ORGANIZED
DEMOCRATS
Make a Better Front
Than Ever Have
Before.

''The Democratic party is better
organized for this campaign than 1t
has ever been before in Hawaii" said
a Republican yesterday morning as
Curtis Iaukea passed by. at seems
to have come to them that we have
been busy for several years and that
it is our complete organization that
has won the victory. Willie Kinney
has always been more or less active
but it has rested mainly with him and
the men elected by the Democrats were
successful on account of the poor OPP
position put up against them. l am
not going to say anything against the
candidates this year, | mean those put
up by them, but I viii say, that If
any of them are weak the improved or
ganization of the party will help out
tremendously. One of the hackers said
to me the other night, in answer to a
question as to whether it was to be q
Republican victory, that it would de
pend upon how many citizens were anti
Brown. He intimated that it was al
ways difficult matter TO fight cor
rupt machine that would use money
and liquor to win the fight. He even
went further and said he believed the
police machine was using both.
JARRETT IS STILL HUNT.
Willie Jarrett is making the stillest
kind of a campaign and will no doubt
show that he is a better man than Vida
Jarrett is a great friend of the Hawai-
ians, while Vida is not. He is bust
| ness man with a good record which
| Vida is not and has not All OF the
good points in the makeup of the Dem
| ocratic candidate for the Office are be
| ing analysed by his Hawaiian friends
| and they are being used by them in his
| feeling that If the Home Rulers had
put UP a candidate for Sheriff it would
be better for Iaukea for the reason
/ that there are so few members OF tna1
party on this island that it would be
just so many votes from Brown VIII !:
they will probably vote for the incum
bent if they have no candidate of then
own for the Office.
| But the Hawaiians, regardless OF
| party, are getting wise to the way tc
! do things and there is a feeling spread
| ing among them that it would be good
sense to get hold of the Sheriff s of
| fee and by administering it well, KEEP
| it indefinitely, just as they are doing
with the delegateship to Congress. Once
they get an important office and show
| that they can run it faithfully, II
| would be impossible to dislodge them
/ from it-and no reason to try. Thi;
sentiment is working powerfully among
| the native voters of all parties and
Iaukea is getting votes by it day by
| day. 1t is not precisely a color line
| movement but desire to prove that
| the Hawaiian is qualified to hold his
share of the higher offices and is not
| to be kept down to manual labor jobs
! elerkships and other inferior positions
| Harvey is not hopeful nor has he al
together lost hope of his election, but
his friends say they do not expect tic
land against machine candidate
/" Harris is Brown all the way from
nomination to polls,'' said one of then
yesterday, ''and it is hard to beat {
| machine as well-oiled as the one rur
| by the Sheriff s Office. Harris is a GOOD
man but there is that against him anC
so long as the Sheriff has in the BoarC
of Supervisors enough members to vote
him the nine or ten thousand dollars &
month to pay for the hire of a lot OF
politicians called sleuths it viii be HARD
to get a change -
