much difficulty. H. NJ. Dew has been
working hard to secure the support of
various delegates but he is not expect
ed to cut very much figure for this
office. Joseph Kunewa of Eva. who
has been connected with the tax office
for some years is late candidate for
the authorship. He has the support
of the Fifth district
There is no opposition to Fred r. p
Waterhouse for the office of Treasurer,
nor to d. Kalauokalani. Jr. for the
office of County Clerk
COUNTY ATTORNEY.
The County Attorneyship will bring
out three candidates, J. w. Cathcart,
who has the support of the Brown
element, and the support of E. A.
Douthitt the present County Attorney,
Frank Andrade the special prosecutor
and Carlos A. Long. The indications
are now that Cathcart will be nominate
ed. Andrade will have a strong fol-
lowing, especially among the Portu-
guese contingent Carlos Long seems
to have forgotten, if, indeed. he ever
knew. which is highly improbable
that a man named Lord Sackville West
once wrote a letter on the eve of a
political campaign in the United States
III 1905 anu LIldl letter cost Grover
Cleveland reelection and Vests dip
omatic disgrace. Carlos seems likely
to have relegated himself to the ranks
of the sere and yellow leafed letter
writer's. That touching appeal to the
natives to give him another and bet
ter job than the last one he held, seems
TO have put the auietus on his pros
poets for the attorneyship. In fact
Delegate Kuhio who was credited with
being the sponsor for Long, is under
stood to have metaphorically jumped
all over the political frame of Long.
which by the way, is as attenuated
as his corporeal frame is generous in
proportion.
LANES ATTITUDE.
1t seems certain that the Lane ele-
ment will make every effort to stand by
their action in the Wailuku convention
so far as a platform is concerned. If
any attempt be made to repudiate it
a fight will ensue. 1t may be thought
necessary. however, to pass some reso-
buttons relative to road and other inn
provements but so far as lacking on
any additional planks to the Waikiki
platform, for county purposes, is con-
cerned it seems probable that no such
thing will be attempted.
What is regarded as an important
decision was reached yesterday after
noon at special conference held be-
tween the joint conference committees
OF the Fourth and Fifth districts.
Heretofore it has been the custom for
the temporary chairman of a conven-
ton to appoint not only the committee
on credentials but the other commit
tees as well. The Fourth district rails
. ~ ,.t@n ~.
man today should appoint only the
committee on credentials and the ap-
pointment of the other committees
should rest with the permanent chair
man as those committees are part Of
the permanent organization of the con-
vention. Chairman Alec. Robertson of
the Territorial Committee was called
in as arbitrator. After considerable
discussion it was decided to yield the
point raised by the Fourth district.
The temporary chairman will be A.
S. Kaleiopu of the Fifth and temporary
secretary D. Kalauokalani, Jr. while
w. w Harris of the Fourth will be
permanent chairman. Eli Crawford
seems likely to be the Interpreter. Ka-
will also be permanent Sec
There will be an equal apportion-
ment of members on the various COM !
mittees one member from each pre-
cinct. The Fifth and Eleventh pre-
cincts of the Fifth will be consolidated
with one representative so the COM |
will be equally divided.
The matter of the senatorial and rep
resentative nominations will also be
w o. Smith, Charles F.
Chiliingworth and L. L. McCandless
seen. to be in the lead for Senators.
