HEARD On
THE HIGHWAY
Some Aftermath of the
Big Day of
Voting.

ballots Tuesday varied according to the
intelligence of the man. In one of
the precincts one Hawaiian occupied
fifteen minutes and another forty five.
In another a white man, a straight
ticket individual, supposedly, was if
teen minutes in the booth There was
little or no interference with them, no
matter how long they stayed in. Sew
eral of the watchers around different
polling places reported the indication
for a straight ticket was all right but
A. V. Gear said the Seventh of the
Fourth was cutting badly. ''To tell
the truth no one knows how it is GO
ing. We are sure that in many in
stances the men who say they have
voted straight took the other side to
certain extent
SLASHING CANDIDATES.
In the Ninth of the Fourth, there
was a good deal of supposed cutting
during the day and some disorder. The
active police officer on duty in the
morning drove off a Hawaiian who was
soliciting votes or at least directing
the people in line how to mark their
tickets. The police officer drove the
man away but a few minutes later
Brown came on the scene with two
others and marched along the line from
voter to voter telling them how to vote
Al, y,
remained mute That was the precinct
where the slight disorder occurred.
Harry Murray was out with Vida
making the rounds of the polling booths
in an auto and the Sheriff would oeca-
sionally appear at the different booths
anxiously inquiring as to the situation.
Before the count was finished Murray
remarked that there was still hope and
when the end came he bobbed up
serenely with the remark off we are
beaten we will be true sports
Willie Jarrett came down King street
while the returns were coming in and
was hauled around by friends who
wished to show their good feeling. His
fine majority was a surprise to those
who had not known him well. 1t had
been whispered that Vida was even
stronger than Brown and yet the count
showed him weaker everywhere. lau-
kea took his election quietly as a man
who felt that there was still a chance
to lose but in the event of a recount he
had the feeling that his majority would
be greater than at first blush.
There was very little of the crooked
work found out. Down Kakaako way
Charlie Rose found a man putting In
sample ballot in the box and carry
ing away an official one to be used as
a model for the ignorant voter in x,e
precinct controlled by Sam johnson.
Think of that. Rose is keeping the
ballot as a souvenir and, perhaps, as
evidence. Up in the Eleventh of the
Fifth quiet reigned all day. Fifteen
of the County, six of the Representa-
tive, eight of the Senatorial and three
ballots for Delegate were thrown out.
There were fifteen straight Republican
ballots cast and quite number of those
bearing the names of Smith and Nc
Carthy on them. This shows that the
Civic Federation had strength up there. |
MOORE GOES DOWN.
The defeat of Moore was something |
of surprise. He made a good fight |
and it was thought he would be a sure
winner. He attributes his failure sole |
Iy to the efforts of Charlie Achi. "Achi |
is the new leader in the Fifth,'' he |
said, "and you can make up your mind |
to a change From another source |
came the expression that Johnson
would 90 out and Hawaiian be put in |
his place McCandless' fall was not |
a surprise to the voters. One
man, Moore, remarked on the corner |
yesterday. "McCandless was beaten at |
10Th ends. He lost the fight against |
Archer and he lost his own battle. And
t settles Jim Low as a leader in the
precinct. -
