REPUBLICAN POLITICS.


In considering the Maui political stu
alton just prior to the approaching
Republican conventions one thing
seems remarkable, that county politics
overshadow in Importance legislative
political affairs. Candidates for the
Legislature are few and not over
anxious in their candidacy while on
the other hand there will be no diff
Guilty in making nominations for super
visors and other county officers.
In Hama district Hon w. P. Haia, in
stead of seeking reelection to the leg
iSlature, is working for the Republi-
can nomination for supervisor. and he
and Postmaster Omsted have been con-
Quoting strenuous campaign in order
to obtain the desired prize. In the
meantime no prominent candidate for
legisla tive honors has appeared.
Hon. George Copp of Ku1a states that
another term in the legislature is too
much of a luxury for him, but he would
run for supervisor of Makawao in case
T. NJ. Church should withdraw from
the field.
Hon. Philip Pail of Lahaina, after
much persuasion, has at last consent
ed to run again for the Legislature and
the Lahaina county delegates will
come to Waikiki pledged to him and

On Molokai x-Representative Joel
Nakaleka will probably be nominated
for representative inasmuch as he will
have the Endorsement of the local pre-
cinct clubs. 1t is stated that $50 citi-
zens residing in the Settlement have
signed petition in favor of Nakaleka,

representative, has removed to Homo
lulu
In Waikiki, in case Hon. w. J.
Coelho is nominated for senator, there
is no declared candidate for the lower
, house.
Hon. John Kalino of Paia will prob
ably be nominated again. Enos Vim
cent of Paia and B. P. Manoanoa of
| Kuia have been spoken of as possible
candidates but are not eager m the
matter
| The candidates for senator have mar
rowed down to three. Hon S. Kelii-

Coke.
| Most-if not all-of the present coun-
( ty officers will be nominated to run for
| a second term.
In Wailuku several good men are
talked of candidates for supervisor
Hon. S. E. Kaiue. r. A. .Wadsworth
and r. w Filler For deputy sheriff,
Ed. Rogers, the sheriff's clerk is men
toned as a strong candidate but it is
doubtful whether he would consent to
run. Chas. Lake and Clement Crowell
have published their intentions of run
ming if nominated by the Republicans,
but it is a question if either of tfem

Home Ruler, Tom Clark
Hon s. E. Kalama, the Republican
campaign manager, states that the
Republican party of Maui in spite of
some local troubles, is fully as strong
as two years ago and will succeed at
the polls in November provided good
men are nominated.
1t is to be noted that many Home
Rulers signed the rolls and voted in
the Republican primaries all over the
island.
The precinct clubs of Wailuku dis
trict (of Waikiki, Waihee. Kihef and
