RULERS WANT TO COMPROMISE

PAIA, Maui, September 12.-Politics
are beginning to get warm in Maui
County and many are the states that
are being put up, and some of which
are bound to get broken. Yesterday
at Paia, a caucus was held of the de-
legates from the Makawao, Hamakua-
poko and Keanae precincts, with II. p.
Baldwin of the Kahului precinct. and
candidates for each office were dis
cussed and a preliminary slote agree
upon.
The candidates favored at the meet
ing were as follows:
Supervisors. T. T. Meyers for Molo-
kai; A. n. Hayselden or s. Kapu for
Lahaina; William Bal for wailuku; H.
A. Baldwin for Makawao and w. f.
Pogue for Hama.
Sheriff: L. NJ. Baldwin.
Assessor: Charles Copp or w. T.
Robinson.
Treasurer: F. Wittrock
Attorney: n. w. Aluli.
Auditor: A. n. Hayselden or w. T.
Robinson.
Clerk: David Morton.
Surveyor: Hugh Howell or ]. K. Ka-
hookele.
Some discussion was had upon the
eXpediency of passing a resolution call
ing upon the president to appoint as
our next governor to succeed Governor
Dole an island man, and not a stranger
from the main land. AS to whether
any specific name would be endorsed
was left open for the convention to set
an of 1pnq ~ a
effect will pass. The name of David
Morton is a new one for the County
Clerkship as heretofore ]. NJ Keola of
Wailuku has been practically the only
one mentioned for that position. There
will be somewhat of a fight between
the two names unless one of them
withdraws.
This afternoon at Kahului a caucus
of the Makawao, Hamakuapoko, Kea-
nae, Hama and Kahului delegates will
be held at which some concerted action
will be agreed upon if possible The
Hama delegation are determined that
Mr.. Wittrock of Hama shall be given
the nomination as Treasurer their con-
tention being that their district is en-
| titled to at least one nomination for
| County officers. Mr.. Wittrock is a
man of sterling qualities, and would
| undoubtedly make a first class trea-
surer, so that the only objection to
him can be on the point of popularity
with the voters. w. r. Robinson is
the other strong name mentioned as
treasurer, but the report is that he will
accept nothing on the ticket but as
| SCISSOR. so in case, the way will prac-
| tically be clear for Mr.. Wittrock. 1t
is practically assured that I. Nj. Bald
win will get the nomination for sheriff,
but beyond that there may be n chang
ing of the names on the ticket, that is
a Encouragement of the names. Most
of the names mentioned will in all prob
ability be found upon the completes
ticket, which arranged in any way will
make good strong ticket.
The leaders of the Republican party
here have been approached a number
of times by the leaders of the Home
Rulers upon the subject of a com
promise. Each proposal however has
always left the Home Rulers with three
out of five of the Supervisors. The
| Republicans are in no position to COM
promise, nor can they afford to do so.
| They have a strong ticket to put for
ward, and will fight for it straight
There are protests from Molokai
against the delegation headed by D. Fl.
Kahaulelio. This delegation consist
ing of himself, his father-in-law Judge
Mahoe, and Rev. Kaai, come over with
| the intention of putting forward the
Rev. Kaai as the choice of the Mo-
| lokai people for supervisor. The pro-
tests against this are so strong from
| Molokai that the delegations choice
will probably be passed over for Mr..
| Meyers, who is said to be the strongest
candidate on Molokai. The voters up
on Molokai are so separated that it has
| become imperative that branch pre-
cinct clubs be formed there so that a
fair expression of opinion can be had
upon whatever subjects may come up.
The county convention will be called
to order in the court house in Wailuku
