WITH The
POLITICIANS
Iaukea and Jones Are
Among Uncertain
Quantities.

Nothing doing" said the Leader of
the Fifth. After a great unheaval
there is always lul1, and that is what
we are going through now. The men
who want to be delegates to the con-
ventfon are pulling wires and the men
who want to be candidates for election
are engaged in the same occupation. I
have nothing to say as to the outcome
| of the agreement the committee ar
rived al last Friday, but I have no
/ doubt it will be kept by the voters of
the Fourth District"
AS a matter of fact, things in the
political line are extremely quiet at
| this time. The Lane candidate for Su-
pervisor to beat Sam Dwight has come
| into the open and will be in the run
ming as far as the convention is con-
| cerned Beyond that only the candi-
date and Lane will venture an opin-
as to the Sheriffs place. He has
feeling at times that prompts him to
come out and be a real candidate and
then something whispers to him to hold
and the companions of both are of the
opinion that Curtis would not run if
Jarrett would intimate a desire for the
place. But Curtis is growing so strong
among the Democrats that he may not
be able to hold back against the
wishes Of his friends. Down around
the E'ishmarket it is all Iaukea, and It
was said on Sunday that there We're at
least three hundred recruits to the ,
cause of the Democratic candidate.
JONES NOT CERTAIN.
There is very little talk about Jones,
and there will be less after Saturday
night, when the delegates are elected.
There are states and states, but even
in the Second of the Fourth the Col
onel will not allow his name to be
mentioned as possible
candidate.
You may keep your eye on Henry
Vida's precinct next Saturday and note
the result" said Fifth District man.
1--WE will skin him or skin Brown. The
PEOPLE will not stand for both and [
know what 1 am talking about. I
understand some of Sam Johnson s, en-
ployes are hard at work for Achi's
ticket, in spite of the fact that they
are supposed to be faithful to the man
who puts them in a position to earn
living. It's a cinch that Brown does
not want Vida
AT Hauula there were no nominal
tions, it is said, Notwithstanding the
number of women and children who
We're present 1t is possible that some
~ Iox will
to make nominations next Sat-
urday night and elect the delegates the
same night This plan will hardly
stand and any such election would, be
declared null and void.
MAY BE A SCRAP.
It is believed there Will be very lit
tie doing beyond the usual of such
affairs in most of the precincts Satur-
day night. There will be hard battles
in the Seventh and Ninth of the Fifth
and there may be an attempt to spill
the ballots in order to interfere with
the result. This is believed to be the
plan of the Vida faction, but the other
side will be prepared for any such con-
tingency. "An we want is to have
them try it, said a Seventh Precinct
man, and you will hear something drop
We want a fair deal, whether for Vida
or anyone else, and if there is any at
tempt at violence someone is going to
be hurt. Tt win be up to the Sheriff
to keep his men at a respectable dis
lance from the polling booth to come
in when they are requested to do so"
MOTLEY AND CRABBE.
Charlie Motley says he did not be-
lieve the first report that Crabbe had
retired but he does now and he can
not understand why he should do so
unless it is because Achi grew tired Of
his disappointing him when it came to
holding meetings. He thinks Crabbe
was uncertain as to his position and
was afraid that if he appeared at the
