county fight--and it takes something
to do that, because it is the county that
has the jobs to give out, and most
men in politics in Hawaii are not in
it for their health. This is about the
most notorious field for spoils politics
yet remaining open in the United
States. 1t is the fight for Delegate, as
is perfectly Well known, that started

much regard to party lines. either.
1t is the fight for Delegate that has
aroused the Democrats, who are watch
ing every move of the enemy. with
a view to taking advantage of any
breach in the line that may appear
anywhere. If the Republicans nomi-
nate a white man, the Democrats are
ready to get in behind Kuhio to man.
If the Republicans nominate kuhio, a
prominent Democrat said the other
day that his party had a white man
ready to make the race.

1t is the fight for Delegate, in fact
that the whole push on both sides is
watching now with the keenest posi-
BILE interest. II is not likely that there
will be a lessentng of interest, either,
until Kuhio comes home-and then ii

insist upon the Delegate declaring
himself as to his party utilization be-

an awful predicament he would be in
if the party he declared for should
