Civic Federation. Not SO as you could
notice 1t.
Another candidate who might make
1t warm for the Sheriff of Oahu is
Frank Andrade, but ii is believed that
the pa-u diplomat prefers a legisla-
tive career, his talents being rather for
finesse than of the knock down and
drag out order. He Is as handsome
man as the Sheriff, 1t Is true. There
be those who think that he Is even
handsomer. But, maply beauty is not
the only qualification for the Shrieval-

men. Take w. w. Harris, for instance.
There are few handsomer men in pub

l.. l.. McCandless, the Sage of Kane
ohe, is another man somewhat famed
for his pulchritude. Indeed, there are
mighty few handsomer men than Link
between Cathedral Rock and Rabbit
Island, and he has a voice as shrilly
sweet as the voice of the slren-and
1t has done mighty things i'm legisla-
ton. That is why he wants to go to
Washington and raise that shrill small
voice in the whispering gallery under
the old dome of the Capitol.
TEN THOUSAND PLUNKS.
The tale has come floating up from
Hilo that he will put ten thousand
good red plunks into his campaign FOR
the nomination-which would seem to

within one of ten of being true.
The Hilo statesmen, so the tale goes,
have stood out against the blandish-
ments displayed before them-and are

Palmer is a journalist now, you know,
and walks with a gold-headed cane and
writes with a gold pen-and, there is
some reason to believe, eats poi with
golden spoon. And IL the Hilo Herald
swings into line for him, then Kuhio
Will lose one section of his supporters,
for a surety. Also, Palmer has the
advantage that he never promised
anybody that he would not run. How
ever, Palmer is Democrat, and that
knocks any chance he might have of
doing anything other than hurting the
chance of Kuhio. 1t is not believed
that Palmer really wants to hurt the
distinguished gentleman whose prom
ises sit so lightly upon him.
Coming back to the office OF Sheriff,
there is small doubt that Clarence
