TWO BRAND NEW
CANDIDATES FOR
THE SHRIEVALTY
The Civic Federation is Considering the Names
of Deputy Sheriff Rawlins and Charles R.
Hemenway.

The political campaign has really be-
gun to ginger up a bit. Yesterday two
real live candidates were put into the
field for the shrievalty. One of these,
whose advent was announced in the
Sunday Advertiser, was Deputy Sheriff
Rawlins. 1t has been known. in fact,
for several days that Mr. Rawlins had
the matter under advisement-or that
his friends had in his behalf. Yester-
day Mr. Rawlins formally consented
to enter the race against Brown.
But that was not all. OF course
Rawlins is counting upon the endorse
ment of the Civic Federation. 1t is,
however. by no means certain that
he will get that. prominent Civic
Federation man said last night
that in his view. Charles R. Hemen-
way would be a very desirable candi-
date-and SO it is possible that senti-
ment may crystalline about him.
Speaking of the position of the Civic
Federation, Theodore Richards said,
Yesterday: 'It is a mistake to say
that the stand taken by the Fedora
tion has been inspired by Governor
Carter The Governor, SO far as
know, has not approached US upon the
matter, and none of as have been near
him. We are not making the Cover
nor's fight at all. We are opposing
Brown"
OPPOSED TO BROWN.
AS about half of Browns strength
is in his declared anti-administration
stand and as nobody of course can
question the perfect truthfulness and
sincerity of Theodore Richards, why
this would seem to be a drawing of
powder from the Brown guns. The
Federation will meet on Wednesday
a afternoon at Y. NJ c. A hall to deter
mine upon its course in the present
campaign. definitely and finally. But
there will be a meeting of the eXecu-
tive committee preliminary to the
other, this afternoon. And whether the
Federation will put a new ticket in the
field, or whether it will make. up a
ticket out of the men already nomi-
mated. is of course a matter to be
determined. 1t is only certain that
there will be a man named to oppose
Brown man, that is, not on any
ticket now. 1t is a pretty safe propo-
sition. likewise, that Richard H. Trent,
Democratic nominee, will be endorsed
for County Treasurer, although there
are powerful influences at work for
Booth. The Supervisorial ticket will
also be cho sen with great care, Lane
of Koolaupoko being one of those GER
tain to be eliminated by the Fedora
tion.
ANDREWS WILL RESIGN.
~And I viii resign from the Fedora
,tion, of course said Lorrin Andrews
yesterday, IF it names candidates in
opposition to any of those on the Re-
publican ticket. L am for the whole
ticket. straight. I am the chairman OF !
the County Committee"
1t would seem that the Democratic !
scheme to pull down Poepoe, fusion
nominee for Sheriff, in the interest
of Brown. has not met with that COM
plete and entire success which it was /
hoped that it would by the sponsors
for the movement. The Home Rulers
do not appear to see just where they
would get off in such a scheme as that.
The Shrievalty is the one fat plum in
county politics. The party that wins
it has patronage to give out, and the
prospect of perfecting a very power
full organization in the interest of fu-
ture political success. And this, it is
thought by those who are on the in
side, is a shining chance to win it.
For nobody attempts any longer to
disguise the fact that there is
widening split in the Republican ranks:
Brown is fighting the Governor, on
proposition, and no matter
what the Civic Federation means, 1t
will give the Governor chance to
