Chancellor Day, of Syracuse Uni
versity, has been granted a leave of
absence for eight months. A Now
York dispatch to the Chicngo Record
Herald says: "Certain well-informed
Syracuse alumni, now residents of
New Yorlc City, tonight predicted
that this action presages Chancellor
Day's ultimate severance of connec
tion with the Institution and that
within the period mentioned he will
step down finally, by resignation or
otherwise, ns its rdministra.tive head.
While denying a current report that
Dr. Day had formally tendered Mb
resignation on the ground of ill
health, members of the trustee body
stated that the eight months's leave
of absence had been voted In order
that the chancellor, with his wife
and daughter, might make a trip
around the world in the effort to re
gain' his health."
An Associated Press dispatch un
der" date of Washington, June 9,
follows: "For the first time in
twenty-seven years, Thomas P. Gore
of Oklahoma was able to distin
guish an object, when today, for the
brief period of thirty seconds, he
could seo his cuff with his left eye.
For the past week the senator has
been receiving treatment at the Epis
copal eye, ear and throat hospital in
this city. If further improvement
is shown it may be unnecessary to
operate on the senator's eye, as had
been the intention. Senator Gore is
now hopeful of regaining the use of
at least one eye."

THE HONOLULU DEMOCRATS
The democratic party of Hawaii In
territorial convention assembled, re
news its fealty to the national dem
ocratic party, the principle of which,
we believe1, are the surest safeguards
of the rights of American citizen
ship, and the boat hope for the work-
in'g: out of the problems which now
confront the American people, and
which' In their solution will bring
Kborty and equality of right and of
I" ODDortunltr to every human being.
We declare our belief that the ap
plication of these principles In the
administration of Hawaii will give
her that full measure of self govern
ment enjoyed In the past and now in
othor territories of the United
States, will abolish the feud&Msm of
our land system, and will give to
labor Us duo and just rewards.
In this bohfcU wo urge upon the
democratic party In congress such a
revision of our land laws as will
take front the- executive of the ter
ritory power to alienate, through ex
change, the public lands of this ter
ritory, a power under which Im
mense areas have been and are 'ua
Ing alienated and given to lar.e land
holders, thus making it vital to the
interests of this territory and im
perative that some prompt and de
cisive action bo taken to preserve
the remaining portions of the pub
He lands of this territory for sottle
ment by bona fide homesteaders. We,
therefore, instruct our delegates to
the national democratic convention
to endeavor to secure a plank in the
democratic national platform favor
ing the application of the nrlncl-
ples of the land laws of the United
States to the territory of Hawaii.
We call on the democratic party
in congress to so revise the organic
act that the full extent of local self
government desired by the people of
this territory, may bo accomplished
Without duplication of ofllcials and
governmental functions, and without
burdening thq people with territorial
departments and officials unneces
sary and expensive.
In common with all citizens of the
territory, wo approvo tho policy of
thoroughly fortifying thoso islands
as tho strategic outpost of continen
tal America, and aro gratlfiod with
tho action rocontly takon to carry
out that policy, and wo urge that
nono out American citizons shall bo
Hoyou on roaorai work In this
wry, wnotnor such work shall
be done by contract or otherwise.
We believe In the dignity of labor,
and hold that this territory can
never rise to Its full possibilities of
prosperity or happiness for Ita peo
ple as long as a system of labor con
tinues which not only discriminates
against American citizens but asso
ciates servility with labor. The dem4-
ocrats or this territory have kept In
violate their principles of American
citizenship, and have constantly held
aloof from all public expression and
demonstration tending to place this
community In the attitude of a pe
culiar or alien people in the eyes
of the nation. We have. thftrAfnro
refused to participate In the repeat
ed requests of our renubllcan fAiTnw
citizens here for discriminating legis
lation at tho hands of congress In
the- Interests of our so-called pecu
liar iocai neous ana conditions, w.
deny that either our Industries or
our commerce need legislation ex
ceptional or contrary to that enacted
for the rest of the American people.
We renew the declarations of the
democratic party of the territory
made two years ago in regard -to a
suitable provision to be made by
uui.Bieaa ior ueen LHluokalanl, and
urge congress to act speedily In the
matter.
The democratic party of Hawaii
heartily favors William Jennings
Bryan for president, and instructs
Its delegates in the national conven
tion to express by united ballot this
choice, so long as he remains a can-
uiuaie Deroro the cnnvAnHnn
We hereby certify that the above
platform was adopted by the terri
torial democratic convention, at Hon-
