CARRIERS POSITION


tho administration. for I'd Be- of vital
Importance chat the administration
should have Boo office men who are Boo
cooperation with &c. rather than men
who are laying for 81 with q knife and
constantly "a source Of friction in the
management Of public affairs.
Mr. Browns position. is an endorse
ment, and at the same time not an en-
dorsement Of the administration. II
the Republican party here wants 10
support a man who is not supporter
of the administration, ! am interested
In knowing IT, II is not up to me to
make any move. 1t is up to the vot-
ers Of the party / have been informed
that the nomination OF Mr.. Brown
would not have been possible had It
been understood I'm the convention
that he was to run as an anti-adminis-
tration candidate, but no such state
ment was made to the convention.
Since the nomination Mr. Brown has
come out with a statement that he is
an anti-administration candidate, and
as l have said, I am interested to
know whether the Republican party, in
return for the support which the ad-
ministration has always given it. is go
ing to support a candidate who Is
against il.
1t is necessary for the success Of
the Observation-Disclosures for me, but
for the good of the Territory.-that the
administration be surrounded by men
with whom it can work tremendously
and in whom it has confidence do
not see how a man can claim to be
Republican and at the same time anti
administration, but that is the posi-
ton taken. 1t is not up to the robins
egg-blue chamber to make a move. It
is up to the Republican party to say
whether it is opposing the anti-admln-
istration or not. / have taken no part
in the county campaign and have tried
Ito keep government employees out I
have supported the Republican party,
however, and wait to know either il is
anti-administration or not. 1t is up to
the voters, and l would like to see a
show-down."
The governors remarks might be
construed as a threat that if the Re-
publican organization wanted a fight
with the administration, it could have
it. He did not say So but did say that
he wanted to know" about the atti-
tude of the party towards a candidate
who had declared himself against the
administration The governor said he
was surprised to see Browns intima-
ton that his differences with the gov
ernOr We're personal. Carter said thai
his personal relations with Brown haC
most cordial but that he had no conf.
dence in him as an official. IF he is
made the sheriff of Oahu" said tn,
governor q shall not be able to have
any confidence in him as such. Blu
personally we have had no difference
at ALL"
1t is apparently up to the Republca,
organization to decide what to d,
about the apparent split. If the organ
ization supports Brown as long as h
takes the character of an anti-admin
istration candidate, it is not unlikel
to find itselg without the support o
, the governor and the administration
This might mean the cutting off at on
, blow of all the powers which the part.
4 committees have assumed in the mat
, ter Of influencing appointments, an
/ there would be wailng and gnashinj
of teeth among the faithful organizer
who have an eye to enc jobs. And tn
\ party would lose a tremendous sourc
of strength.
