DAYS CROP OF
POLITICAL RUMOR


each day it would seem that the situa-
ton is becoming more and more COM
] plicated and hazy. 1t would seem now
that only a big scrap viii clear the
air and put the party in fighting line
( for the clash with the Democrats and
Home Rulers. Some few days ago the
cute ones all talked Wise for sheriff,
Then Rawhns had his day and now
, comes along another possibility, Char
ley Chilliugworth, once deputy sheriff
and now one of the leaders in the Lane
wing. He is supposed TO have hitched
his wagon to 1senberg's star and to
be assured of the nomination, while
the leader on the ticket is TO be Isen-
berg.
just where this will leave Lane,
whose greatest touter for mayor. Chill
lingworth has been so far, can not be
figured out. Just for the present Lane
has gone behind cloud, but it is a
long Lane that has no turning and his
turn at the head of the rumor brigade
may come at any time.
A. l.. c. Atkinson, who will have to
submit to be called "Jack" again, is
also supposed to be planning in the
depth of the Judd building for the
launching of boom. Jimmy Boyd,
who has been rather snubbed of late
by some of the ones he worked the
wards with, is limiting pretty broadly
that he has an Atkinson boom under
his hat and ready to let it go at first
convenient opportunity. Jack, it will
be remembered, was the first in the field
with a silver cup for the Kakaako
baseball league, now reehristened the
Atkinson league, beating Charley Hus-
taee into the cup game by a good lap.
He is also one of the biggest rooters
on the side lines in Atkinson park, in
every Sunday. and there are
those mean enough to insinuate that
Jack has had his eye on the Kakaako
vote just as much as on the Kakaako
SeoreDOard.
Jack Lucas is letting no grass grow
under his feet either, and being fur
Their into the field than the others
and less retieent about his ambitions
is getting the promises of lot of sup
port in his candidacy. He will go into
the convention with the backing of a
good many.
The supposed ambition of Chilling
worth has forced Isenberg's name int
the street corner discussions very |
again. 1t was generally |
supposed that he had decided 10 keep |
out of the ring, but this early in the |
game there is time for change of |
mind over and over again.
Hustace is saying little, but it may |
De taken for granted that the taste
lie has had of sitting in the big chair !
las not proved unpleasant for him and /
hat the sound of the title mayor is
even better than of chairman. His
attitude on the campaign question so
ar has been Sphinxlike.
This gives Lane, Atkinson, Isenberg,
Lucas and Hustace to be discussed,
lot to mention Dwight, Achi and a
tring of others who have been at one
ime or another mentioned for the five
thousand dollar job.
A. VI. Brown, supposed to be polisi-
ally dead, has been resurrected by
ONE of his friends and his name
oupled again with that of the shriev-
lily. Just what this is for only the
mes behind the scenes seem to know.
Certainly it cannot be serious. With
Wise and Chillingworth to pull for the
Hawaiian vote and with the Fourth
istrict back of the present sheriff, the
eader of the old police machine is
roaming vain dreams if he supposes
hat there will ever again be chance
1r him. Vida might just as we'll come
Ut. But if Chillingworth gets in
rown may have Taylor's place
In the Supervisorial crop are a num-
ct of new ones. Jim Quinn has al
lady been mentioned and Walter Dill
ngham is being urged to be again a

The Republicans are not so busy
it'll their own affairs but what they p.

lie Democratic possibilities. With so ,
any factions developing within their
