MAKING FIGURES.
There were some calculations made
yesterday and comparisons drawn with
a view to getting to the possible ma
jority Brown or Iaukea may get. A
Brown runner came III lTO!H the OlleI
side of the island yesterday morning
and reported that in Koolau the vote
will be nearly even and in Koolaupoko
Iaukea will have a majority over
Brown. 1t is possible that the vote in
Koo1au will be favorable to Iaukea. At
Waianae the Democrats will poll a ma
jority and, it is said, that Chris Holt
will go by the board. 1t seems to be
that the vote this year will be below
the vote of the last election. A num-
Der of persons have left the city since
the board of registration met and the
vote will naturally be smaller. Of the
sixty Portuguese who left on the Ko-
rea fourteen were voters. Besides there
were number of people who went
away who will return later.
PAST ELECTIONS.
In the Brown-Henry-Poepo election
there We're 5035 votes cast for Sheriff,
and of these 231S were Brown votes. $50
for Henry and Poepoe got 1856. In Ho-
nolulu proper Brown received 194S
Henry GAS and Poepoe 1911 Rumor has
it that the Home Rule vote will go to
Brown, but from good source it is
learned that such a statement is for
campaign purposes only. In the 1903
election, when Iaukea beat Pratt by 234
votes, he got the most Of his support
from the Fifth District. where he polled
IVA to Pratt's $50, but in the Fourth
Pratt Outvoted Iaukea ia. There seems
to be no doubt that Iaukea will draw
a number of white votes from the
Fourth and cut down Brown where he
got the most last time.
Sheriff was so much heavier than the
other county officers. For instance:
The total vote cast for Sheriff was 5O34,
while that for County Clerk. Auditor
and Treasurer ran only to 1890 and the
vote for Attorney WIS only 400.
Charlie Achi is holding his labor vote
pretty well together. and as a good
many of that hui came from the Home
Rulers it is not a cinch that Brown will
get them all. Achi and Brown are not
over friendly, and there is no reason
why he should influence his men to go
20 one he does not look upon in a
friendly way
