evening TO the board Of supervisors
that n the property owners were TO
be made 70 put m sidewalks an extra
force would be necessary as his pre-
sent staff Is working to the limit Of

resolutions calling for ordinances to
establish sidewalk districts One Is
ON Nuuann street from Beretania to
Judd, and the other on King from
Richards to MeCully. and on King
street extension to It's junction with
Beretania. F.
Larsen started the movement by
demanding to know why the property
holders shouldn't be made to put In
sidewalks along King and Nunanu and
announced that he would fight Gntil
the work Is done.
Hatch agreed with Larsen and point
ed out that the board was discriminat-
ing against the property holders on
King when Il forced some to lay side
walks and allowed others not to have
them He also believes, he said, that
all other road work should stop until
the sidewalks are in. .es q
When 1t was clearly understood by
all the members that the property
owners and not the city paid for them,
the resolutions unanimously passed.

THE INDEPENDENTS.

Commenting ON the local political situation Mr..
William Thompson. in an interview published else
where today, SAYS:
sIf the progressive members of both parties, along
with the large bodS Of Independent voters get TO,
gether under strong leadership am persuaded that
they could hold the balance OF power and either
themselves nominate and elect or force their candi.
dates upon the regular parties. Y
In the Star-Buletin's opinion. Mr. Thompson
sums up the situation correctly There il not the
slightest question that hundreds. perhaps thou
sands Of voters in Honolulu would welcome an in
dependent political movement.
There is also not the slightest question that such
u movement would rush upon The rocks of disaster
if II attempted now to name full ticket and oper
ate inppposition to the two parties in the field The
Independent vote, though large for two elections
past and growing constantly, il not yet organized
and cannot perhaps be fully organized in one cam
paign. But II could either name few frstclass
candidates Of It's own and probably elect some OF
them, or secure their Endorsement by the existing
parties and assure election.
There are plenty OF reputable men in both the
existing parties who would welcome an organization
that could get higclass candidates into the field
FOR ail municipal Offices The dinculty in Honolulu
Is not primarily to elect good men, but to get good
men who viii run and who are willing enough and
broad enough and ASSURE enough to do the neces
sary political work for election Legitimate political
work
Generally speaking, under the direct primary law
about the best material which appeared as eandi
dates has been successful in tile campaigns Honolulu
is not in the habit 81 turning down its good candi
dates on the other hand, no man should come out
as candidate unless he has enough belief in the
value Of his own candidacy to get out in the cam
paign and work for his own election American gov
eminent is not run on any absentee landlord prin-
cple and that principle has no place in municipal
politics here.
Under the direct primary law the independent
voter becomes q factor group OF independent
voters becomes q power 4 group of i've hundred
men, elect determined and united could swing an
election next spring. Leadership is needed 4andI
