| REPUBLICAN POLITICS.
| In considering the Maui political stu
alton just prior to the approaching
Republican conventions one thing
seems remarkable, that county politics
overshadow in Importance legislative
political affairs. Candidates for the
legislature. are few and not over
anxious in their candidacy while on
! the other hand there will be no diff
Guilty in making nominations for SUPER
visors and other county officers.
In Hama district Hon w. p. Haia, in
stead of seeking reelection to the leg
islature, is working for the Republic
can nomination for supervisor. and he
and Postmaster Omsted have been con-
Quoting a strenuous campaign in order
to obtain the desired prize. In the
meantime no prominent candidate for
legislative honors has appeared
Hon. George Copp of Kula states that
another term in the legislature Is too
much of a luxury for him, but he would
run for supervisor of Makawao In case
T. NJ. Church should withdraw from
the field.
Hon. Philip Pail of Lahaina after
much persuasion has at last consent
ed to run again for the legislature and
the Lahaina county delegates will
come to Wailuku pledged to him and
for the reelection of Sheriff VIM. SAT-
ferry.
On Molokai ex-Representative Joel
Nakaleka will probably be nominated
for representative inasmuch as he will
have the Endorsement of the local pre-
cinct clubs. 1t is stated that $50 citi-
zens residing in the Settlement have
signed petition in favor of Nakaleka, |
and then Hon. Moses Nakuna. the last
representative, has removed to Homo
lulu.
In Wailuku, in case Hon. w. j.
Coelho is nominated for senator, there
is no declared candidate for the lower
house.
Hon. John Kalino of Paia will prob
ably be nominated again. Enos VIM
cent of Paia and B. p. Manoanoa of
Kula have been spoken of as possible |
candidates but are not eager in the |
matter.
The candidates for senator have mar
rowed down to three, Hon. S. Kelii- |
moi Hon. w. ]. Coelho and H. NJ.
Coke.
Most--if not all-of the present coun- |,
ty officers will be nominated to run for
a second term.
In Wailuku several good men are
talked of as candidates for supervisor
Hon. S. f. Kaiue, r. A. Wadsworth |
and r. w. Filler. For deputy sheriff, |
Ed. Rogers, the sheriff's clerk, is men, /
toned as strong candidate but 1t is !
doubtful whether he would consent to '
run. Chas. Lake and Clement Crowell !
have published their intentions of run
ming. If nominated by the Republicans,
but 1t is a question II either of them |
could beat the veteran politician and /,
Home Ruler, Tom Clark
Hon. S. f. Kalama, the Republican |
campaign manager, states that the
Republican party of Maui, in spite of
some local troubles. is fully as strong |
as two years ago and will succeed at
the polls in November provided good
men are nominated.
1t is to be noted that many Home
Rulers signed the rolls and voted in
the Republican primaries all over the
island.
The precinct clubs of Wailuku dis
trict (of Wailuku, Waihee, Kihei and
Puunene) will entertain the visiting ,
delegates to the Republican territorial
convention held at Wailuku tomorrow. >
There will be lunch served in the X.
of p. hall and luau in the armory |
after the convention.
The result OF elections of delegates
to territorial and district and county ,
conventions held last Saturday by Maui
precinct Republican clubs is as follows:
