OUT AFTER CAMPAIGN FUNDS REPUBLICANS CLAIM ABILITY TO WIN THE WAR IN SHORT ORDER CHAIRMAN WILL HAYS QUOTED Elimination of Politics from Fall Election Suggested Statements do not Conform to Acts Under date of June 19th, the Morn ing Enterprise appeared with a flat tering article on Republicanism and its avowed ability to win the war and win it with greater despatch than the faithfuls of the present administra tion. The article, re-printed from Will Hay's Saratoga speech, ridicul ed and belittled the Democratic activ ity in the war program, and sought to inject party principles into the great issue now at hand. But the Morning Enterprise and Chairman Hays of the Republican National Committee, fool no one when they attempt to create the impression that the political organi zation of which Hays is the head is not attempting to iniect nartv nrin- ciples into the war. Hays recently wrote a magazine editor that he was niuiiiK iu uiscums me elimination ot pomes from the approaching fall elections. Let us see how this wil lingness to eschew politics conforms witn nis acts, "Every one knows there will hp nn. litical activitv. All RonuM,,., i activity. All Renuhl the country, all those who ever voted the Republican ticket, are urged to aid." Just what Mr. Hays meant by this "urged to aid" appeal has been dis closed by the New Freedom of Hon olulu, which published in its edition of June 8 letters received on the is land from the chairman and the land trom the chairman and the treasurer of the Republican National Committee soliciting contributions fnr a hin for a big campaign fund It will be noted that $1,000 was sought from the individual favored with the Hays - and Upham letters. These requests are said to have been sent to 1,500 persons, indicating the desire of the Republican organization leaders to garner a bank account of $1,500,000 to further their political aotivity. But let the letters speak for them selves. They follow, together with the comment with which the New Freedom prefaced their publication: "We have heard much public dis cussion recently on the part of Re publicans as to the elimination of politics from the thoughts of the people during the present struggle in which we are engaged. Under the surface,h owever, it would appear that the Republicans are not prac ticing what they preach, and that that party is now engaged in a most despicable and insidious kind of a propaganda to discredit the adminis tration, capture of the House in No vember elections evidently being the object sought. "These patriotic politicians do not care a straw whether they wreck the Administration or embarass it and hopelessly tie its hands for the dura tion of the war (or even imperil the winning of the war), so long as they have a chance to herd a majority of pliable and selfish representatives into the House. "As evidence of the truth of the remarks the following letters were received recently by a Honolulu gentleman who, utterly disgusted by the trickery and chicanery evidenced by its contents, has turned over the missives to this paper for publica tion: . May 11, 1918. "I respectfully call your attention to letter to you of even date from Mi Pupham. "The necessities . of the moment, touching the subject matter of the letter, are urgent. They are as ap parent, too, as are the like needs in the development and successful op eration of any large business enter prise. The work can and will be done, and done now. The responsi bility for its execution is on us all. There is far more involved than a party victory. If that were all, as important as it is, I would not give two years to the task. I regard it as a matter of the greatest national concern that the brains and heart of the Republican party be brought in to action in a large way, to the end that we may win the war now, se cure peace by victory and not by compromise bareaininer. and nrenare now jn a sane manner for reconstruc tion. We are as unprepared for peace as we were for war. The prob lems ahead are immeasurable in magnitude and complexity. Our du ty in the premises seems clear. "While urging 'no politics' the op position is engaged in the most vig orous political activity ever attempt :- ed, l propose that our nolitis he ujjbii aim acKnowieagea ana on a nlu. i i. j- iuc ajiu vi a uuuiacier mat neeas no subterfuge.

PLEASING EVENTS LAST PROGRAM TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CHAU TAUQUA ASSEMBLY COMES TO AN END BIG JUBILEE IS SUCCESSFUL Feature Artists Appear on Last Day at Gladstone Park President Dye Makes Address The twenty-fifth annual Chautau qua assembly at Gladstone came to a close last Sunday night, after 13 days of excellent entertainment. Every thing this season has been ideal to ward making the event one of the most successful in the history of the association, and the "silver jubilee", will go down in history as a fitting memorial to the earnest endeavor of the management, the performers and the patrons. The attendance exceed ed the estimates, and the programs were better than usual. Not the least among the season's offerings were the events on Sunday's program. The Home Folks concert, with the Gladstone orchestra playing and the audience joining in the sing ing of national airs, was a great success, and in the afternoon the Royal Hawaiian Quintet gave some splendid selections. These musicians from the Sandwich Islands are mas-' ters of the native instruments, and their rich voices in the delightful melodies of their home-land, combin ed in a pleasing entertainment. Jo seph Kekuku, one of the company, is famed for his playing on the guitar. He is said to have discovered the steel method of playing over 15 years ago, when a boy in his island home. First idly experimenting with a comb, and then with the blade of a knife, he gradually developed the art until a specially constructed piece of metal was perfected which aids in bringing out the sweet strains so suggestive of the haunting music of the race. Their programs of both afternoon and evening were enjoy ed by a packed auditorium: Dr. H. V. Adams gave a great in-, spirational lecture-sermon in the af ternoon on "You Can if You Will." He held his audience by the sheer magnetism of his wonderful theme,' and he brought forth some exception al arguments to show the people that they are the masters of their destin ies through the exertion of their lat ent personal powers. He derided the theory that the economic situa- nw au aiij ifiuu w uu VVilli a OUb' cess in life, and declared that the de termination to do a thing was the -essential qualification to attainment. The baseball game between the Wilsonville and Portland AH' Star teams resulted in favor of the form er, giving them the pennant for the season. The standing of the Chau tauqua League gives Wilsonville four games won and two lost, the All Stars three won and two lost, and the Willamette Iron and Steel company team, two won and three lost Closing the season Sunday night, was the descriptive lecture by Mil dred Leo Clemens, on "Rambling Through Paradise." Miss Clemens, a former Portland girl, where she was employed at newspaper work, has spent considerable time in Hawaii, and brought back with her a wonder ful story and a wonderful collection of pictures. Stereopticau views and moving pictures illustrated her talk. Miss Clemens dealt with the history, ' traditions and customs of the island folks in a manner which showed deep study. The floral beauty and the gorgeous scenery were illustrated with colored slides, and the lecturer gave the native names and interpre tations of a number of points of In terest. Moving pictures of the Hawaiians at their national sport surf riding, gave,an insight into the natural love of the race for play. The top-line feature of the entertainment -were tne moving pictures showing the vol cano of Kilauea in action. This great OHO f AW t.wnr, A., i " 1.
