Observation-Disclosures evidenced in the
lconduet OF the department under its
present head. and the strict enforce
iment Of all laws for its repression.
We denounce the Board of Supervi-
sOrs for the embarrassing given both
1.-The Sheriff and Road Supervisor after
lhavirg determined specific misconduct
sof their duties, and we pledge our ev-
Ferry assistance to the Democratic ele-
iment in our next Legislature in entire
lily abohshing the Territorial road de-
Ipartment. placing this service with the
Icounties where il rightly belongs.
We denOunce those provisions of the
County Act whereby the apportion-
tment of Supervisors for this County is
tmade such as to prevent the equal
representation of the electors in that
body. BY the terms of the Act the 1st
Supervisor District with a total of $3.50
ivotes; the End District with total of
275 votes and the 3rd with a total of
1881 votes. each elected one Supervisor;
the total collective votes of the three
successful candidates amounting to
/ 553-the district of Kona or Honolulu
with more than 1000 votes being forced
Ito collectively elect its three supervi-
iSOrS-at-large within the district; a
condition that puts in the shade all
the methods of gerrymander that made
Ipolitics odious in some states twenty or
more years ago.
| We demand a redistricting of this
lcounty making all the supervisors to-
represent as near an equal proportion
of the electors as precinct boundaries

IAUKEA FOR SHERIFF.
When the call for nominations for
Sheriff was made. Fourth District
man nominated Curtis Iaukea. He
Twas chosen by a rising vote. and three
ringing cheers were given.
sUPERVISOR-AT-L
A. Fernandez and Frank R. Harvey
We're nominated for Supervisor-at-
Large.
I
the Fifth District was allotted the priv
iege of naming the Supervisor-at-
Large and one Supervisor for the dis
trict of Honolulu. He said if the con-
tract was to be carried out. he was
ready to hear from the Fifth to that
effect.
1t was suggested that the roll of the
Fifth be called and each make public
his choice,
Mr.. Kinney wanted t0 know how this
could be? He was not willing that the
Fourth should be shut out. Mr.. Iaukea
said the caucus could not bind the con-
Tention until the convention gave the
Fifth the right to select the Supervi-
He therefore moved that
the decision of the caucus be referred
TO the convention to decided whether
that compact should be carried out
FERNANDEZ WOULD RESIGN.
At this point it was understood that
if Harvey made a fight on the matter, ;
Fernandez would resign.
E,nmeuth then read the compact OF
the caucus This showed agreement,
in the apportioument of officers, TO
give the Fifth the selection of the Su- 7

Kinney said he would not like to see 7
any clash. especially between two lead 7
ars of the party, and especially the ,
Fifth. He said that he understood /
from Mr.. Fernandez personally that =
the caucus meant the Supervisor-at-
Large nomination for himself Ger ;

that in voting to sustain or reject the =
compact of the caucus, to remember .
that harmony was intended above all
things.
PLEDGED TO FERNANDEZ. 1
Sam Kaloa said the caucus appor- )
toned two supervisors for the Fourth [
District, two to the fifth and the Su-
oervisor- and Fernandez was
chosen for the latter office. The motion l
IF the Fourth District would make it y
1umiliating to the Fifth which acted y
IN good faith at the caucus. He asked I
he Fourth not to go back on the
caucus agreement.
