The Hawaiian gazette., 1906-11-16
ORGAN OR
NO ORGAN?
(From Wednesday, Advertlser

| lfrom wednesday Advertiser)
The germ OF the Democratic news
| paper does not seem to come out into
the sunlight some. There is a hank
ering for the smell of the Ink and for
bite of the roller composition on the
part OF the Democratic writer's but the
angels fail to materialize so the chance
OF getting a new sheet in Honolulu
seems to be fading.
WHAT SHARES ARE WORTH.
shares in the company are par $3.50
with a market price of dollar" said
Deacon Trent yesterday, "and you may
have as many as you wish. There has
been nothing done though we would
like to have a good Democratic sheet
in the Territory. The Republican was
started with no particular object in
view. unless it was to close out the
Advertiser. and in that 1t failed. There
may be field for Democratic paper
here but there has been nothing done
toward organizing company and do
not know that there will be one"
WHAT IS LACKING.
Considering the fact that it is quite
improbable that the new paper could
have the Associated Press franchise,
and the delay in getting a sufficient
number of linotypes. it does seem pos
sible that the newspaper chrysalis will
take on wings very soon. w. A. Kin
ney, the Democratic war horse, does
not think much of the prospect for
such a venture.
you may have all you want for
nothing, take the whole thing" he said
to reporter for the Advertiser in an
swer to a query as to the selling price
of the shares" There is nothing in It.,
not enough to be worth even a mention
in the paper. 1t is only talk and will
probably not amount to anything
more"
Asked relative to the reported re-
count he said: "Why not recount the
whole thing as long as they are to
count the vote for Sheriff? We shall
certainly ask for recount of the Sem
ate and Representative ballots for the
reason that If there can be a mistake
in count where fourteen is the ma
jority there might be mistake in the
difference between success and fail
ure."
ACTION REGRETTED.
A bushes man said he regretted the
action of Sheriff Brown as it proved
conclusively that he cared really very
little for the good of the community.
The chance of losing a Representative
and Senator to the Democrats SEEM
ed very certain and yet there is only
one chance in a thousand or more that
Brown would get more votes than were
reported by the inspectors. Indeed"
he said, "it looks to me as though
Brown would be beaten worse than
ever and l do not see how the Re-
publican party can take him up again
after the recount, even if he should
win, which is quite improbable. To me
it appears that ne has been the VIC
tim of poor advisers who will tell him
in the end they thought it would come
out the other way"
SUPERVISOR RUMORS.
The supervisor talk continues on the
same lines as yesterday. Wilson
seems to be growing a trihe stronger
while Johnson is not a whit weaker
than he was on Saturday last. He has
the advantage of being in the office
just as Trent had the advantage over
Fred. Waterhouse for the same reason.
1t is understood that Archer has the
key to the situation, figuratively he has
the Republican party of Honolulu by
the neck and the plum will go to any
one he selects.
bn NJ, bod A nhar ha ha-
fore the convention" said a Republican
yesterday, read him out of it and tried
to mortify him in a number of ways.
In this supervisor affair he has not
promised anyone and he is favorable
to Sam Johnson but he will do nothing
until he confers with the Governor. He
has the party by the neck and II he
will act on my suggestion he will hold
his peace until the first of January and
then show his preference. 1t Is sure
thing that he worked with Moore in
some things and against him in others
and 1t is true, also, that Moore worked
with Archer in the fight put up against
that gentleman by Jim Low. Whether
Archer will reciprocate now is another
matter: nobody knows but Archer and
he won't tell"
Moore in the meantime is lying low
and will tell no one his hopes and
prospects. There is no suspicion that
he will allow the grass to grow under
his feet between now and the time the
job Is handed out. He says he Is not
given chance to show what he can
do in the matter of building roads and
If he is awarded the place he will get
busy all right.
1t was rumored yesterday that Will
son had the call for the reason that
he is a Democrat and competent. He
has been a contractor for ten years or
more and has the business at his fin
ger ends He is strongly backed by the
Hawailans OF all faiths.
Mr.. Kinney says member of his
party has suggested that the Demo
cratic party in Hawaii might be in
corporated and when asked where the
capital was To come from and what
they would capitalize on the man an
swered that II could be done on their
reputation. The new paper might be
started on something OF the same sort.
