at the polls as we'll The fifty Ha-
waiians sent down from Honolulu to
work on the plantation are expected
to do the business. On the other hand
man who knows MeUandless quite as
we'll as the other man is responsible
for the statement that down in his
heart Lin1- does not believe Defries
will beat Archer at the polls. There
seems to be some difference over a
road that was built by the county and
yet the railway people look at it as
their own private piece of land and
have sued Jim Armstrong for running
a water pipe across the road. That is
a mere something else and the way to
have the something determined is to
have a suit in court and Armstrong is
the one who is just now get-at-able.
Later in the game Link McCandless
may be given a show but it is a aues-
tion if he wants it.
The Low fight against Archer is a
strong one but Archer has a good
chance for win. The matter of the
road crusher has been investigated and
will be reported upon at the special
meeting of the Board of Supervisors
tomorrow night. When that report is
read something NAV be known of the
cause of the row between the two men
of Eva district.
THE AALA PARK MEETING.
The meeting at Aala Park next Sat-
urday night promises to be an interest
ing one. Kuhio is to tell what he did
in Washington, Rev. S. L. Desha of
Hilo, w. 0. Smith and George W. Smith
will take part and support the delegate.
There will be another speaker but he
has not been chosen yet. This viii be
the opening gun, unless the meeting of
Kamehameha Alumni, where the dele
gate announced himself candidate, is
taken into consideration. He is in for
the fight with both feet and is satisfied
that there is nothing yet born that can
beat him in the election.
IAUKEA TALKS.
Curtis Iaukea says he does nat be-
lieve he win ever be candidate again. |
Not even if Bryan or another man |
just as good should receive the |
for the presidency. He says |
the statement that he would under
those conditions was rather premature,
just as the one made in an afternoon
paper to the effect that he would be a
candidate for the sheriff s position.
Practically am in the hands of my
friends,' he said yesterday 81 will
neither confirm nor deny the rumor
though I would rather wait a little
while before coming right out with
declaration / want to wait and see
what support there will be for me. If
it is what I think it should be | VIII
accept the nomination. L believe can
tell in time but l would refuse it today
f it were brought to me on gold plate
Or if it should come to me in an en-
Telope through the mails.
'|There will be no fusion of any
,arties,' continued Curtis, ''and You
nay put that down as final as far as
he delegateship is concerned. 1t will
,e Cupid for Cupid and the Republ
ans, Motley for the Home Rulers and
whoever may be named for the Demo
rats. We do not believe in fusion
lere and for that reason do not think
nvone viii be brave enough to sug- s
rest it. I am out of it at any price
low and for ever. The sheriff. Well,
prefer to wait and see how the
trength goes, and where.
