"The Democratic party is better
organized for this campaign than II
has ever been before In Hawaii" said
a Republican yesterday morning as
Curtis Iaukea passed by. cit seems
to have come to them that we have
heen busy for several years and thai
it is our complete organization thai
has won the victory. Willie Kinney
has always been more or less active
but it has rested mainly with him and
the men elected by the Democrats were
successful on account of the poor OPP
position put up against them. am
not going to say anything against the
candidates this year, | mean those put
up by them, but l will say, that If
! any of them are weak the improved or
! ganization of the party will help out
tremendously One of the hackers said
to me the other night, in answer to a
question as to whether it was to be
Republican victory, that 1t would de-
pend upon how many citizens were anti
Brown. He intimated that it was al
ways difficult matter to fight cor
rupt machine that would use money
and liquor to win the fight. He even
went further and said he believed the
police machine was using both. -
JARRETT'S STILL HUNT.
Willie Jarrett is making the stillest
kind of campaign and will no doubt
hnt ha 10 haf mr. hnu
Jarrett is great friend of the Hawai-
ians, while Vida is not. He is a bust
ness man with good record which
Vida is not and has not. All of the
good points in the makeup of the Dem
ocratic candidate for the Office are be-
ing analysed by his Hawaiian friends
and they are being used by them in his
interest. In some quarters there is u
feeling that if the Home Rulers had
put up candidate for Sheriff it would
be better for Iaukea. for the reason
that there are so few members of that
party on this island that it would be
just so many votes from Brown Wills
they will probably vote for the incum-
bent if they have no candidate of their
own for the Office.
But the Hawaiians, regardless OF
party, are getting wise to the way to
do things and there is feeling spread
ing among them that it would be good
sense to get hold of the Sheriff's of
flee and by administering it well, keep
it indefinitely, just as they are doing
with the delegateship to Congress. Once
they get an important Office and show
that they can run it faithfully, it
would be impossible to dislodge them
from it-and no reason to try. This
sentiment is working powerfully among
tho native voters of all parties and
laukea is getting votes by it day by
day. 1t is not precisely color line
movement but desire to prove that
the Hawaiian is qualified to hold his
share of the higher Offices and is not
to be kept down to manual labor jobs,
clerkships and other inferior positions
Harvey is not hopeful nor has he al
together lost hope of his election, but
his friends say they do not expect to
land against machine candidate.
Harris is Brown all the way from
nomination to polls, said one of them
yesterday, "and it is hard to beat a
machine as well-oiled az the one run
by the Sherif's office. Harris is good
man but there is that against him and
30 long as the Sheriff has in the Board
of Supervisors enough members to vote
him the nine or ten thousand dollars n
month to pay for the hire of lot of
politicians called sleuths it will be hard
to get change
