was a lost man. / saw that I had been
knitted by the Sheriff and realized to the
! fullest extent that he had played me
a despicable trick and had lied to me
| delibera tely. He had no intention Of
supporting me when he gave ne his
word that he would, and he did have
the intention to support Gear when he
demanded that the men who had said SO
be brought to him. do not care whether
Brown sent for Gear or Gear went to
him voluntarily, the result is the same
and proves to ne the double treachery
of the man who gave his pledge to
everyone who asked for it, Sheriff
Brown.
Il had no hopes of the nomination OF
Dillingham; and did not want to see him
nominated" continued Quinn. II did
not consider him the man for the place.
What the public wants is a set of
Supervisors who will cut the appropri-
alton for Sheriff in two. L do not be-
lieve it is right to keep twenty or thirty
men hanging around the station under
pay and not earning their money.
know what I am talking about and if
the voters will see to it the police ma
chine will be in history only for with
out the pap to deal out to the ioafers
Brown would have no machine.
SLATE FIXED
THE chances are that Gear viii be
elected by the aid of the police machine
and that Charlie Hustace will be knitted
by the same crowd; Brown would
rather have the devil himself at his
elbow than have Charlie Hustace and
for that reason he will be defeated by
the men who are working for the
Sheriff. Why just before the conven-
ton Brown rushed over to Hustace
and pledged all kinds of things and
the same day he did the same thing to
Gear and Crabbe. 1t was Brown, too,
who had Dillingham; for his candidate.
The plans of the Fifth are to have Abe.
Fernandez nominated on the Demo-
cratic ticket and the Fifth will do Har-
ris to finish. 1t makes no difference
what the merchants want it Is what
the Fifth wants and it does not want
Harris. Moore will probably be elected
anyhow. YOU take that as my card
and I guess you will win out. The
trading in the convention was the worst
in my experience and I do not wonder
now at the determination of the ma
chine to have the secret ballot. If the
people want the right kind of men in
office they will vote to cut out the
booths"
Taking this statement as seriously
as it was made and the consensus of
opinion will be that James is sore and
right justly. OF course there are peo-
pie who would not vote for him even
if they We're not fettered but it makes
him chafe to have been deliberately
thrown down by his friends CD.
SOME INDEPENDENTS.
There are other states being made
that would put the ordinary man who
takes "a pledge to abide by the result
of the convention and to support the
platform of the party to the blush.
It was stated yesterday that Ka-
Iakiela is to run Independently for
the office of Deputy Sheriff and
that the secret ballot will be
worked to a finish in his favor. 1t
is contended by his native friends that
he is entitled to the place on the
ground that he has done good work
in the position and that he is a capable
son of .the soil. Jack is dead against
any suggestion of a color line fight. He
goes into it, if at ALL on his merits.
The Fifth is sore over the result
said a Hawaiian yesterday. Gin spite of
the fact that Vida belongs there. We
are entitled to the nomination and the
lloHIiIiee S1oulu nave Deen a hawaiian.
The downfall of Jack can be traced to
the action of the Sixth of the Fourth
They We're pledged to Gear and Crabbe
for Supervisor and when Crabbe was
Withdrawn they said they would
throw their strength TO Gear and
Vida because the Fifth District prom
ised support to Gear. That is how
Jack was thrown down. With those
votes and some others he was beaten
out or he would have had Vida beaten
