PRIMARY
AFTERMATH
Summing Up Results
of Saturdays
Voting.

The aftermath of the primary cleo
ton has not come around. Sam John
son is still waiting for it to drop in SO
he can have settlement with the
Sheriff
You cannot exactly call it a Brown
victory but you may call it an Achi
failure and not be called down." said
Sam yesterday. I'VE put Charlie to
sleep as quickly as the Punehbowl
what-do-you-ca did the friend OF
Mortch and I don't think he will come
to for awhile
Johnson says he is sure of the Fourth
to some extent and there are a few
in the Fifth he believes he can count
on And the difference is all over the
selection of a candidate for supervisor
from the Fourth.
IT feel certain of seventy delegates
now and there may be more to come, !"
he remarked; you cannot always tell
how they will stand so soon after the
election. I want to assure you that
there is perfect harmony between the
Sheriff and myself. Some of his men
knitted one of mine but my men were
straight and they voted for his dele
gates. Our difference is not over Vida;
we understand each other on that
point, but on the subject of the can
didacy of A. V. Gear for supervisor
from the Fourth Precinct of the Fourth
1 do not propose to stand for Gear and
1 have so informed him. do not want
to go behind his back so that when he
came to me and asked me to support
him in the convention I declined
GEAR AND CRABBE.
1t seems that Crabbe withdrew from
the run for the shrievalty at the re-
quest of Brown and with the under
standing that all of the Brown dele
gates would be instructed for Crabbe
in the convention. Gear comes out as
a sort of dark horse who declined the
call of his paper for all men to declare
themselves before the primaries. He

camp for the reason that he opposed
the missionary government and for the
attitude of paper at one time in
existence here which he either owned
or controlled. Should Gear get the
nomination he would have
a portion of the Republican vote, at
least the Hawaiians. and would have
the support of the Home Rulers. But
Of hot ar
son will fight him in the convention
because he knows that his position
as road supervisor depends upon Gear
being out of the Board. Crabbe has been
battered around long enough, Sam
says. and it is time the boys We're do
ing something for him. He wants to
be supervisor and it is up to the con-
vention to give him the nomination.
You see Crabbe and Gear are from
the same precinct and it will not do for
the voters there to drop Crabbe after
he gave up the chance of being Sher-
iff.'' remarked the road supervisor. II
do not know how much support Gear
viii have in the convention; l know
that Crabbe will have a lot and neither
Of them can have the support of the
Second and Fourth for the reason that
they did not come to the front when
the voters of that precinct asked them
to-"
So that it appears that if Gear gets
the nomination for supervisor it will
be without the aid of Sam Johnson and
If by any means Johnson should remain
under the new Board it will
not be through any assistance rendered
by Mr.. Gear. Whether Crabbe can get
It is another matter for the conven-
ton delegates to decide. He sure has
been patiently waiting for place but
CAN GET VOTES.
'Crabbe is one of the best vote-get-
ters in the city said gentleman
from >the Fourth, his record shows
that. He was the highest when he ran
for Senator and believe he would still
be a good one. His friends in the
Fourth say he shall be a candidate and
here are others who want him no mat
ter what you may hear around town.
There's the Eighth, Fourth and the
Fifth that will stand behind him and
1 man having that much support with
which to go into the convention is
something of hummer. They will
give him So votes for a starter and he
will win more. It looks like Crabbe to
% Gear comes from do not know, but
lie has the support of the Sheriff,
whatever it may be worth, at this time
,ut rather than lose Johnson he may
brow over Gear"
yIDA'S CHANCES.
1t seems that Vida does not come
nto the calculations of Johnson be-
rond the bare statement that he will
lot support him in the convention. He
avs Vida will have some strength in
he Fifth and to defeat him in the
convention it will be necessary for one /,
f the men who have put themselves /
onward as candidates to withdraw. |
hat does not signify that it will be |
Salakiela. Jack is the stronger when /
My he and Hanale are considered, !
erhaps Jack is stronger than Vida. |
ome people will tell you that the
omination of Vida may not be fol-
owed by his election.
BROWN AND VIDA.
