WALLACH' G|BEs
. PLEASING TO ACH|

One of the most tickled men in Ho-
nolulu at the roasting that was handed
out to Delegate Kalanianaole, and Sen
ators Chillingworth and Lane on Sat
urday night from the platform in Aala
park by J. Lor Wallach is Charley
Achi- He was bubbling over with JOY
all day Sunday and yesterday at the
way the female rock specialist rounded
on the leaders of that wing of Re-
publicanism which had taken the Wal
lach matter out of Notley's hands and
secured favorable vote from the
Board of Health.
Achi has taken no part in the Wal
ZACH mess. He says himself it is be-
cause it is cardinal principle with
him to studiously avoid bringing the
question of leprosy into politics. Others
OF the politicians say Achi has taken
no part because he wasn't asked to
and because they wouldn't let him,
but whatever the reason may be he
has kept out.
"And what good have Cupid and
Chillingworth and Lane and those fell
lows got out of itl' asked Achi yes
terday. Here they have been tag
ging around after Wallach and working
him so that the Hawaiians will swing
around to them, and now Wallach goes
and Dumps the whole bunch. You should
have heard him Saturday night. 1t
was great.
For myself, I have never believed
that that Wallach could do any good
and / have never eountenaneed him.
At no time have ever made any such
promises to the Hawaiians as Lane
and Chillingworth have. telling them
on the stump that they would go into
the Legislature and vote to stop send
ing people to Molokai. 1 knew that
such promises could not be kept and
consequently 1 never asked for votes
on such grounds. Whenever l propose
something, some line of policy, always
see before 1 speak, that it is possible.
Some of the things l have advocated
have been the cause OF blame being
given me. but no one has ever said that
have promised to do anything that
could ,not be done, like those fellows
are DOING
In the meanwhile, in his own little
circle, the Achi boom for Mayor is
swirling and every day the labor leader
sees himself nearer the goal of his
great ambition. Three or four times
week meetings are held in his house
among the faithful, called in great
secrecy and attended by stealth, the
mystery which surrounds them being
necessary to get the boys in line for
an organization of the Fifth. So far
none of the enthusiasm for Aehi has
been allowed to escape the Fourth nor
very far into the Fifth, being bottled
up carefully around ss4 North King
street. Anyone who thinks that Achi
agrees with the statements made that
he is a has-been is reckoning without
his host.
NO ALLIANCE WITH ACHI.
The report that the Chillingworth-
Lane faction has made an overture of
to Achi, delegating John
Wise 20 bear the olive branch, is
Ienied Indignantly by the members Of
hat portion of the Republican party
which gathers on Kaahumanu street.
Ally ourselves with Achi?'' said
Chillingworth. Never in a thousand |
Years. We would rather be beaten |
With good men on our ticket than win |
~ the help OF the Achi crowd. We /
hink It is time now for the young Ha-
vaiians to put up their best men for |
,ffice, men in whom the business ele-
nent of the community can have con-
idence and whom they can support,
lot Hawaiians whose names are view
d with suspicion and in whose support
We cannot expect the decent element
o come
81 am not running for anything at
his election, but I am working to see
hat the Republican ticket is one for
which we will have nothing to hide
nd of which we can truthfully say
hat It contains the names of good,
men,"
DEMOCRATS RESTING EASY.
whipper-ir Harry Mossman, of the
Democratic party. smiles when the
question Of politics comes up To
ave the party in the eyes of those who
an be led by Wallachism he has TAX
n an active share in the work of the
Committee of Ten, siding in with the
healer in the various rows that have
developed. In this he has shown great
eal Of strategy without showing his
Democracy into the firing line Other
wise he is keeping quiet.
1T Is too early yet to fuss" he said
II may be that those who are firing
heir big guns now will find themselves
ut of ammunition when the real
crimmage starts. We are quietly let
ing things go along. The Democrats
n office are proving TO the voters that
II the brains and honesty do not be-
ong to the Republicans and that the
.andidates we have put up and will
,ut on the coming ticket are men in
