DELEGATE

-Are you candidate for Delegate
tn N. a'
TIni lHre.o vls uut directly to w
W. HauIs yesterday The rfr'y ukc-
iy to ho.nr historic. C8mo boo very
fun yo.cc n.ecl
"Not So % you'd notice &c." said Mr.
Harris.
AND that disp0sas ~ one Of the zoe
called "canidntts" Who are said to De-
putting up lines 'o cross the lines of
D0cgatc Kuhio aud abe little L8uc
chaps Mayao b. b. hoped that they
mas. some one 81 them. get "a shock
by Induction.
There were -Four of these candidates
mentioned. besides Mr.. Harris. who
has said thar his wire Is not even a
kitr string at the FIRST mention These
were a. q NJ Robertson Senator
'LiuE" NeCaudless. ANA G. Washing
ton Smith.
NEVER GOT HIS.
Mr.. Robertson Is coy as everybody
knows. but there IS some reason TO
believe that DE would run IL he could
and that he would be nominated too.
II all mon always got all that Is COM
ing 10 them. in politics. The trouble
is. that they do not. Alex never has
got his. although IT Is possible that he
might II he should receive the Repub-
lican nomination IN which event Ku-
hio would run independently.
McCandless. the sage Of Kaneohe. is
not coy. Not bit. Not any more
than any wild bull Of Bashan. And
he says he IS willing to run, If the
planters and the mercantile interests
are willing 10 have him 1t is up TO
them. Charles Achi, TO be sure. says
that the Sage has no more show than
a SNOWFALL at Fort Yuma but Charlie
Is a bad political wof, and moreover
he once jumped over into the Civic
Federation corral and fed on the lambs
there until his chops were all bloody
and until you couldn't have found any
thing left but few bits of wool to
save your life, so nobody will mind
much what he says.
THE MAYOR OF HONOLULU.
As to G. Washington Smith. well.
Mr. Harris says he is not a candidate.
80 as you'd notice it," and II Is much |
70 De feared that G. Wash viii not be I
a candidate 50 as anybody else would /
notice II. or course the First Mayor
learned "A lot in Washington about
parliamentary law ana things. I'm fact
somebody gave him book about It,
realizing the need, and Of course he sat
down with joy and gladness on Sam
Johnson the other day when that cal
tiff road supervisor made the some
what natural error of mistaking him
FOR a clerk instead of n Congressman:
but even the Mayors high and exalt-
ed notion of the Job he has now and
that Brother Jim Quinn could not get,
will not land him in Washington as
4 member OF the body one of whose
committees he was once permitted to
address. Not by a long dose of rat
poison, it won't.
Not" to quote the apt phrase which
Mr.. Harris uses In an altogether diff
ferent connection, 80 as you'd notice
it,"
1t takes votes to elect Delegate,
and there Is reason for the suppostion
that when II came to votes G. Wash
fngton Smith would be found to be
shy.
WATCHING EVERYBODY.
This race for Delegate, by the way, |
II even beginning to overshadow the |
county fght-and It takes something
to do that. because II is the county that /
has the jobs to give out, and most I
nen In politics in Hawaii are not in |
IL for their health. This is about the .
most notorious field for spoils politics |
yet remaining omen in the United .
