The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-08-15

NA a few weeks off the political
w situation is clearing and the
outlook is that when the Re
first week In September, there will be
nothing to record but amicable ADJUST
ments of the differences which SEEM
ingly divide the party, but which in
effect are simply friendly strivings for
the party i1onors.
Throughout the entire group of ISL
ands there seems only one or two no.
limitations assured. But there are many
more which are coming up well and
which promise to be settled satisfac-
torily long before the meeting of the
convention. It appears to be a general
oppose Wilcox with Hawaiian. though
there are strong candidates who are
working hard for the majority Of the
votes in the convention. There are sew
era1 popular men in the party who are
being considered. Some attempts have
been made to force. the nomination Of !,
one or the other of these but from the /
indications there Will be finally peace I
full choice, and the man on whom the /,
decision falls will get the honor with
out having to make any hard struggle, |
being chosen for his availability.
In the matter of the legislators there
seem sure only the nominations of w.
C. Achi in the third and C. H. Dickey
in the second senatorial districts. OF
these the first is admitted and the sec
ond may bring about a little fight but
1t will not last long. for the meeting
of the district committee indicated that
there will be strong backing for the
author of the income tax law when he
is proposed for the upper house.
The local center of interest perhaps
is the fifth representative district. The
three senators from this island who
were dropped out of the senate were
from the southern end, and it is expect
ed by the people there that they will
have the choice of at least two of their
successors. The one certain is w. C.
Achi. To that all parties agree. There
are two wings of the party there and
recently an attempt has been made to
compromise upon basis which may
be assumed to give to the ticket put
up the greatest strength. On the show
ing of votes when the contest was made
for chairman of the fifth district com
mittee the relative strength OF the
wings is as twenty to fifteen. The minor
ity party has proposed that the repre-
sentatives be divided, the only assured
senator to be Achi, and the fight for the
other senatorial places TO be made in
the ioint convention. This is not ap-
preciated by the majority wing, for IL
puts the onus of the senatorial hgnt
upon the fourth district members. 1t
is understood that the counter plan
will be that the majority take four rep
resentatives, the minority to take two
and each side to go before the JOINT
committee meeting with candldate,
having assurances of the support Oh
the entire district committee. The three
representative candidates of the Stew
art faction are said to be Ben Naukaia'
John De Fries and Charles Clark.
There are many candidates for botn
houses in the district and the follow
ing is only a partial list: Senate, FRANK
Pahia w. c. Achi, John C. Lane, Dr.
George Huddy, L. L. McCandless, ana
