CANDIDATES NOT ENDORSED.
All those on the various tickets, with
any Independent candidates, not named
in the foregoing lists.
The report then continues:
There are several cases in which a
word of explanation with reference to
the above list of endorsed candidates
is called for.
The Federation deems the office of
Sheriff the most important in this cam
paign. The record of the present Sher-
iff is glaringly evident and needs no
comment. The prostitution of the po-
lice force from it's legitimate sphere
is so complete that it no longer stands
for public service. 1t has become the
personal political weapon of it's chief
The one imperative civic demand of the
hour is to overthrow this corrupt,
menacing political machine which is
degrading and debauching our city.
There can be no question that the
nominee of the Republican Convention,
Mr.. Cathcart, for County Attorney is
by far the more capable criminal law
yer of the two candidates for this po-
sition. But he is. so completely identi-
fled with the Brown machine that the
interests of good government demand
the election of Mr.. Thayer.
1.-The Federation finds it an unpleas-
ant duty to drop from it's endorsed list
the name of such an excellent public
servant as F. T. p. Waterhouse. His
record in the Legislature was good and
he should have been retained there.
When the list of nominees for Repre-
sentatives from the Fifth District is
scanned the action of the Republican
Convention in failing to put Mr..
WaterhOuse in nomination for Repre-
sentative assumes the dimensions of
civic treachery. He should have been
renominated and he could have been
elected. But the machine took his
name from this position in order to use
his popularity as club to strike down
r. H. Trent, the incumbent of the
office. Mr.. Trent has done superior
service as County Treasurer, and de-
serves reelection in his record as a
rebuke to the machine.
THE Federation believes that Messrs
NJ. G. X. Hopkins and c. H. Rose are
excellent candidates for the offices fol
which they have been named. But the
Civil Service Reform principle, defend
ed for years by our honored president
and everywhere widely accepted by the
American people, ought to prevail ii
Hawaii, namely, that a faithful, eff,
cient, public servant should be retained
in office. Messrs. D. Kalauokalani, Jr.
and James Bicknel fill this require,
ment and they deserve reelection.
"The second list of candidates com
prises those whose election the Civic
Federation opposes. They are as fol
lows:
CANDIDATES OPPOSED BY THE
CIVIC FEDERATION.
c. F. Chillingworth, for the Senate.
A, NJ Brown, for Sheriff
A. " Gear, for Supervisor Honolulu
H. c. Vida, for Deputy Sheriff of Ho
, nolulu.
"The third list comprises the names o.
all the other candidates, not contained
! in the above two, and whom the Civil,
r Federation can not see its way clear t
endorse. There seems no need to prin
t their names"
