political skill which they are supposed
to have picked up under the able
leadership of Sam Johnson.
Maybe these ex-lunas are wise-and

Anyway, Sheriff Brown had his
workers at called meeting in Pahma
one night this week, and succeeded
in mastering six, so the Fishmarket
gossips say. The next night he had
mass meeting, and that time he got
out twenty-five fourteen of them po-
licemen, the six workers aforesaid. and
two citizens. 1t is Il most astonishing
thing, what those Fishmarket gossips
will say between bites of dried squid.
LANES SCHEME.
The Brown men have been holding
mass meetings in Kakaako, too, with
part, and it is said that Jim Quinn
with his Supervisoral aspirations has
been a silent member of these gather
ings. In fact, Brother Jim is not GO
ing to play "A speaking part in this
coming campaign-although he is going
to play "A part. 1t would not be cam
paign, If he didn't.
If precedent goes for anything, 1t
will be a losing part. The trouble with
Brother Quinn, this time, is that he
has got into that little Lane Sunday
school class apparently without a very
| clear understanding of what it was all
about. And 1t Is very simple. They
win tell You the whole story at the

make his calling and election sure, and

are pretending to support Ned. Adams
for Supervisor at-Large and Abraham
Fernandez for Supervisor from the
Fifth District to the loss of Democrat
Moore, as a matter of fact the scheme
Is said by the gossips to be to throw
down Adams at the last moment In the
interest OF Fernandez and let Moore
slip back into his present place.
With Fernandez and Moore I'm the
Board In his interest, Lane would be
really leader. and might be able to
deliver the goods TO his friends. and
get control Of the road department and
the bulk of the county patronage. The
Senate would be nothing to this.
RELATIONS LABELED,
II is even said that Lane made a
speech at Mollilli In which he advised
the natives TO vote his straight
ticket, regardless OF party, which
would seem 10 be something of "A de-
parture for the good little leader OF
the Sunday school class Maybe that
was what Jimmie Boyd and Lane had
their war Of words about-and maybe
that war OF words was because Boyd
objected 10 Lane poaching ON his pre-

between these two have been some
