The Merchants Attitude
Encourages Some
Rivalry.

Vida says he is not guilty of all of
the rude things the voters are saying
about him. The voters say if he is not
he will have to show them.
The result of the meeting at the
Young yesterday has had a depressing
effect upon some of those who did not
receive the Endorsement of the mer-
chants. There was a feeling before the
gathering that an Endorsement by the
merchants committee would go far to-
ward getting votes in November, hence
the disappointment in some quarters.
LOOKING FOR CANDIDATES.
You will find that some of the men
/ who would like to be Sheriff will now
come out and ask support said a
Fourth District man yesterday. I'VE
are hungry for a candidate other than
Brown and as I take it had we en-
dorsed Brown yesterday the good men
would have felt. there was no use in
trying for the election I believe we
Will have other men come out
There was a movement made in the
Fourth yesterday to have W. II. Hoogs
go for the place but he declined. 1t
was mentioned in another quarter that
Billy would not be averse to a nominal
ton for the Senate and there is a will
lingness in the Fourth to give it to
him provided he can secure the en-
dorsement of the merchants commit
tee.
ON HAWAII
Up on the big island there is some
thing doing. The Republicans will not
endorse keolanui for Sheriff and there
are two candidates out among the.
Democrats, Knell. a recent member of
the mounted police and a railway man
by the name of Helbush. The Repub-
licans have in mind. Antoine Fernandez,
present Supervisor for Hamakua,
and a member of the last session of
the House. 1t is said he would poll
big vote and would probably be elected.
His constituents, however, want him to
remain in the Board of Supervisors and
would have Pritchard for Sheriff. Wise
seems to be in favor for County Attor-
ney though John u. Smith would like
to get the place. Charlie Mcguire the
present County Auditor, elected last
year on the Democratic ticket, will be
the Republican nominee this year for
the office and Sam. Kauhane, of Kau,
will be the nominee for Treasurer. 1t
seems that Ryan asked Mcguire to-
sign a paper relative to his allegiance
to the Democratic party and he re-
fused to comply. He said, further,
that he had not signed the Democratic
platform last year and he did not in
tend to do so this year. That settled
it as far as the Democratic nomination
was concerned so the Republicans have
taken him up and will try to elect him.
Sam. Pua, the present County Clerk
is Republican. He will have the en-
dorsement of his party for reelection.
FOR THE SENATE
For the Senate there is going to be a
scramble. Palmer Woods has decided to
be a candidate instead of going to Cuba
and Eben Low, who had no thought of
going to any other tropic shade. will
be candidate against him. There is
a feeling in some quarters on Hawaii
that Low can beat Palmer out on the
East side and possibly on the West.
Eben thinks he will get the place if
he has only Palmer to go against but
there is no telling what will happen
before the convention. Desha is to
have charge of the campaign which
promises to be an aggressive one. The
Democrats will nominate J. A. NJ. Oso-
rio, the manager for Hoffschlaeger
Co, for Auditor and possibly Ryan for
Treasurer. He is now the assistant
treasurer. Jim. Lewis is after the Sen
ate and win probably get the nominal
ton. He is considered a good man to
get votes and he may do better in the
upper than he did in the lower house.
He is a hard worker in campaign and
will aid his ticket materially for he
works for all and not alone for him
self. Things in the political pot are
apt to become overdone if the fire con-
tinues at the present temperature.
