POLITICS Of
The ISLAND
Walter Dillingham; Is
Out for Public
Service.

"My name will GO before the con-
vention as candidate for supervisor
from the Fourth District,n said Walter
Dillingham; to reporter for the Adj
vertiser yesterday. And the announce
ment did not come as a surprise to
many of his friends or that part OF the
public taking an interest in the selec-
ton of suitable men to represent them
in the Board of Supervisors.
Zone of the factors in my allowing
my name to be presented,'' continued
Mr.. Dillingham;, lis the retirement of
such men as George w. Smith, John
Lucas and Ed. Adams. / will be
pleased to succeed any of those gentle
men and if a disposition to work for
the good of the county leads to success
l will do so. Although new to the game
of politics [ shall hope to receive the
support and nomination of the Republi-
can party at the convention. l am an
officer in the precinct club and have
been allied to the party since its incep-
tion in this Territory
Mr.. Dillingham; is one of the most
popular men of his district and has a
good show to win in November. He
has been connected with the Oahu
Railway and Land Co, and identified in
other business enterprises since attain
ing his majority and has always shown
keen business instinct.
TRUBLE FOR NAWAAKOA.
There was a hullabalo due in the
Board of Supervisors last night, grow
ing out of the Low-Archer controversy.
Charges against Road Supervisor Ma
waakoa had been prepared in the Eva
district and reached here on the five
o clock train. They embraced incom
petence, extravaganza and corruption,
besides several other things that seemed
to be damaging. In speaking of the
prospects for enjoyment Supervisor Lu-
cas- said yesterday afternoon, cit looks
like a fight and [ would not be sur
prised to see Archer beaten when the
time comes. Of course these charges
are not against Archer, but he is the
of the district and he will
be held, Indirectly, responsible for the
on the part of anyone he
may have put in Office. 1t looks bad, |
too, for Nawaakoa.'
That means that if Nawaakoa goes |
out of office the votes intended now for |
Archer will GO a glimmering. Without !
the patronage to give out Nawaakoa |
cdHHoG carry tHo Il lIIH DIStfIct III HIS |
vest pocket, if he wears a vest, as it is |
he does now.
THE POLICE. MACHINE.
Jackie Lucas is quoted as saying that |
the police machine can be broken but |
when reminded of the remark said it |
could not have been him. 81 am for
Brown but against Vida. Brown
knows it and so does Vida. Some peo-
pie think it is wrong to try and elect a
white man as sheriff and, another one
is deputy, but L think it will be safe
enough and we need not nominate
Vida. The Hawaiians are in the ma
ority in the police force and they /
nave the outside deputy sheriffs be-
tides good representation in the Board
If Supervisors. [ do not see where
here will be any fault found nor cry
If color line. Vida counts on his
strength in the Fifth District, but he
viii fall down there. The Fourth holds
control anyhow and we can send the
Yearly control things. / am satisfied
hat it is Browns desire to have Vida
or deputy. What his reason for it is
do not know unless it is because he
likes him better than I do We can
ret better white man and since ka-
akiela has proven his weakness, it
would be folly to run him. The best
We can do is to get white man. The
1awaiians are all right | think a
rreat deal of them, but you will find r
hey are slow to take the initiative.
A forecast for the next election
hows Willie Harris, Charlie Hustace
nd Walter Dillingham; as members of
he Board. And they are named by the
ush the successful white candidates.
20 reckoning is made for Moore, who
5 said by his colleagues to have made a
.ood Supervisor. But Mr.. Moore fixes
p his slate independently of the Re {
ublican members of the Board for be
t remembered he is the lone Dem. of
he organization. Moore looks for sup
ort from all sides and he believes he
viii get it. Charlie Hustace in the
Board, his friends say, will be a good
IAN and a worker. He is always try
ng to find the best men in the party (:
nd it may be that he has hit upon his
deal for this convention. He seems TO
ave the support of the business ele-
nent and as Lucas books him for seat
e will undoubtedly make the fight
