CANT PA|GN To
Be STARTED
Tonight's AaIa Meeting Looked
Upon as Opening of the
Fight.

The Democrats will begin their cam
evening at Aala park, meeting called
to ratify the action of the Hawaiian
delegates at the Denver convention.
The band will be on hand to fill in
the intervals and the Democrats expect
to have a crowd present big enough
to give their party prominence locally
which it has heretofore lacked at the
beginning of any Territorial fight.
The best the party has to offer in the
way of public speakers are to be on
the platform, some of them new to local
politics E. NJ. Watson and Frank
Harvey will tell all about the cheering
record in the Mountain City, Judge
Edings and Colonel Mccarthy will talk
politics from the local Democratic stand
point and Judge Quarles, who has the
reputation of being a finished speaker,
will explain the broader issues of the
campaign.
This meeting will mark the opening
of the fight in the Territory, and, with
the fact that the Democrats have put
aside their usual custom of waiting to
see what the other fellow was going to
do and have announced their precinct
primaries and conventions for dates
earlier than the Republicans, seems to
point out that the party of the minority
intends to force the fighting. 1t is
generally conceded on all sides that
the Democrats are better organized and
are hanging together better than the
Republicans this time and they appear
- 10 IN Taia bni
though certain of its strength.
The Republicans are divided amongst
themselves. There are clique and fac
tiOn-fgnts going on and in addition
there is a suspicion apparently well
founded that some of their prospective
candidates are already making diekers
for support with the enemy and pre-
pairing to trade vote for vote. This has
weakened the organization, although
the active campaigns being carried on
for the nomination for the Mayoralty
by Hustace and Lucas are doing good,
inasmuch as they are stirring the party
up to certain extent.
1t is rather singular that there are
so few candidates talked of among the
Democrats. With their precinct meet
ings only two weeks off there are fewer
than half a dozen mentioned for the
many county ana territorial ORceS.
Link McCandless, of course, will be
after the delegateship and is quoted
as stating his assurance in the outcome
of the campaign. His alleged assur-
anee has led to the belief that he has
some inside information that Cupid will
not be out against him and a silly story
has been put into circulation that a
deal has been fixed up for Cupid to
retire in McCandlpsS' favor just as
silly a story and just as true was the
report little while ago that Cupid
was going to boost Iaukea into the
delegateship.
The name of Jarrett for sheriff is
regarded among the majority of the |
party men in about the same way as
the Republicans receive the name of |
Wise, with the hope that something
better will turn up. Judge Edings for
County Attorney is mentioned without
anv definiteness and the run for the /
deputy sheriffshiP so far appears to

THE TWELFTH WAS 4
VERY QUIET HOLIDAY

Yesterdays holiday gave Honolulu a
Sabbath appearance so far as deserted
downtown streets were concerned, while
there was an equal absence of people
at the parks, at the beach and at the
other places where Honolulans gather.
All day the street cars ran light and
last night the Orpheum and the moving
picture shows played to half empty
houses.
Everybody stayed at home excepting
few of the most ardent canvassers
in politics and they had hard work
finding anyone to convince about the
corners The fact that the day opened
in sultriness happily very rare at the
crossroads and ended up in drizzling
rain accounted very probably for the
funereal stiffness of the metropolis.
added to which was the fact that thss
sports and many others of the town
were making merry on Maui and Ha-
waii.
There was nothing doing all day
around the courts or in the govern
ment departments, the only officials
who appeared for duty being Marshal
Hendry, Superintendent Babbitt and
Collector Drake. In the morning the
Hawaiian band played patriotic airs in
the Capitol grounds, on the spot where,
ten years ago, the same band had
played "Ameriea - as the national
anthem of these Islands for the first
time. The band played in the evening
on the roof garden of the Young Hotel,
until driven away by the rain, while
there. was much music and dancing at
the Seaside
Yesterday was a good day for every
one to stay at home and loaf, and all
who could do so did so.

There is some talk of the government
purchasing the Spreekels tug Fearless
and sending the boat back to Honolulu
to work on the Pearl Harbor develop
ment. The Fearless was used here for
several years by the Spreckels com
pany in general towing business. She
was replaced by the Intrepid, a smaller
and less costly boat to maintain.
