in favor of bucking the ticket except
in extreme cases and this seems to me
TO be one of them. You will find lots
of changes in the affairs of the CITY
after election"
/ HAWAII FIGHT.
Up in Hawaii there will be a fight
for the office of County ATTORNEY.
Charlie Williams wants it, John Z.
Smith Graves it and the planters want
Carl S. Smith to have the place The
power behind the other powers, up
there, is stephen Desha, and he says he
will not give his support to any of them
He was asked by John u. to help
him and one of the influential men of
the district went to him for his sup
port of Carl S. but he turned down
both and will probably aid w. S. Wise,
who was defeated by Williams last
election. Albert Horner is responsible
for the statement that Carl Smith will
win hands down but from the other
side of the island comes the word that
the west will go for Wise.
The double column head lines in the
Bulletin yesterday announcing that the
business men found the ticket very
satisfactory were not borne out in the
text. For instance L. Tenney Peck, E.
I. Spalding and VIII Thompson are the
only ones who endorse platform and
ticket. j. f. Morgan, J. P. Cooke and
E. d. Tenney declined to express an
opinion on either. Alex. Garvie is
satisfied with those candidates with
whom he is acquainted but admits
that there is a number he has not yet
met. F. J. Lowrey and Cecil Brown do
not shout expressions of satisfaction,
except with two or three candidates,
SO loud that their voices would be heard
on the veranda if the door was open
and C. H. Cooke seems to give faint
praise to the candidates only. But in
his case the platform is satisfac-
tory. evidently.
Some forgetful Democrat asked the
other day when the reform Republicans
had ever been of aid to the Democrats.
That's an easy one. In the last county
election they elected two Democrats,
Trent and Moore-though the latter
was a poor investment enough--in
place of Booth and Quinn. Both the
latter candidates were stoutly opposed
by the Advertiser and the Civic FEEDER
alton. Twelve hundred votes were
pplled against Brown, the Republican
nominee for Sheriff, four hundred of
which We're thrown out as defective.
But Tor the fOOfDacn IndI Henry ndu
withdrawn. which the Brown men
started simultaneously at all the polling
places. the anti-Brown Republican
vote would have hardly fallen below
eighteen hundred This year the Re
publican opposition to Brown has vast
ly increased. despite the attempt of
two or three reputable Republicans who
want the machines help, now or here
after, to stem the tide.
There was a rumor around town yes
terday which brought Cecil Brown into
notice as a candidate for the Senate.
Among the intimates of the gentleman
the rumor scarcely had a listener for
they believed that the last campaign
he had gone through. quite discouraged
him from any similar work at this
time.
Col. Jones is authority for the state
ment that Mr.. Brown denied all in
tention of becoming a candidate during
this campaign. His presence lin the
convention hall last Friday with NJ.
2. Robinson gave rise to a suspicion
that they We're on hand in case there
was demand for their services
candidates Until election day there
will no doubt be many rumors similar
to these.
Toma Abe the ex-poIiceman. many
times suspended from the force for
cause and taken on again, has emerged
from his retirement and was seen on
the streets yesterday in rafment of an
exceeding gladness, doing politics for
Brown
A jehu for the patrol wagon has been
put on this week. He is a vote driver
Of more than ordinary ability. His
skill with the ribbons is not SO we'll
