Almost front the lieginning, certainly from the moment that -Jiooscveltistji swilpt Illinois anil J'ennsylvania, he question has (mhii not so much whether Taft r vilsoii coiiiil win as wnf th-r Koosevi It eould ptit his thinl-terin nver." ami the pictorial sim ile of the fiMithall field, with the Hull Moose Charging valiantly and vehemently at his two opponents, illustrates the aggressive spirit in wJiich5 Jloosevelt has heen f putting it over." : In the tertiis of the jrid iron, Koosevelt. is now on the five-yard line and Taft and Wilson are backed up into the shadow! of the election goal- ' - i posts, s Head on and teeth set, the doughty colo nel is hurling huuiHelf towanl the last white line that spells eletion. , Polities is a kind of game, after all, and the rwl-jloodpd Aini-ican of Whatever faith must feel an admiration, however unwillingly he ad mits it, for a man who caij play the game with Mich -consummate gcnerals1iip and such ready brawn as Hx)svelt displays. To get back to footbalHfiguns, Koosevelt is - - ail exponent of both the old'r and the "new" game. He caii hit the lfn haiil, he can skirt the ends swiftly,. aiid luvcaJiunJle.au oppfmtnt if necessary, or doilge wjtlr amazing trickery. He knows the valne of team-work, and he also knoWH when tt leave his interference lehind and dash ''boldly into the thickset nihks of the enemy.; With it all lie ; neveTj forgets the direc tioVk1noat4inff:lic''i to citss. v.

The tin crrng insight that made him , the greatest press agetit of all time found early in, the gametthat the Americaii jnople are timl of Issues more or less clouded: in abstruse technical details. He found in the. United 8tate deep social linrest, and his platf onn is yibranf jj with a pineal for a hew deal' all around.c It Is' frankh socialistic as measured by what tjieVniericau people would , jiave callel'SclalunL eight ytars ago, or four years; ago" lnt thev ido not call it socialism now.' l(H)se-elfs ainsistence that humanity lie set above, the dollar is not a new crv, but his energy; and his wonderful ability to choose the word "with the punch made that cry heard w here it never had lieen heard before, : , : And yet 4oosevelt i widely distrustHl.y Like many another leader he has. jieen ruthless in his use of means; to gain h is" end- rHc climbed to of fice on; the shoulders.of loyal party men, many, of'hom he, has since kicked from under his feet. ; During his term in the presidency he gave xinall evidence of interest in most of the meas ures he is championing today. They were ague issues then, the jcoplc. were not clamoring for reforms as they clamor now, and Koosevelt saw no profit in leing too far ahead of his times.

A word also should 1k spoken for Charles VICE PRESIDENTIAL VACANCY AND HOW IT WILL BE FILLED C,osta, the Republican iff of Honolulu. Thd nominee for deputy sher-Star-Bulletin has heard nothing to the discredit of Costa and a great ileal to his credit. He has been one of the na tional guard s most efficient officers and as cap tain of crack Company E he has shown great ability in handling men. He is not well known, particularly to the Fourth district, but he is energetic and ambitious, and those who know him are invariably for him, which is a pretty good sign that he is a worthy candidate. A GOOD RECORD TO STAND ON If there is any virtue in a candidate's stand ing on. his record, A. S. Kaleiopu should be re turned to the senate by the voters of Oahu. Senator A. F. Judd; whqjtses words of praise sparingly, served with Kaleiopu in. the senate two years ago. He says of him: 'My service with Mr. Kaleiopu in the senate gave me a great deal of respect for his ability ani conscientious adherence to dutv. He was noddy's fool. He took nobody's say-so on any measure but did his own thinking. He was one of the independent senators who voted .with full regard for what they believed were the in terests of all the people. He voted against the Fairchild land bill, and I believe he voted with me against that measure because he thought it was the1 right thing to drt in the interests of all Hawaii. It wasn't his first experience in the legislature. He had served the two previous term in: the house. The voters of thisJdistrict cant afford to let the opportunity go by to send back to the senate a native Hawaiian who has made the record Kaleiopu has made." That kind of a record, we believe, entitles a man to" favorable consideration by the voters of this senatorial district, particularly the Repub lican voters. i There are a number of young Republicans running for various offices this year who ought to be elected. Such men as A. L. Castle and E. K. Fernandez for the house, Charley Costa for the' deputy sheriffship, Clarence Cooke for the senate, Norman Watkins and William William son, Fourth district candidates, for the house, Edwin H. Paris and Charlev Arnold for the board of supervisors, are youngsters, compara tively young in politics and most of them in years, and will bring vigor and intelligence to public work. J. B. Enos, about whom little has been heard in this campaign, should be a good supervisor. He possesses solid qualities of eiti-j xenship and will have the point of view that guarantees representation for the element -of population miscalled the middle classes. These mentioned are among a long list of good men. An interesting statement on the; the voters of the United States real-vice-presidential vacancy appears be-iize that the people are not choosine i lew from a well-informed reader of I a president next Tuesday.

Sam Parker deserves rfar more serious consideration than Fern. Col. Parker would add a dignity to the office of mayor that is ut terly lacking now, and a well-known American speaker once said that a mayors' chief duty is to wear a frock coat several times a year and shake hands freely. Joking aside, the pictur esque colonel would have sound advice from a number of prominent Republicans on public Mu,t,i, Star.BolleUn Ads. are Best Bos!nes that his influence with all classes would help to solve rijrhtlv.
