H1LO, Aug. 2s.-Considerable inter-
est has been manifested during the
past week in the scheme to erect a

HOME RULE POLITICS.
Members of the Home Rule party at
Laupahoehoe held a sort of convention
on Monday and nominated candidates.
Anywhere else than Laupahoehoe 1t
would be called q club meeting for the
consideration of men who they believe
will make good officials. Neither race
nor party lines were drawn to any ap-
preciable extent; the names of genuine.
dyed in the wool Republicans received
the same cordial reception as staunch
|
harmonious in consequence. In the
matter of supervisors the party was
fair as to distribution but in the five
men named there is not one who is not
affiliated with the Home Rulers.
BY some oversight they named N.
B. Willfong for tax assessor instead of
auditor. He has expressed a desire
for the latter and it is generally un-
derstood that he will receive the nom
ination for that office from the Re-
publican and Home Rule party in Hilo.
George Kaihenu is named by the
Home Rulers for auditor. George is
a Republican and his name has been
mentioned by that party for one of the
county supervisors. e. w. Barnard,
also a staunch Republican, was nam
ed for treasurer. Mr.. Barnard has al,
ready declined the nomination as he
will not be candidate at this cleo
tion. In Hilo the Home Rulers de-
cided to endorse r. A. Lyman. Anton
Fernandez of Hamakua is slated for
the Office of sheriff. He is at present
member of the legislature from Ha-
makua, elected last year on the Home
Rule ticket. Following is the complete
list of nominations:
Sheriff, Anton Fernandez.
Auditor, George Kaihenui.
Treasurer, E. w. Barnard.
Assessor N. C. Willfong.
County Clerk, w. H. Beers.
District Attorney C. H. Williams.
Surveyor, A. B. Loebenstein.
Supervisors. William Purdy, w. G.
Walker, r. Palau, T. j. Ryan and Eu-
gene Lyman.
1t will be noticed that among these
names are several who We're candi-
dates on the Republican side during
the past two years.
Here in Hilo, Ben Brown. at pres
ent senior captain of police under
Sheriff Andrews, Is the choice of the
party and William Todd expects to get
the endorsement of that party in the
event of his failure to secure the nom
ination in the Republican convention.
1t seems that 1T is matter of office
rather than party with several Of the
candidates.-Herald.
Members of the Home Rule party in
Hilo met in Puueo on Tuesday to con-
slider delegates to meet in the conven-
tion to be held here on SeDtember 10.
