the iand, they describe a curve up the
side of the coast and cause false
draft of wind that comes very nearly
from the south.
By keeping in too near to the land,
we may suppose that the other yachts
ran into this head wind and were
obliged to tack while the Lurline was
running down the wind swiftly and
surely. 1t is true that Sinclair COW
cred a greater distance than the others,
but this was more than counterbal-
anced by the fair wind and the great
er force of what breeze was blowing.
1t is hard to say, until authentic re-
ports arrive by steamer, just where the
Kamehameha again took the lead over
the Hawaii. 1t was probably some
time during Tuesday night when the

Local politics took on a national all
Yesterday in the around-the-town dis
cussions. Not only was there good
deal of comment on the fact that a
Hawaiian delegate, w. A. Kinney, had
received mention in the mainland pa
pers as a vice presidential possibility
on Bryan s ticket, possibility which
never got beyond the newspaper men
ton, but President Roosevelt, through
his son-in-law, Representative Long
worth, became local issue. Thus, with
talk of Presidents, presidential tickets
and presidential sons-in-law, the fish
market chatter swelled long and loud.
1t seems long cry from the White
House to John Lanes chances for the
mayoralty, but it appears that letter
from Representative Longworth to
Lane bridged the gap. Longworth, 1t
will be remembered, although here for
pleasure, managed to find time to do
a lot of boosting for Taft, and in the
course of his campaign he was intro
duced to Lane as one of the leading
Hawaiian statesmen He sounded Lane
and found that with proper care there
was the making of good Taft dele
gate in the tall and slim Senator.
Every time he got chance he pump
ed Taft doctrine into Lane until the
local man was full of the idea that
there would be great honor in yelling
for Taft at Chicago. The Hawaiian
politician felt all right about it until
the question arose over his chance to
get to Chicago and yell for anybody,
then, opportunely, came a long letter
to Lane from Longworth, telling him
what splash he would make as del
egate.

But such insubordination as this is
considered subversive of all discipline,

is expected to order him sent at once

not been sent because he is one OF

REPRESENTATIVES COMING OUT.

The scouting line of the ambitious
ones for House honors is getting more
and more in evidence. The Twelfth
Precinct of the Fifth has big crop,
Kelekolio, Willie Crawford, Charley
Clark and Lyle Diekey all hailing from
that division. The Ninth has d. Kama
and Harry Aud to present. Auld is
the president of the Kamehameha
Alumni, which is following the lead of
the st. Louis Alumni in getting into
line in politics. In the Seventh, still
of the Fifth, Kalana is out again for
denomination; W. Holi Thornton wants
to run from the Eleventh, and Captain
Nahora Hipa would represent the Thir-
teenth. This gives nine avowed can
didates' from FIVE precincts, without
counting what the other eight may
want to do for favorite sons, and there
are only six to be elected.
Paoo, who represented the windward
side in the last House, has concluded
that he would rather be a Deputy
Sheriff, and is laying his wires accord
ingly.
The Democratic candidates are coy.
Editor Like win probably make anoth-
er run for the House from the Third
of the Fifth, while Mahoe, as a Home
Rule Democrat. will be out in the field
again In the Fourth District, Raw
Inns, Castro, Hughes and Kaleo are
supposed to be all willing, although
there is some talk of trying to get
Rawlins to make try for the shriev-
atty. The Republicans want to get
someone other than Wise to go up
against Jarrett. 1t is figured that Will
liam Henry would be a good candidate
and that Rawlins would be another.
F. A. c. Long, who made his reputa-
tion fighting for the teachers salary
appropriation in the last session, has
an eve on one of the three vacant
Senatorships. and will look for the
nomination from the Fourth. This elec
tion is the turn of the Fourth to nomi-
nate two Senators out of the three for

NEW VERSION Of LANES
THOUSAND DOLLAR TOUCH
RooseveIt's Son-in-Law Wrote Letter That Soon
Opened the Royal purse-PoIitical
Gossip of the Day.

From that time on, according to the
story af1oat, things came easier for
Lane. With the aid of the letter he is
reported to have worked Queen Liliuo-
kalani for expense money and through
her he secured a place on the nomina-
tion. 1t was represented to the Queen
that Lane, through his drag with the
husband of Princess Alice, could force
the indemnity clauses into the Repub-
liean platform and such services would
come cheap at thousand. Her bust
ness agent, Aea, objected strenuously,
but his objections were met by the
arguments of others of the Queen IS
friends, among them relatives of Lane.
So the story goes. Whether this is
the true version, or whether the truth
is as told by Lanes friends, that the
Queen forced the thousand on him and
sent him out in spite of his private
desires not to take her money, the re-
port is around and among the voters
that Lane bilked the Queen, worked a
himfam game and now wants to be
Mayor. That has turned a great many
of the Hawaiians against him and
made his chances to be elected to any
thing this November very slim.
Of certainty the ghost of the thou
sand that Lane went to Chicago on will
meet him at every turn during the
election Taking it has cost him the
support of Prince Cupid, the backing
of most of his friends and the friend
ship of the majority of the Hawaiians.
Whether this is going to help either
Lucas or Hustace is question. They,
with Lane, have been the only ones
very much in the running for the Re-
publican nomination, but the party
nomination does not mean it all. With
Harvey in the field, backed by the Ha-
waiian vote, the Republicans have a
hard combination to go against, one
alternative presented being Charley
Achi, an alternative worse than swal
lowing the Democratic saloonkeeper.
