The town was full of political gossip
yesterday. In fact, the streets were
buzzing with il all day long. the leg
islature not being in session and states
men having little TO do but talk politics,
but there were really few developments
of interest beyond the publication in
the Advertiser that the delegates from
the Fourth precinct of the Fourth Dis
trict had endorsed Crabbe for Sheriff.
And upon that announcement the sup
porters of Brown at once advanced
their claim of 81 delegates in the con-
vention 10 81.
'.And I suppose said one Crabbe
man. that If another precinct were to
declare for Crabbe, they would claim
1O7."
The Crabbe men, in fact, laughed at
the Brown claims. just as the Brown
men laughed at the Crabbe claims.
Maybe one or the other will have the
last laugh. And maybe the dark
horse will do the laughing. Nobody
knows but Sam Johnson.-and perhaps
he doesn't.
There was one clear bid for peace
yesterday, however, in the story that
roe ,1,e++,- e,aparaIIx- oiroufatad a ahoIlt
noon to the effect that if Crabbe would
get out OF the fight for the shrievafty
the Brown strength and everybody's
Strength would be thrown to him for
any desire to run for auditor, or for
anything but Sheriff it is probable that
the offer was never taken to him at all.
But a new candidate for auditor has
appeared in the person of A. A. Bray
mer. a clerk in the Secretary's office.
1t is believed by Braymer's friends that
he would fill the position acceptably.
The name of N. Fernandez has been
mentioned for the authorship but Fer
nandez is said to have some unfortu-
nate political affiliations that would
weaken him, perhaps
Tt develops that the nomination for
Treasurer is not going TO be walkoyer
for anybody. Shingle and Booth are
already in the field, Shingle it is said
with the backing of Sam Damon, ana
yesterday it was reported that num-
Der of business men We're seeking 10
prevail upon Clarence Cooke to make
the race. AS to Booth, it is claimed by
the politicians that he has been trying
to throw the delegation in his precinct
in trades, and there has arisen some
little feeling about it. Indeed, 1T was
said last night that the delegation
would not back him in that sort of
fight. However. the delegation is
pledged TO Booth. How far it will
consent to go in his interest. remains
to be seen.
The Star last night printed complete
tickets, one for the Republicans AMI
one for the Democrats and Home Rul- |
Ners Jointly. The Star is making a
most earnest fight for Brown, hut
whether the Republican ticket prinred
is the Brown ticket, is not stated. The
ticket. however is as follows:
Supervisor at Large-H. E. Cooper; |
Supervisor for Honolulu-Louis Marks; |
Supervisor for Honolulu-Jim Quinn;
Supervisor for Honolulu-A. Hooking; !
Sherif-A NJ. Brown; District Attor- |
ney-G A Davis: Treasurer-C. w. !
Booth: Auditor-N Fernandez; Clerk
u. Kalauokalani.
This leaves a number of candidates |
already in the field out of consiierd-
ton, TO say nothing of the candidates |
who may appear between now and Sat |
urday For instance. there Is Jack
Lucas. candidate for Supervisor. TO be
reckoned with and G. W. Smith, who
is a candidate for the same place. And
there is Crabbe for Sheriff. and Docth-
lit for attorney. and various cthe's
who are probably not prepared to step
aside without struggle
AS to the craftsmanship, It looks IKE
Harris yet. but it may be somebody
else Adams would have god fol-
lowing. but somehow there is tcelins
that ne does not really care about it.
The Democrats and Home Rulers are
silently waiting to see what the other
fellows viii do-and OF course. hoping
that the Republicans will make 4 mis-
take. And the shadow Of he County
Act litigation is over everybody. Ihere
were absolutely no deveIopn ehts what
ever in that matter yesterday.
