Honest WOrkin9men Misled
ByEnemies Of Modern Charter
w. r. harrington Points Out That Businessmen Must RaS
Voices to Tell the Truth and Answer the Arguments o
DemagogueS

The outstanding feature of last
nights hearing on the charter was tn,
very obvious fact that the homes {
workingmen are being misguided and
misinformed.
That is the whole situation in a
nutshell.
Three presidents Of the United
States, men now living, have declared
In favcr of the principles represented
in the so-calIed Chamber Of Commerce
amendments to the proposed charter
for Honolulu. These principles in the
opinion of Theodore Roosevelt, VIM.
Ia. Taft and Woodrow Wilson strength
en- che power OF government Of by
and for the people. .-.
Yet the men who vociferously ragged
against the Chamber Of Commerce am
endmentS as an assault upon free gov
ernment by the people said that they
were for popular government. The!
undoubtedly are. So are we all.
These men are misinformed. That's
all. The workingmen are being fooled
by men who can get more out OF them
by such methods. Hill
This is not surprising. No one .rom
the Chamber OF Commerce Or any OF
these organizations studying these
conditions, has ever been TO these
men. They nave operated with paid
go-betweens who are thoroughly un.
reliable.
II the businessmen really mean bus.
mess, their contest for efficient and
popular government should now really
begin. They should tell these work
ingmea the truth. And talk TO them

Division of Chairmanships Be-
tween Democrats and Re-
pubIicanS. Possible

An important forecast on the make
up and action OF the extraordinary
session of Congress next month is
given below from the columns Of the
Washington Star. II is interesting
particularly to note that the coming
Congress may be bipartisan to secure
harmony of action:
whether the house of representa-
tiyes. upon assembling at the call of
the president, is to be organized by
the Democrats, the Republicans or
through bipartisan agreement, divid-
ing the control, cannot at this time
be forecast by any man. Any one Of
the three contingencies is possible.
/ ..'Only one definite fact seems to
stand out-namely, that there will
not be long deadlock through a
balance OF power" holding out for ad-
yantageous personal terms, but that
the contest over organization will be
short. sharp and decisive, one way or
another, with admitted possibility of
patriotic sharing OF responsibilities
and honors equally divided between
the two great parties, the independ-
ents falling into places allotted to
them.
Clerk to Call House to Order
The next house will be called to or
der by the clerk of the last house. a
continuing officer, who will call the
roll from the unofficial list now in
his hands. That roster shows 215 Re-
publieans, PA Democrats. l Prohibi.
ZIONIST. / Progressive, l Progressive
Protectionist, / Socialist, lndepend-
ent and ! vacancy. ..... -.
THAT vacancy, however, is to be
filled at special election to be called
by Gov. Whitman, and a Democrat
will be returned, which will, unless
there are ether deaths meantime,
make the score 215 to 2l5, with five
Independents. The course of the In
dependents has not yet been deter
mined beyond the understanding that
the Socialist member, MIR. London of
New York. may answer present" and
not express a choice for speaker.
Republicans Plan Reorganization
The Republicans already have laid
the groundwork for reorganization in
case they should have majority to
elect a speaker and control commit
tees. A committee of 81 regulars and
Progressives will report to a Repub-
lican caucus to be held five days
prior to the announced assembling of
Congress, plan expected to be adopt
ed by the caucus as party procedure.
Under that plan the caucus will de-

Oyerflowed upon the lanais and In the
IopDy Of the capitol.
ane speakers against the Chamber
OF commerce amendments were also
well organized. As fast as one would
SIT down, up snot another.

meanwhile, INSIDE the hall, the flood
of oratory was going forward and men
in Hawaiian and English were telilng
the workIngmen that an attempt was
being made to take away the rights OF
Hawaiians, that the short ballot
charter would do for a small town, but
not for Honolulu. and similar sweeping
attacks.
Few Can Speak for charmber
The three Chamber members who
finally we're accorded a few moments
to speak, supported the proposed
Chamber amendments to the charter
as best they could In the face OF the
overwhelming opposition. The work
mgmen sent speaker after speaker ON
to the floor in an attempt to discour-
age the Oahu delegation from consid-
ering these amendments.
One drawback TO the hearing was
the inadequate arrangement TO accom-
modate the great throng. AS early as
I O'Clock a delegation OF the "opposi-
ton" voters was on hand and by B
o'clock more than 1000 persons were
present. More than 300 stevedores
marched up TO the capitol at 7:45
& clock headed by the Hawaiian Band,
but very few were able to secure seats
and even standing room was at a
premium.

John Wise suggested that the hearing
be held outside so that the speakers
Inight be heard from the capitol steps,
thus giving everyone an opportunity
TO know what was being said. Chair
man Wilder declined to accept the sug-
Gestion, however, ruling that the hear
ing had been advertised to be held III

there il would be held.
In all their talks the speakers for
the workingmen made the point that
a charter convention was once held in
Honolulu, that new city charter was
drafted at this convention, and that it
is this charter, and nothing else, that
the workingmen want the legislature
TO adopt
Either adopt this charter with a
few necessary amendments to polish il
up. or table it, shouted one speaker,
