of disgruntled Democrats, they are
thuckling over The Joyous tip which
has reached them from Washington.
Governor Pinkham is a marked man!
Judge Stuart is unseating him. .'
They are accepting the tip at its
face value, They are certain it is true,
and this is the way they size the rsitlI,
alton up: - ), NUM
franhnn X. Lane, secretary 81 the
interior, has been the strong support
and ready advocate of Governor Pink
ham, but now Mr. Lane is discouraged
with Mr.. Pikham, principally through
the failure OF the chief executive to
deliver the Hawaii delegates at the St.
Louis convention. Mr.. Lane had laid
particular stress with the Governor on
the importance of this, as Mr., Lane is
ambitious, after the manner of Mr..
Caesar, and wanted the nomination for
vice:president.
Fails To Deliver Goods
But the Governor, notwithstanding
the fmportuning, failed to deliver a
single delegate, the McCandless faction
leaving him at the post. Consequently,
| Mr.. Lane is trihe peeved and feels
! that Governor Pinkham has not lived
up to his promises, and has fallen down
in delivering the goods. -.
Judge Stuart and the McCandIess
delegates happened upon the. secretary
of the interior at the right, time, and
knocked the last planks from under the
chief executives feet They tarred
and feathered him verbally. They did
him up brown. And while all this was
| going on, silent but effective cam
paign was being launched on behalf of
Judge Stuart to make him Pinkham s
successor.
Judge Smart had long talk with
Senator Shafroth soon after the con.
veution and explained to him why he
was determined to withdraw from his
present position as Judge, and incident,
ally he opened his heart about the Gov
eruor, telling what a mess the latter
was making Of the Democratic party
here, what blundets he had made in
the homestead disputesA and what an
all-roupd failure he was as chief ex
ecutiVa.
Also Secs Senator Thomas
Judge Stuart also saw Senator Thomas
and told him about the same thing
with perhaps a few additions for good
luck.
. In the meantime the MeCandles'
delegates were getting in their strokes
They rounded up any number of con
gressmen and men in authority in thu
Democratic party, and avowed to then
that no holitical good could come OUT
4 of Hawaii so long as Mr., Pinkham wa
the chief executive, They went so fa
AS to insinuHtc change should b.
made promptly. They pointed out tina
Mr.. Pinkham was unable to handle tn,
large amount of work falling to hi
department, aud that it would be Onl,
, merciful and humane to relieve hin
sun marily. Judy" Stuart could stpl
right into the place, and no trouble
, at ALL they said
} PRuahi street has just learned tina
these Efforts Of their worthless ar
