Digest of Rough Brief Midi by the
Secretary in Reaching Decision
Recently Made Quotes from
. Many Ruling.
Henry E. Cooper, Secretary of the.
Territory, was asked If he had any
reply to make to the criticisms of his
declared Intention of keeping1 polls
open where necessary after 5 o'clock
Thi Secretary said that while Homo
of the citations made by tho KepublM
can were conclusive as to the particular
cases, the authorities on the general
question wereialmost entirely the other
way. ''..' ,
"I think It hardly right," Mr. Cooper
said, "for papers .1 attack their ow.
side before'tbe'y have become thorough
Jy Informed on the subject. I have
some notes here for a brief, which you
can have If you care to publish them?
Tho Secretary handed the reporter
.his rough notes, from which the fol
low lug. passages are takenj
From C American and English En
cyclopedia 322: "If tho polls are kept
open lifter the proper hours to permit
legal voters to vote when there was not
.time enough rto receive all he votes
within the proper Hours, and no Il
legal votes are taken, It ynild seem
as though all the -votes should befeouu:
ed, and ,lt has-been held that the re
quirement to'close at sunset ls-Hllrec-tory
only."
From the same volume, 32S:
"Constitutional and statutory provis
ions for the conduct of elections are
either mandatory or directory, and a
violation of mandatory provisions will
avoid the election without regard to
tho motion of the person-guilty of tho
violation, and without Inquiring Into
the effect of the result of the election,
but In case If directory provisions thn
election will not be set aside unless tho
disregard of the provisions has been
produced lnthe result of, the election.
When the election Is fair andi honest
courts will not disfranchise the voteis
unless compelled to do so by the per
emptory requirements of tholaw.
"Directory provisions are such a are
not of the essence of tho election, but
nro enacted as a guide to the officers of
the election. Ab to when requirements
aro mandatory and what are nterely
directory tho cases are not till In agree
ment, and It may bo difficult in some
cases to determine from the authori
ties Into what class a provision falls.
but It may be said that tho tendency of
the courts nnd also of legislative bod'
les Is not to hold a provision mandn.
tury unless It Is clearly of such a chir.
actcr that Its violation will tend to
prevent a correct determination of the
result of the election, unless It Is de
clared In the law that Its violation
shall render tho election void. This
Is true oven if the language. Is prohi
bitory as to offices, or everi""lf Its vlo.
latlon may subject the offending offi
cers to penal liability.

aiding and abottlng and being privy to
the solicitation of two Japanese girls
for unlawful sexual Intercourse. The
prosecution was represented by Deputy
Sheriff Chlllingworth and Attorney

Tho evidence was dead against the
defendant. The two girls told a
straight story. They were taken from
a plantation on Maul, brougtlt to Hono

work as cooks and then taken to Toki

pelled to become prostitutes nnd the

This Is the first appeal taken from

appellant to fix Its bond for staying

tained If the court had anything more
to do with tho case. There Is no Fed

Kallamal, one of the big guns of the

saatcments, he made- the following:
"The Republicans aro offering $10
npleco for your votes. Now, In order
to counteract this Influence, tho Home
Rule barty will offer you $50 (laughter
on all sides.) This offer will hold go d
up to 10 o'clock on election day-and
from that hour until 2 p. m. the sun
will be reduced to $30."
The Independent!, held another big
meeting on Brewer's wharf at .the noon
hour today. Messrs. Wilcox and Moil
man were th eprlnclpal speakers. Wil
cox's speech was very much the same
as tho ono of yesterday. v Ho said
among other things, that the Home
Rule party was tho only ono looking
toward tho good of tho people. This
party was made up of poor people and
would therefore support 'the poor pto
plo. The speaker also referred to Sam
uel Parker and put on his shoulders thn
responsibility tho overthrow of the
monarchy. If ho had been In tho same
position, the llfeblood of every Hawa
ilan would have been spilled beforo he
would have surrendered. The Demo

CITIZENS POLITICAL FORECAST
Editor Evening Bulletin: As It Is
well known that your columns nro al
ways open to those desiring to air their
political opinions, whatever may bo
the complexion, I make bold to ask a
little of your space In today's lssu".
If my political observations are cor
rect we have got into considerable of
mess with three parties In the field and
not ono of tho tickets having good
4-nough men on them to be voted
straight In saying this I believe I am
voicing the sentiments of the majority
of the people, not only In Honolulu hut
all over the lBlands. Tho Territory
Is too young yet for party politics to
be religiously adhered to as In manr
parts of tho United States mid to tell
the truth I do not believe they ever
will bo. Certain It is that In tho com
ing election there will he very few-
straight tickets voted. No one would
dare bet upon what tho complexion of
tho next Legislature will be. At least
this Is my Idea of the concensus of pub
lic opinion after talking with a great
many people both natlvo Hawnllniri
and whites of Hawaiian birth and
mallhlnls.
Tho Republicans are preaching the
straight ticket when they must know
that It is Impossible, to win. The Deni
ocrnts are wiser and recognize that
there must bo a split and at" looking
out for what they can get out o,f It
Thn Independents mi the other hand

party. It Is a question of good
men Into the Legislature who will gle
us good laws? It Is nut a question, of
men who know what we want and
know how to go about getting It In e.
businesslike way.
Every sensible, man recognizes that
more than one-half of tho vote In the
coming election will be scratched tick
ets. If so, why not guide the split ns
much as possible for the good of tho
entire people. A citizens' "committee,
of Independent men should et together

Is a foregone conclusion that there Is a
