County Convention-Maui
Has Lots OF Sport.

Maui are in a Quandary. They cannot
find candidates possessing the requisite
qualifications for their county ticket.
1t is simply a question of bonds. There
are men enough and to spare who are
most willing to serve their county but
they cannot find responsible bondsmen.
Hon. F. w. Beckley, who came to as
sist the Mauiites, has left the island, so
it is reported, in disgust. Senator D.
Kalauokalani still remains, strenuously
attempting to straighten the tangled
political threads.
The Home Rule convention opened on
the third at the Wailuku skating rink
and has had continuous session, day
and evening, since then, most of the
time behind closed doors. Their pro-
posed slate up to date reads: "Oily"
VIM. White for sheriff, John Richard
son for county attorney and Messrs. S.
E. Kaiue. T. B. Lyons, Louis Kookoo
and w. H. Cornwell, Jr., for super
visors. On. dit-that Billy White, who
is a schemer, suggests that the Home
Rulers keep their nominations open un-
til after the Republican convention, on
the 14th.
1t is rumored that several prominent
Republicans have been already asked
to run on the ticket: J. N. K. Keola for
clerk, w. T. Robinson for assessor. J.
K. Kahookele for surveyor and David
Morton for auditor, but they have all
refused to take the oath to the Home
Rule party. 1t is stated that John Rich.
ardson and Thomas Clark, two well
known Democrats, have Joined the
Home Rulers.
