"McClannhan may get compli-
mentary vote from the people here on
this island,r said Republican yester-
day. "but the possibility of his cleo
tion IL so remote that it is not to be
considered And II would be foolish
to try and elect him so long as the
administration at Washington is Re
publican. He is good man but l
doubt if he would make as much prog
ress as Kuhio has in the past; Me-
Clanahan would have to learn the ropes
and in the meantime Hawaii, az far
as appropriations go, would remain sta
tionary.'
And this is the opinion of good
many Republicans and Democrats. But
the issue of the campaign does not
appear to be the delegate. A word
with the active men in both parties
will bring the same result in the an
swer.
funny story went the rounds yes
terday, funny only on account of its
improbabiiity. They had it that Abe.
Fernandez had made deal with Will
lie Harris whereby the former was to
become the choice of the Home Rulers
for supervisor at large and the sum
paid the intermediary, who is said to-
be Charlie Achi, was three hundred
dollars. And of this Abe. got two
hundred. And that is the strong point
that makes the story improbable, for
the people who know how many beans
make five say that it is not in Charlie g
system to throw away go much money.
At all events the nomination of Fer
nandez on the Home Rule ticket assures
the election of Harris and that is what
the people want. Harvey, in the opin-
ion of the Republican leaders, would
be tough proposition for Harris to
90 against without the third party be-
ing in the field.
at seems to me,' said Senator Nc
Candless, "that the ticket is going to
have fight but believe we will win.
There may be some weak men on the
ticket but Republican party is too old
and too strong to be thrown down at
this time. 1t appears to me that the
strong men on the ticket will pull the
weaker ones through. We have had a
couple of nice meetings at Waialua and
even the Democrats were present and
given show. / do not like to hear
of rowdyism at the meetings and it
would be a good thing if the police
were little more alert in stopping it.
If the thing is allowed to go on at
the Republican rallies there will be
nothing to prevent similar state of
affairs at the Democratic meetings and
then the people will stay away from

The decision of Kalakiela in the mat
ter of the nomination for sheriff is
causing some uneasiness in the Home
Rule party. There Is said to be no
concern among the Brown supporters,
for one of them remarked yesterday
that "Jack is waiting to see which
side will pay him the most money to
run or not to run. 1T Browns friends
will pay well for it he will have his
name on the ticket and Brown
chances will be better, for the native
vote will be divided. Brown is not
sure thing among the people who
know how things are going and there
seems to he no doubt he will have the
fight of his life to win this election"
There seems to be no question as to
the activity of the machine in securing
information as to the political views
of the veters. The employees of the
party have bunch that the work must
be ''Two Kinds" that which is for
the sheriff and that which is against.
Those of the latter have no considera
ton at the hands of the machine en-
ployes and if they wish to register
they may walk to the office of the
Board. The machine men take consola-
ton in thinking that the majority of
those who have not registered are of
the class who will not vote for Brown
and who do not care to vote for Tau
kea, in which case the result will be '
the same.
