TOWN TALK
By THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.

! morning InaJ Jnere would be a
special meeting Of the Commo-
ton Committee instanter. ia
thought the Commo Com was dead.
but it appears that the exposure of
the Civic Federation as a Void with a
loud Voice made it necessary to bring
on the Commotioners again to settle
various affairs Of state.
When l arrived there was a fearful
mob at the door made up of all the
political candidates, party men, indie
pendents and hepuDocra oruaindepen
Curtis Iaukea They were yelling to
get in.
We want your endorsement, cried
one.
What does it cost?' asked another.
The Civic Federation endorses rol
One Dollar!" cried a third.
Not to be partial, we let the whole
mob in to take part in the proceeG-
ings.
Kalanianaole, McCandless and Not
ley found a corner and drew straws
to see which should withdraw. II
fell to Kuhio and he said he would
withdraw to Washington. Motley
wept and Link said he wasn't so sure
about that.
Lane, Fern and Acni got into three
cornered scrap as to their respective
merits and Achi changed the subject
800 lot on which a mortgage had
been foreclosed the day before, asking
only $1,000.
Jarrett, Wise and Iaukea were play
ing cards and paying no attention TO
the proceedings which showed no sign
of starting. Everything was going
Jarrett's way; Wises pile looked like
a White Chip and Iaukea was Offering
500 Isoi note to buy into the game
again.
Cathcart, Edings and Carlos Long
were porting over law-books.
Cathcart was studying up cases on
libel. Edings was writing up practice
complaints and Long was noting pre-
cedents on foxes holes and birds
nests.
Won Holt, Trent and Beckley were
counting cash. Won Holt got tired
and drew up plans and specifications
for door-plate with the inscription
City and County Treasurer" Trent
remarked that his old door-plate
would do him again, while Beckley
insisted that Admiral should be in
scribed after the official title and he
wanted little hooks on the sign upon
which to hang his medals.
Chris Holt, Charlie Rose and Bonny
Monsarrat were waiting for the meet
ing to open, Holt wanted to tell every
tcdy about his chances and Rose had
figures to prove his coming election.
Bonny, meanwhile, made a noise like
dark horse.
THE Supervisors will come to or
der!" ordered the Chief Commotioner,
banging the table with a ballot-box.
Immediately the Supervisor candi-
dates of all parties punched near the
front.
Seven will do" yelled the chair
man.
Such a scramble as ensued 1t was
free for all. When the dust cleared
there were, indeed, but seven able to
stand and they were declared elected.
They we're Daniel Logan, Edward
Ingham, Jim Quinn, Andrew Cox, A.
v. Peters, Henry Vida and Kalauoka-
lam Senior.
Cox was sitting on Kealohas head,
choking Kekai with one hand and Da-
Wis with the other. Logan was stand
ing on Silva's chest, Paele scrunched
between his knees, one fist in Nc
Clellan's cravat the other bunch of
knuckles in Kuhia's eye, and his beard
down Crabbe's throat. Jim Quinn
was figuring if he could get the re-
mains in his automobile and charge
them for the ride to the hospital. Ing
ham upined that the leavings would
make swell sausage. Peters yelled
TOT lneSseHSeI' Nlua rams up IhS
Advertiser to break the news and
Senior Kalauokalani at once made a
speech among the slain. NJ. e. Silva
was seen to recover and was allowed
tc revive, that he might bury the dead
He guaranteed to make all look as
natural as life for Sc. 81 per corpse.
Then came the Representative line

school. Joel Cohen led a procession
