business on a two years position at
$4,000 with the vicissitudes of politics
to reckon with for another term. This
accounts to some extent for the lack
of candidates.
Charles Hustace Jr., one of the as
pirants for a nomination, this morning
answered with some heat the PROPOSE
ton made in reference to the business
mems move to put up Morgan, that
the town needed a mayor who would
be an entertainer and an older man
than the present supervisors chair
man.
II claim to have shown that can
handle the job" said Hustace. The
county has made a good record during
the past two years and if had any
part in getting the good results, lit
has been an education that has taught
me how things should be run. l feel
that | can do the work. The talk
about entertaining and all that is rot
The mayor will have to be very busy
indeed with the public business of the
office, and Honolulu needs mayor
who will buckle down and do the work
They talk of wanting good men to
come out in politics and run for Of
flee. l claim to be fit candidate and
know | can do the work and | am out
plainly and openly for the job"
Achi was present during a part of
this deliverance~, Il told Morgan
would support him" said Achi, though
| suppose that would mean that the
Chamber of Commerce would withdraw
its support from him." AS Achi had
but a few days before come out as
supporting Hustace, his apparent will
ingness to switch might be taken as
considerably discounting the Hustace
support promise.
Achi denies the published statement
that Wise yesterday found the two
Coxes in his Office, one of them sign
ing the roll of the Labor Party. There
isn't any roll of the Labor party in
existence yet he said. Cox was in
my Office on law matter, as a client"
1t appears that both of the leading
Republican candidates for mayor are
very confident. Things are going all
right said Hustace.
Got Gead cincn," is about the
way Jack Lucas puts it.
The situation is much complicated
hN- tho Ubue;,,ose ,,,or,c,, ,,,,D,,o,,,o,,+., - ,
exposed in the effort to bring out J..
F. Morgan. 1t appears that there is
an influential coterie of local men who
don't want any of the candidates so
far named. With Morgan ready to
flourish a doctors certificate that he
can't run, if they press him, they are
considering other names and may soon
spring new one. ., $3.50"
Aside from the mayoralty, the mu-
nicipal ticket is regarded as fairly
easy to forecast in many departments.
Kalauokalani will probably be the
Republican nominee for city and coun-
ty clerk, with an almost certain pros
pect of reelection.
For County Attorney, John w. Cath
cart has the lead, and his nomination
is extremely probable, though there
has been some talk of Long. The
Republicans will win this office, think
the politicians.
Auditor Bicknell is another Office
holder who has good chance of stay
ing where he is.
In the Office of treasurer, Trent has
a hold that makes a problem for the
Republicans. 1t is said that supervisor
Archer would like to run for this Of
fee Trent will take another nomin'
alton, unless he should run for mayor
and will be hard to beat for treasurer
For sheriff the Republican situation
looks like John Wise. His running
against Jarrett would make a warn
contest, with the Republicans Offering
| good odds on their man.
