With the nomination primaries to-
night, ct which some of the precinct.
| will instruct as to the convention
| there is still dearth of material in
the Republican party for county offices
| The material is probably at hand but
| the candidates are slow to show them
selves. Probably it is for the reason.
| that in Hawaii, at least, it has been
the custom in the past for the office 10
seek the man. Now the man is a little
| bashful in seeking the office, though
Hawaii is a political part of the Unit
expected to abandon some of their old
| ideas. Be that as it may. there are at
best few candidates who have announc-
ed their willingness to serve the party,
of the kind that the party is willing
to take.
There will, without doubt, be a con-
test in most of the precincts between
those who have candidates that the
people don't want, and the men who
have no candidates. but don't want
those which have been put forward.
The indications point to the probability
that the ticket will not even be out
lined until after the delegates are
chosen.
In the. Fifth the old fight will be re-
newed. Two and perhaps three tick
cts will be put into the field in some
of the precincts and there will be the
greatest activity about the polls to-
morrow. In the Fourth also there is
a half-hearted contest in some of the
precincts, and the Kumalae men are
said to be trying to get foothold. The
citizens generally are pretty well or
ganized. however, and the big gather
ing at the Second Precinct Club Wed
nesday evening indicates a big turn
out in all of the precincts.
The Republican Executive Commit
tee has succeeded in awakening con
siderable interest by a general request
to all precinct clubs to turn out Friday
and Saturday The members of the
committee believe that if the citizens
generally respond and take part in the
primaries they can insure good. clean
talk of a citizens movement.
