POLITICAL BATTLES ARE HOT IN HAWAI More Than 90 Rer Cent Find Time to Vote and Pep Is BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Special Dispatch to The Star. HONOLULU, March o.—When the Constitution followed the fleg into this far-flung outpost of the Pacific, 1t | didn't leave American politics far be- hind. The polyglot population of Hawali can give the people of the American mafnland a helpful lesson in olvic responsibility as rcpresented by the ballot. Whereas on the main- land less than 50 per cent of the quali- fied voters ever go to the polls, out here the percentage of the voters is somewhere in the nineties. Hawailans never tire of voting. This does mot mean they are ‘“‘repeaters. but when one election is over it is difficult for them to restrun them selves until another is due. Campaigns here flame with all the oolor of the tropics, but they are fought out on the good, old political issues that have been handed down since the days when Jefferson and Hamilton were at the head of the two great parties A political campaign in Hawali means much free entertalnment, and the rallies attract enormous crowds. There are singers and hula dancers and “luaus,” meaning a sort of Hawalian barbecue. Candidates for Congress on the mainland could learn a great deal by visiting these paradise isles. Cam- gnnig in most sections C'.-;lned States is cold and callous com- pared to the hot stuff which takes Phu on the Hawaiian battle or bal ot field. Have Pep To Spare. It long has been apparent that po- Iitical meetings on the mainiand need to pep them up. Out here thers is pepper to spare. People in the States are tired of the old bally- hoo. If they listen to a eampaign MRS. 0. H. HAMMONDS, Executive secretary to Gov. Johnston of Oklahoma, an office which her foes declared is unknown to law. A resolu- tion in the Stgte Senate that she be dismissed was tabled, 26 to 23. SEIBERLING NAMED AS FAGTORIN SUT Witness in Goodyear Rubber Case Quizzed to Back Plaintiff’s Contention. By the Associated Pre TOELDO, Ohio, March 5.—Evi- dence Intended to show that Frank A. Seiberling, Goodyear Tire & Rub- | orator at all, they sit at home and turn on the radio. But if Senator So or Congressman Corntassel cot only bring over a campalgn combination from Hawaii, elections on the mainland would be decided ‘much as they are here, in favor of the candidate who put on the better show. Under the surface of the big noise and the wail of the steel guitar, the thrumming of the ukulele and the noisy acclaim of the dancers of the waving hips, the old political battle cries are to be heard sooner or later. Hawall is to be represented in the next Congress by a Republican dele- gate, who won his place in the Na- tional House of Representatives as an advocate of the high tariff system. The new delegate is Capt. Victor K. Houston, a retired naval officer, who makes his home here. Capt. Houston pounded on the tariff until his Demo- cratic opponent, Mr. Jarett, seeking re-election, was crushed in defeat. Mr. Jarett said he, too, favored a high tariff personally, but politically he would have to be .governed by the national views of his party. Inasmuch as sugar is the main- stay of the Hawallan Islands and has lifted them from poverty to a place in the shining sun of pros- perity, and inasmuch as sugar is a constant target of Democratic anti- t agitation, Capt. Houston rode to victory in the last eleétion with all the ease and grace of a native boy gliding over the breakers of Waikiki on a surf board. Sense of Responsibility. Of course, the delegate from Hawaii has no vote in the National Congress, but this small and unimportant de- tail has no bearing whatsoever on the result of the campaign. The is- sues were there and the voters went to the polls feeling their sense of deepest responsibility. In very few States has an_isolated congressional election turned more thoroughly on national issues. The whole of the islands, howéver, seem to have gone Republican. Gov. ‘Wallace Farrington, serving his sec- ond term under appointment from President Coolidge, naturally is a Re- publican. _All the other appointive Federal officers of the islands are Republicans and, for the first time in the -history of Honolulu, the munici- | pal government is under full control of the members of the G. O. P. There were 119 candidates for 25 offices in | the last eampaign, ®o it can readily be seen how popular the game of politics is In these supposedly languid tropics. Political observers recently have been watching with considerable anx- ber Co., common stock voting trustee | s of the firm, | and former president took more than “a friendly interest” in the F. C. Tomlinson suits against Clarence Dillon and John Sherwin, Goodyear management stockholders, was introduced today by counsel for Mrs. Katherine G. Benedict. Benedict's suit seeks an injunction restraining Seiberling and his asso- | clates from acting as trustees of the Goodyear common stock voting trust. Under examination Russell L. inson, co-defendant with testified that at Seiberling’s request he had advanced $10,000 to the Goodyear preferred stockholders’ pro- tective committee, which the phanflf(k contends was used to start litiga- | tion in the Tomlinson case. Robinson said Seiberling told him the committee “needed the money for expenses” and that although nothing was said about a suit, he “undersood it was to be used for that.” C. L. Weiburg, assistant controller of Goodyear, testified that in March, 1914, Frank A. Seiberling purchased ||| common | stock for $100 per share, giving his ||/ 5,264 shares of Goodyear note. Weiburg said that from June, | 1914, to September, 1920, Seiberling'’s dividends were $715,272 cash and a | stock dividend of 21,056 shares of common, with a present value of nearly $800,000. In that time, the| amount Seiberling owed for the stock, with interest, had amounted to $612,495. said. gt el Resignation Is Accepted. Resignation of Maj.

Ordinarily the Chinese and Japanese do not mix well, but as politics always has made strange bed fellows, one finds that condition here as elsewhere.
