This is 'the dato for meetings of the
Itepnblican precinct clubs throughout
vthe Terxllbry, for the purpose of no-
linattng candidates for delegates to a
territorial convention, which is to
meet on Monday, Apr'l 15, for the pur
pose of electing six d 'egates and six
Alternate delegates to the Republican
National Convention to be held In Chi
cago on the eighteenth of June.
All of the clubs are to meet be
tween the hours of 7:30 and 8 p. m.
The election of delegates to the ter
ritorial convention Is fixed for Satur
day, April C, a week from tomorrow,
between' the nouns of one and s'.x in
tho afternoon.
There Is more interest felt in the
present territorial convention election
than has ever been manifested in the
Republican party on any former like
occasion. This is on account of the
"armed neutrality" existing between
the Frear and Kuhio forces, which
has been threatened by the appeal
made by Delegate Kuhio, on the eve
of hia return to Washington, to his

DAIRYMAN'S
Sylvano Nobrlga, dairyman of Nuu
ana Valley, and Milk Inspector Myhre
had a race last night, tho course be
ing tho road leading from the Oahu
Country Club to the carline. Myhre
won and notified the police depart
ment of hia victory this morning. He
vaa awarded a warrant on which the
name of his competitor appeared, in
token of his success.
It appears that of late more water
has got in Nobriga's milk than the
Taw and the state of the weather of
Jato allows. Food Commissioner
Blancbard accordingly detailed Myhre
to obtain a sample of the Nobrlga
dairy's lacteal product.
"You and your boss and the whole
Board of Health outfit can go plumb

man, "and you in particular had bet

which had been tacitly conceded by
the Frearltcs should be done but a
'so'ld" delegation of his particular
friends to Chicago. This situation i.s
further complicated by the Delegate's
public announcement that, to carry
out tno above-mentioned purpose, he
placed his campaign in charge of John
Lano and W. ('. Achi. To commit
his political fortunes to these worthies
has proved, as might have been ex
pected, to bo like throwing fat in the
fire. In many precincts where the
sentiment and sympathy are strongly
for Frear, tho Republican voters will
have no truck whatever with either
Lane or Achi. It is even stated that
both these chosen lieutenants of Dele
gate Kuhio are liable to be beaten In
their own respective precincts.
At al! events there is en Intenso
undercurrent of excitement in the sit
uation, dating from Kuhlo's appeal,

Myhre accepted the Invitation
promptly and Nobrlga, grabbing tho
pump-handle or some other weapon,
gave chase, having ineffectually tried
to "sick" his dog on the fleeing In
spector. When tho carline was roached No
brlga retraced his steps and Myhre
proceeded to town.
Nobriga has frequently been in
trouble before on account of his wa
tering propensities. Myhre has helped
to put him there on at least one occa
sion and Nobriga has since expressed
in no uncertain language his dislike
for tho veteran Inspector.
He will be charged with selling
adulterated milk and with threaten'

on this for tho next poster, and to

If this plan is adopted, a prize will
probably bo offered for tho best car
