THE PRINCESS

TALKS
She is Out for Good
Men of Any Party
and Doesn't Like
Office Seekers at
All.

II am neither Republican or Home

porter. 81 am The County and I want
only good men to run for office"
II don't know yet whether 1 am a
me 20 rum" said Delegate Wilcox in
answer to question. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilcox were together when they were
asked for a political interview, which
both freely gave. The Princess did
not agree with the ex-Delegate in a
good many things but the indications
are that her advice will count for a
good deal in the wind-up.
II don't know much about politics
myself" said Mr.. Wilcox, II have
been sick for three days now"
Are you going to run for sheriff."
II don't know yet, the delegates must
decide that. / have not decided"
THE Home Rulers want him to run
for sheriff. interrupted Mrs. Wilcox.
Everywhere I go natives and Chinese
both say run, run, run; but / don't
want him to run-not while he is sick.
He was sick for three days and nights,
and / had to take care of him. l ask
ed the natives if they would take care
of him when he was sick, like had to
do, when he was elected sheriff-so 1
could play the lady. They didn't an
Swer that"
Il don't like office-seekers, contin-
ued the Princess. Mr.. Wilcox is not
seeking the office they come and ask
him. and want him to be sheriff. These
men running after the offices make me
sick. Mr.. Wilcox does not seek the |
Office
II think every man is an office-seek-
err expostulated the ex-Delegate |
mildly. "Eeveryone wants Office
II don't believe that is true, the
good men are not the kind that seek
Office" interrupted Mrs. Wilcox "All
these natives are going around looking
for office, and it isn't right. After the
convention is held it is all right to go
and get votes, but not now, to get the
nomination. There are plenty of good
men for offices. That is who l want
for the county offices, only good men,
There are lots of them here. There
IS c. L. Wight of the Wilder Steamship
70. and BILLY" Irwin, only 1 think
lie is an Englishman and can't run.
And Mr. Giffard. is he not an English
MANI"
Mr.. Wilcox said that Giffard had
been naturalized, he thought.
There is lot more, continued the
wife. There is Alexander
Young and Mr.. Rodiek of Hackfeld &
Co. and Captain Dabel who is on the
wharf. Then there is A. Fernandez
who is going to run for Treasurer. He
used to be a Democrat but is now a
Home Ruler. Then there is of course,
Curtis Iaukea who might run for sher-
If and Charlie Motley who wants to be
treasurer. But still there are lot of
good men. S. E. Damon is another good
man for supervisor.
Mr.. Wilcox said he did not believe
that Mr.. Damon ST., would let his son
run but Mrs. Wilcox thought the young
man could do as he pleased. {
II am neither Republican or Home ,
Ruler" continued Mrs. Wilcox. "They
say 1 am The County now. But all I
want is good honest men on the tick
It, whether they are Republicans or
Democrats I
In response to another question Mr..
Wilcox stated that he didn't know when
he Oahu Home Rule convention would
De held. IT'S going to be on the 30th
