Great Increase Is Shown
BY REPUBLICANS
Throughout This Island

primary elections OF the Republican
party In the Fourth and Fifth districts
on Saturday night and that is the
growing popularity of this political or
ganization and the increased Hawaiian
vote all along the line.
As a matter Of fact, II was not ex-
pected that the vote would be very
large since there had been so many
compromises and hence a tendency on
the part of many to say at home know
ing that in several instances, one vote
whole ticket. This was particularly
true of the First and Fifth precincts
of the Fourth District and the Eigth
Precinct of the Fifth. Nevertheless,
these precincts polled good votes. In
the First of the Fourth, there were 109
votes cast in 1900, while on Saturday
this number crawled to 1853. In the
Eighth of the Fifth, there were "a
votes cast in 1900, while on Saturday,
the number went to 1903. The Fifth Of
the Fourth was the only compromise
precinct that fell below the mark, the
vote in 1900 being 1888 and on Satur-
day, only SO.
1t must be taken into consideration,
however, that in 1900 there was parti-
cular reason for a big fight, since the
Lewis & Turk element with three or
| four boarding houses full of men, were
! trying to gain supremacy and there was
uniting of forces to defeat the COM
| that
should the Lews & Turk men get in,
the blow would be a serious one for the
party.
The Second of the Fourth did not
show much of an increase the vote OF
1900 being 429 and that of Saturday
being 459. This precinct may always
be depended upon to turn out full
vote and the figures show that in 1906
and on Saturday, the work in all direc
lions was up to the handle.
The greatest increase was in thu
Seventh Of the Fifth which in 19O'
showed but 81 votes and on Saturda!
reached the magnificent total of 49i
The next highest increase was in tn
Third OF the Fourth which in 1870
showed only 10 votes and on Saturda
came up smiling with 23S.
In fact, the town precincts of tn
Fifth District all showed an increase
In the Eighth. the vote was 1913 a
against "a in 1900. In the Ninth, 1t wa
LAG as against Sc and in the Tenth, 10
as against los.
This result seems to justify the RI
publicans in the belief that the vo,
against the Home Rule party in III
fall will undoubtedly be great enoug
to swamp 1t and that the showing
Saturday surely means the defeat
Wilcox. The results of the ballotir
on Saturday taken In connection wit
the encouraging reports from the 9TH
islands and the fact that many form'
Home Rulers will vote for the II
Kuokoa men, gives all Republican
great confidence that the good o.
party will score a glorious victory
the fall.
There was no particular rush at al
particular time in any OF the precinc
and, with the exception OF the Seven
of the Fifth, 1t seemed as IL the r
publican voters had made up the
minds to resort to no foul means Of al
kind whatever but to walk to the POI
like men, put In their ballots for &
men OF their choice and then, no ma
ter what the result, to stand should
to shoulder In the fall against {
common enemy.
As In every precinct election, the
were vigorous kicks. One of the me
noticeable of these was against the 9
ton OF judges In refusing men knoN
to have belonged to the Home r,
party, to drop a ballot into the box,
being contended that any man W
signed his name to Republican p
cinct roll had the right to vote !
publican ticket. Those who contend
that such men should be allowed
vote pointed to Dreier and Quinn, bt
of whom are defeated Home Rule CT
didates for the Legislature. III tn,
could vote the Republican ticket "
could not others do so when tn
names were signed to the roll" '
the question asked on all hands.
II anyone was around looking
excitement up to ~ midnight he
sadly disappointed for there was alb
lutely none. 1t was not until alb
$3.50 o'clock that men OF the Seye
OF the Fifth, created the only unple
antness of the primaries. This ,
be dwelt upon elsewhere.
The result OF the elections was
, follows:
