TRYING To Do
LUCAS AND
ADAMS
Vida and Jimmie Boyd
After Supervisors and
Sam Johnson.

And now it is being told around the
into the Sunday school business him.
self, and has been~.holding secret po-
litical meetings in kalihi and Kaka-
, ako, along with Jimmie Boyd and that
ilk. with the fell intent and purpose
TO do up Supervisor Jack Lucas and
Supervisor Ned Adams and to make
Jimmie Boyd into a road supervisor
to the undoing Of Sam Johnson And
most astonishing thing, how those
Fishmarket gossips will set their
tongues a-wagging when there is poll
tics to the fore.
And every tongue wags at once-and
SO they tell a lot. Henry Vida, it is
said, began his little series of secret,
caucuses in Kalihi on Sunday. The
Sabbatarian spirit that hangs over the
county campaign in Oahu at its present
stage is one of its most astonishing
manifestations. First, there was the
| little Lane Sunday school class, that
began it's brief and brilliant career on
| the Sabbath day, and now here is
Henry Vida, q man of peace-or at
least. a peace officer-putting himself
in the same holy category with the
truly good and pious Mr.. Jimmie Boyd
braves in the interest. probably, of
Sheriff Browns uncreated political ma
chine-Which by the way is the same
machine that caught poor Ned Crabbe
in the wheels of it and whirled him
around to his undoing because he said
that he was going to work for the
nomination of his pa for Sheriff. Filial
duty doesn't count, you know. when it
comes to the machine-and SO poor Ned |
will have to go.
AFTER THEIR MASTER.
But fancy these little fellows trying |
to do UP Sam Johnson. who learned /
politics in the school of Lorrin An !
drews. now of Shanghai. 1t IS a pity, |
by the way, that Lorrin is not here /
now TO give them cards and spades t
and a beating, but his mantle is in /
Sam Johnson's hands. it is SAID, and
doubtless will presently fall on his
shoulders. And think of them trying
to do up Jack Lucas. too! Jackie is .
pretty good hand at the game-and the
road supervisorship that Jimmie Boyd
viii not get as a result of this present
effort is one of the shining prizes Of
Oahu county politics.
For Jack Lucas has machine of his
own that will run over some people
when he gets it into actfon-and Vida
and Boyd are due TO find out that they
have been in a fight before the battle
is over. 1T will not be all shouting, |
nor all pulling down opposition speak
ers in the public street, next time. Not
by a large and comprehensive ma
jority.
The defiance of Clarence Crabbe in
the Advertiser of yesterday has really
rrarked the opening of the battle in
politics. Crabbe is a hard man
10 beat, as the present Sheriff found :
out in the last primary fight In fact, ,
i is a pretty we'll understood fact.
and was pretty well understood at the
ime Of the last Republican County
that Crabbe had Brown
beaten if Governor Carter had given
he word to his men to stand for
Crabbe in the convention. And, as it 7
vas, Brown did not receive the votes
4 majority or the delegates IN tne
on the ballot.
CRABBE A WINNER
There were Brown men in that Con- n
7ention who will not be Brown men in o
he next one There are many Re-
,ublicans, the Lane little chaps to the Il
contrary Notwithstanding, who do not
,elieve that a man who promises an
,ther man to stand out if he is elect L
d to office once should be encouraged
n his promise-breaking by receiving 90
onors at the hands Of his party. The
.ane little fellows. taking Kuhio as
heir standard bearer and bearing in
hind his promise TO stand aside for
lex Robertson in the coming cam
aign, naturally drift to other prom
&C. breakers. They must, to be con-
istent. But the Lane little fellows are
cry little fellows indeed, when it D
ONES to a showdown. rr
There is a very large element in the
indeed the largest element
the communicated in the Repub-
can party. too-that viii be found to M
old that even a political promise is pr
hiding. Clarence Crabbe says that the {,
herif of Oahu has not kept faith -
ith him.
He told me-" said Crabbe, that he
1ly wanted a vindication, and that
, would not be a candidate again"
That statement stands uncontradict-
I. so far. ''It has never been said
