word of explanation with reference to
the above list of endorsed candidates
is called for.
The Federation deems the office of
SnSfliI the IiicSt lE'IA te1AAI III NAiA0 ~N
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 its chlef.
The one imperative civic dgnand 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-
fed with the Brown machine that the
interests of good government demand
the election of Mr.. Thayer.
The Federation finds it an unpleasant
duty to drop from it's endorsed list the
name of such an excellent public SER
want as Mr. 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 a club to strike down
Mr. r. H Trent, the incumbent of the
office. Mr. Trent has done superior
service as County Treasurer, and de-
serves reelection on his record as
rebuke to the machine.
The Federal ton believes that Messrs.
NJ G. K. Hopkins and c. H. Rose are
excellent candidates for the offices for
which they have been named. But the
Civil Service Reform principle, defend
ed for years by our honored president
and every WHERE HIuSAs TiSNCPhSO ~ NiAS
American people, ought to prevail in
Hawaii, namely. that a faithful, eff
cient public servant should be retained
in office Messrs. D. Kalauokalani, Jr.,
and James BickneT fill this require
u1ent 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. V. Gear, for Supervisor, Honolulu.
H c Vida, for DepL.y Sheriff of Ho-
nolulu.
The third list comprises the names OF
all the other candidates, not contained
IN the above two. and whom the Civic
Federation can not see its way clear to
endorse. There seems no need to print
their names.
