Chamber is regarded with more or less
alarm. 1t is thought that two or all
of them should reenter the House,
where experienced men will be needed.
They cannot all be spared, especially
in view of the fear that Hawaii viii
this time send down bunch that will
be headed by KanihO and follow in his
webbing footsteps. Holstein win prob.
ably be back but the others are nm
certain quantities, while there will
probably be majority of new members
from Kauai. That island last session
had a good delegation and it is hoped
that at least Rice and Coney will be
sent again, but this is also uncertain
At any rate Oahu cannot afford to
have all its best men stand out or go
into the Senate. H.
The County Committee.
Strong hopes are being expressed
that the county committee will be
cleaned up as thoroughly and as salts
faetorily as the Central Committee has
been and the prospects are bright. 1t
has been suggested that the following
slate be brought up in the convention,
with the prospect of passing it as the
officers. The slate is: R. w. Shingle,
chairman; G. F. Chillingworth, vice
chairman: Clarence Cooke, treasurer.
and Eli Crawford, secretary No ex.
ception can be taken to any of those
named for the various positions.
Convention Chairman.
A whisper, which originated in the
Ach camp, has been waited around
that George Nawaakoa, of Waipahu,
should be named as temporary chair
man of the convention when it assem-
bles on Saturday, with the hope that
the appointment might be made per
manent. Nawaakoa is the man the SUI
pervisors had to fire from his position
as road supervisor of Eva and who
threatened to come back as a County
Supervisor himself and even up. The
names Of two other good men have also
been suggested, either of whom would
be acceptable. These are Hon. s. p
Correa and Hon. A. S. Kaleiopu Both
are from the Fifth, which this year
has the naming of the temporary and
permanent chairmen of convention.
The Ambitious Fifth.
The Fifth has no lack of candidates
to propose. There are six Representa-.
tives to elect and a fight will be made
by the city delegates for the privilege
of naming four of these, leaving two
for the country precincts. instead of
three and three as has been the divi7
sion before. For these four nomina.
tons there are already fourteen men
in the field, from which it is equally
easy to pick good quartet and
mighty bad one. The ambitious once
are: Harry J. Aud, Frank F. Fernan-
dez, D. Kama and George Kaea, from
the Ninth Precinct; Charley Holoua,
Hon. Jas. Kalana and Eli Crawford.
from the Seventh; Hon. A. $. Kaleiopu
if he does not run for the Senate. from
the Tenth: Hon. S p Correa. from the /
Eleventh.; Charley Clark, Willie Craw
ford. Charles KanekOa and b. II. Kele-
koIio. from the Twelfth. and Captain
Nahora Hipa, from the Thirteenth
1t is expected that the number from
the Twelfth will be cut down by half
before Saturday 4 couple of the vel
low dogs having been canned. Willie
Crawford has had great light and has
about decided that perhaps after all
he really ism t wanted by decent men.
He may accordingly be scratched Off
the list Charley Clark has also had
reason TO suddenly alter his mind late
". In the first place he has recently
become related, through marriage. with
Jarrett. the Democrat nominee prospec-
tive for sheriff. and that helped. while
