Browns ''red ticket dodge yesterday
and laughing, but hardly with the
same heartiness, about the way the
plain clothes policemen turned out and
helped John Lane to carry his precinct
against the wicked Mr.. Achi. Those
policemen might have been in better
business, than taking tickets away
from voters and substituting other
tickets-or, they might have been in
uniform, and so at least have made a
pretense of doing the duty for which
the people pay them.
AS to the red tickets that
was merely small trick for which, it
would seem, the Achi men should have
been on the watch. Perhaps their most
acute regret is that they did not work
some dodge Of the kind themselves.
Both Crabbe and Achi said yester-
day that they would continue the bat
tie until the primaries had made it de-
cisive, one way or the other.
It am not a gutter said Crabbe.
There have been strange doings,''
said Achi, but / will show them yet"

AFTERMATH
Of BATTLE
The Talk of a Dark
Horse for Sheriff
Growing.

OF course, while the Republican Pre-
cinct Club elections carried victory
for Brown over Crabbe in the
fight for the shrievalty of Oahu, it
was so little decisive that the opposi-
ton showed no signs of let-up yester-
day. Neither Crabbe nor Achi was in
a state of great elation, in fact both
Were grievously distressed, but both
expressed a purpose to go on fighting
and that was about what was expected.
The fight was only a try out. 1t has
not greatly changed conditions, nor has
it brought about harmony. It has,
however, had a strong tendency to
awaken the better element to a sense
of the necessity for action looking to-
ward unity on harmonious lines.
Which was why sensible men within
more favorably toward suggestions of
possible candidate for Sheriff who
would be strong, who would have none
of the antagonisms to combat that
whose nomination would give the Re
publican party a chance to relegate the
fight for this minor office to its proper
place, and turn it's attention gravely
to the very serious danger of the loss
of the Legislature.
Brown, with the assistance of the
Harris, Lucas and Sam Johnson
strength the strength of the men who
are opposing Achi for Supervisor-at-
Large. has shown that he is stronger
than Crabbe. That is all.
TALK OF FUSION.
The talk of fusion between the
Democrats and Home Rulers, has
been rather revived than otherwise
since the results of the Precinct Club
elections became known. It is said,
among the Democrats and Home RuI-
ers, that Charlie Motley. erstwhiie
leader of the Home Rulers, is out of
politics. Tt is said that he is even
out of Oahu-or will be. He is going
to Hawaii to live, his removal from
the theater of activity being the price
of fusion.
It is said, further. that the Fusion
lists are not altogether inclined to view
with favor the candidacy of Curtis Tau
kea for Sheriff on their ticket, but that
they will accept Charlie Mccarthy.
If they do accept Charlie Mccarthy,
and if he accepts the nomination, he
will come mighty close to giving the
Republicans the closest rub they have
ever had in Oahu County for Sheriff.
However, Curtis Iaukea has friends,
too, and is not a gutter. He has cast
his eye upon the nomination for Sheriff
in the event that Fusion goes-and
Fusion is going. There is no longer
doubt of it. Palmer Woods has come
up from Hawaii himself, to see that it
goes. Palmer is going to benefit by it
on the Big Island.
