ALOHA TO THE JAPANESE CRUISERS

Americas entrance into the great war, stanchlJ
by the side of the Entente Allies fighting for the
freedom of the world is signazed by the visit here
of the Japanese frst.class cruisers Tokiwa and va
kumo as trainingsquadron.
Until the United States went into the war, these
cruisers could not come here for free entry. They
would have been under the obligation of interna
tional law to leave in not more than "a hours Now
they are welcomed as the fighting units of great
and friendly nation, and their officers and men have
the freedom of the city. These two cruisers were
the first Allied warships to enter the Pacific ports
OF the United States.
Japan's feet has done an effective piece of patrol
ing work in the Pacific and Indian oceans Part OF
the feet is now actively in the fight against the Ger
man submarine blockade in the European war-zone
The two fine cruisers now in the port of Honolulu
are part of the assurances given by the Allies that
the ravages of the German pirates cannot with i'm
punity be extended to the Pacific.
No small part Of the welcome to the visiting Japa
nese cruisers rests in the recognition that at the
present time they guarding the sealanes of the
Pacific, they are helping to make it safe for the peo
pies around the Pacific to carry on their usual com
merce.

For Sherif-Edward Hopkins, Republican
For Auditor-James Bicknen, Republican.
For Supervisor (seven to be elected)-
Voters are earnestly advised to concentrate on
the following FIVE Republicans who led in the
primary election and who will make up a
strong, able majority Of the board:
William Ahia Charles N. Arnold, Charles
q. Bellina, Ben Holinger, z. A. Mott-smith
Four candidates, two Republicans and TWO
Democrats remain as available for consc1en-
tious and discriminating voters to pick from
Daniel Logan and w. G. Achi, Republicans;
w. II. Mcclellan and Lester Petrie, Demo-
Gratis. The situation gives the indepe3' lit
voter the voter who is not necessarily ooInc
up to a straight-ticket idea and program, an
opportunity for range of choice in selecting
the remaining two to round out the seven.
Under no circumstances should voters
scratch" any Of the first five Republicans
named above To- switch support from these
men or any of them and scatter it among the
remaining candidates, imperils the able ma
jority of the board and endangers some o. the
best men before the Honolulu public
Concentrate-and make the sound majority
safe beyond question!

they are bound to stand up for party regularity.

VOTERS. WHAT Is YOUR VERDICT?

Republican candidates. campaigners, party vet
Grams in and out of 1.-The game" are making an elev
enthhour "drive" for the straight ticket That II
now, their main issue. TO large extent they have
abandoned talking men and measures; they have
also done little in the way Of personal criticism o.
the two Democrats whose election they fear most
Petrie and Mcclellan.
They are piling on the straight-tieket talk. They
are frowning upon the right of independent judg
lnent and selection. They hold that adherence tc
the principle of party and party program is more
essential is WISER than adherence to the principle
Of selectngand voting for the best men running fol
office regardless of party.
The straightticket talk and the straight.ticket
principleno matter for which party it is advanced
-can be reduced to its fundamental bearing on the
situation today by: a very simple question: 49,.
Voters of HonoIulus3 Ard you satisfied teith thu
results of straight,tioEet politics in Honolalai
Remember, this same cry. this same slogan, this
same principle Of straight party politics have been
put up at every election, by each party. The city
governments we have had their net results in city
Improvements and in money spent, have been de-
veloped straight teketpolitics preached by both
parties. 80. So, ..s e..
Has not straightticket politics had fair trial in
Honolulu?
What is your verdict on it?
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-06-04

There are sincere believers in the straightticket
principle and no one would wish to deride or carp
anthem. If they are Democrats, they are out of luck
for the Democratic ticket, swallowed whole, would
produce some terrible results in political pathology
If they are Republicans, they have the satisfaction
of knowing that the Republican ticket contains no
impossibles, and that, in fact it is good ticket
Tie StarBuletin has never denied that the straight
Republican ticket is good ticket. The question we
have endeayored to discuss fairly with the voters of
this city is whether the best results for Honolulu
can be obtained by tying up to the straight ticket
or by exercising independent judgment and ballot
ing on that basis Both parties in the heat Of their
campaigns have plugged for their straight tickets
with large exaggeratons We think the people are
entitled to saner discussion of the issues than they
get from the party extremists.
