There VIII be more opposition to
ARTHUR Brown for Sheriff than Poepoe
can give him. This announcement was
made yesterday afternoon following
the meeting of the executive committee
of the Civic Federation. And there will
he a fight put up that will perhaps be
a little the warmest thing in politics,
that has occurred in Hawaii for a long
time
Who the candidate against Brown
-x;I, he has not vet been determined.
THE matter was discussed at the meet
Sng of the executive committee at con-
siderable length. A number of names
were considered, among them that Oh
Theodore Richards, but no action was
taken. The committee will meet again
on saturday, which is the last day for
,4he filing of nomination papers, and
at that time the candidate will be de-
ecided upon.
OPPOSITION To QUINN.
Also. there will be a third candidate
nut in the field for Supervisor from
Honolulu as the Civic Federation faii-
ed to endorse either Quinn or MOORE
the Democratic nominee.
Moore was not endorsed by the req
Grafton because nobody present coulo
,youch for him and, although his name
,sxas referred to the executive commit
II 1ily al q
.eration will accept him. Moore IS
member of the Spanish War Veterans
and has taken some prominent part III
,spolitics heretofore. There seems. oS
the way, to have arisen some mlsun-
.derstanding concerning the proceedings
of the Federation mass meeting on
"Wednesday in at least two particulars,
.one of which was with reference to the
endorsement of Frank Archer ana
Woodward for Supervisor from Eva
district. The name of Archer had peeh
endorsed. when that of Woodward was
taken ND. Carlos Long raised the point
that the Federation had already en-
1dorsed Archer, and he did not see no"
woodward could be endorsed likewise
TT was explained to the Assemblyman
that it was not the purpose of the
Federation to put up ticket OF It's
own. The plan was to select the pest
men for every office, and when ooth
men named by the political parties
were fit, then both could be endorsed
and the choice, of course, would rest
with the people. And, with this un-
.derstanding. both Archer and Wood
xvar5 were given the good word of the
Federation.
OPPOSE BROWN AND ,POEPOE.
Indeed. one of the strong points
5rought out by the Federation mass
meeting was this, that the body did
not propose to enter politics to elect
men of its own to office. In the IN
Aterest of honest and clean administra-
4ion of public affairs, it's purpose was
to seek to indicate who were the httest
men named by the several parties
and only in the event that none were
dates. That is what is to happen IN
the fight for the shrieYalty, and in the
fight for the third man for Supervisor
from Honolulu, too.
Another misunderstanding as to what
was done at the Federation meeting
was with reference to that portion OF
the report of the executive committee
declining to endorse either Brown or
Poepoe. the fusion candidate for
Sheriff. There was no objection what
ever made in the way of verbal pro-
test to the adoption Of that part of
the report It was taken out of the
main report in fact. because its adop
ton was regarded as a matter of
course as the meeting proceeded. al
though a fight had been anticipated
upon it.
Judge Weaver moved its adoption,
and when Chairman Castle put the
question there was practically unani-
nous expression of approval. and but
one faint Mo- from a, gentleman sup
posed to be Frank Dodge. or man who
sat next to him. Those who were
present differ as to whether it was
Dodge or the other man who voted in
the negative. At all events the chair
man heard the voice. very family, for
he leaned over and said:
'T thought I heard one voice in the
