Blaine Has Favorable
Record as Councilman

E. L. Blaine, now candidate for
The city council, has a long and fav
orable record as public official
during twelve years service. In vot-
ing for or against various measures,
Blaine points out that his best
thought was given to every matter
under consideration, without thought
of political outlook. His courage in
these matters prevented him from
being swayed from the lines of duty,
despite the lobby present.
He has always given courteous at
tention to all-comers, is always toll
Grant of the opinion of others, and
policy of economy in municipal ex-
has always been committed to a
penditures.
His record in support of the public
utilities is an enviable one, and most
careful attention to the intricate fl
nancial problems of these great util-
tiles has had his best service.
Long a student of municipal af-
fairs, he has always been regarded
by the thoughtful as one of the most
able men ever to sit in the city coun-
ell. His proposal of the erection OF
sinking funds for the retirement OF
bonds at their maturities and the in
vestment of such funds in interest
bearing securities has saved the tax.

opinions relating to city affairs, ant

~ GOVERNORS
1T CONCLAVE

RIG HMOND, Va, April Is
(T.N.S) National politics unoffi-
cially held the center of the
stage as the twenty-fourth annual
conference of governors got under
way today.
While political subjects have
been barred from the official pro-
gram for the four-day session,
presidential candidates and party
platforms we're almost the sole
topic of conversation as the chief
executives of some 80 States con.
ferred informally in hotel rooms.
Officially the conference sub
jects were limited to taxation,
unemployment, municip al eX-
penditures, banking, motor safety,
and extension of State operation
of highways.
Political bees started buzzing
upon the arrival of Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, of New York, and
Gov. Albert c. Ritchie, of Mary
land.
Two governors, Harry w. Wood
ring, of Kansas. and George
White, of Ohio. who have been
mentioned as possible vice-pres-
idential candidates in the event
Roosevelt is nominated for the
presidency, gave the conference
an added political atmosphere.
Governor Roosevelt was &C
companied from Washington by
Senator Alvin w. Barley, of
Kentucky, Democratic "keynoter. :"

Dr.. Cation Takes Stand To-
day; Case to Jury Wednes-
day, Likely

HONOLULU, T. H., April 25
(I.N.S.). -One State alienist
aided instead Of hurt the cause
of Lieut.. Thomas II. Massie,
Chief Defense Counsel Clarence
Darrow revealed to Interna-
tional News Service today as
the " honor Staying " trial
swung into it's fourth and final
week.
The fact that DR.. Paul Bowers,
despite contending that Lieuten-
ant Massie was sane when the
shot was fired killing Joseph Ka-
hahawai, admitted that the attack
on Mrs. Thalia Massie and the sub
sequent whispering campaign"
preyed on the young officers mind
was cited by Darrow as he fin
.ished work on his arguments to
the polyglot jury.

ed, and opposing counsel will i'm
medlately launch into a dispute
over instructions to the jury, into
whose hands tn case probably
will be placed by Wednesday.
Kelley said:
Il have no more to offer after
DIR. Cation finishes. MY case is
complete"
Darrow, declaring that he is
anxious to end the nervous ven-
sion of the trial, indicated he lid
not care to cross-examine DR.. Cat
ton unless it was absolutely neces-
Sary. He said:
I'VE know what DIR. Cation is
going to say, what is the use
of wasting time. How can
anyone determine the state of
mind of a person three and ?
half months ago from just a
reading of the trial record,
that's silly!
ut would have been silly,
too, to have played into the
hands of The prosecution in per-
uniting its alieniStS to examine
Lieutenant MasSie, who is sane
now, but wasn't at the time of
the killing.
Can you imagine anyone be-
ing in his right mind after
what that young fellow went
thrOugh?"
After considerable legal re.
search over the weekend, oppos-
ing counsel were ready with their
arguments over the jury instruc-
tons.
Judge Is Puzzled
The Paramount defense request
will be that Judge Charles S.
Davis advise the jury that if it
finds Lieutenant Massie insane, it
must also exonerate the code
PENDANTS. The judge is admitted
ly puzzled because there seems to
be no precedent for such a re-
quest.
Prosecutor Kelley would instruct
the jurors that they can use the
insanity defense only in mitiga'
ton of the degree of guilt.
Another legal issue involves
the question whether the abduc.
ton of Kahahawai was kidnapping,
a felony, or only forcible deten-
ton, a miSdemeanor
If the killing occurred during
the commission of a felony, Kelly
cont ends all defendants are
legally responsible.
