THINKS CAN WIN.
What Politicians of Various Faiths say
About 't-Meets With Much But Not
Universal Favor.

The fusion legislative ticket for Oahu
proposed by "A Democrat In this
mornings Advertiser has set great
deal of political talk agoing. The
ticket proposed was as follows;
For Congress-Samuel Parker Gre
publican)
Fourth District.-Senate-Co G. j.
Mccarthy, (DemocraD, Cecil Brown,
(Republican), Prince David CDemocraO,
House-A. G. NJ. Robertson (Republi-
CAM, Alexander Young, Paul Isenberg
or John f. Bush DemocraD, j. Il.
Atherton (Republican).
Fifth Observation-Disclosures Water
house or George r. Carter (Republican),
]. o. Carter (DemocraO. ]. L. Kaulu-
kou (Republican). Houses. M. Da-
mon (Democrat, w. G. Achi (Repub-
lican,) John Emmeluth (DemocraD.
James K. Kaulia. one of the heads of
the Independent party, said this morn
ing. 1.-The ticket is very strong one
but 1 believe it will be beaten by us.
There are too many missionaries on
it to appeal to any Independent votes,
and to be elected some of nur following
will have to be drawn away. Cecil
Brown is a missionary-not exactly that
himself but of a missionary family and
he stands in with that crowd. ]. B.
Anterior, Henry Waterhouse and Geor-
ge K. Carter are out and out mission
aries S. M. Damon is also a mission
airy, but will poll bigger vote than the
others. The balance of the ticket is
very strong and would make it quite
interesting for u.s."
Mr.. Kaulia went on to say that the
Independents had decided to divide the
oahu representation in Senate and
House equally between whites and ma
tives; he emphasized the fact, how
ever, that no missionaries would be
| nominated.
Colonel C. ]. Mccarthy, chairman of
the Democratic central committee,
would not express an opinion as to the
| strength of the ticket, as his own name
was in the list. He did say however;
| THE Democratic central committee has
not considered fusion with the Repub-
licans at all, although there has been
some street talk about 1t, 1 believe.
With developments of today feel that
the Democrats will probably be able to
take care of themselves without fusing
| with anybody"
Chairman George w. Smith, of the
Republican central committee, said:
1.-The ticket suits me. 1t is a list of good
able men. We must do something to
defeat the Independents"
A member of the majority in the
Fourth district, who asked not to be
quoted, gave 1t as his personal opinion
that his faction of Republicans would
not accept the ticket because they were
not properly represented upon 1t. He
spoke of two men as being good citizens
but too missionary for his faction.
Another gentlemen with Democratic
leanings, but who has not allied him
self with either, said: ut is the best
ticket ever saw-to be showed under.
Leading politicians do not feel that
the appearance of Prince David in the
Congressional field this morning affects
in the least the fight against the Tn1e-
pendents for the legislature. They think
that combine will give Democrats ant
Republicans fifteen men each, turning
down the Independents entirely which
will be better than an Independent ma
jority in each house. as the represen-
tatives of both the old line parties viii
surely be good men. In the Demccra-
tic ranks today IT is said that the full
support of the party will be given &c
David for Congress. This Knocks out
fusion on that score. The Democrats
say that the Prince will certainly beat
Wilcox and will give Parker close
| race.
