The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-11-02

stated that there was but one weak
place, that in the fight for County
Clerk. George X. Lowe, the candidate
for this position put forward by the
Democrats has been with L. L. Nc
Candless on his tour around the other
islands, and has spent little time on
his own personal campaign, which Mr.,
Col. Mccarthy tsated might allow Ka-
/ lauolalani to squeeze in.
In the fight for Supervisor Cox APP
pears to be a certainty with d. Kalau-
okalani, a close competitor for the head
1 Of the count. w. II. Mcclellan, should
| lead the Democratic ticket and will
probably be elected as he will poll a
very heavy vote in business circles.
/ Logan will come up strong, as he will
get the solid support of the Republic
cans in the Fourth, besides carrying
many Democratic votes. On account
! Of his long record in public and quasi
| public life, he is probably better
! known among the Hawaiians than any
haole among the candidates and is
very well liked.
I
Jarrett and Wise will make very
close run for the Office of sheriff, with
Iaukea trailing very far behind The
latter will poll hardly any votes in
the country and will get but a small
vote in the city, 1t being recognized
/ that he has no chance to win against
either of the two. His fight will I'M
doubtedly take away some votes from
Wise, though it was started with the
intention of beating Jarrett
I Opinions seem TO differ in the dep
uty sheriff fight. The Democrats are
sure of Charlie Roses success, but it
is going to a close squeeze if he wins
as the combined Laborula and Repub-
lican nominations give Chris Holt very
strong backing.
For County AudfSCr the fight is pc
culiar. Bicknell won out by $50 votes
in his last election and is against a
man who has never mixed in politics
before. His opponent, Anderson, has
a great circle of acquaintance, how
ever, and should run well. The COM
bination of nominations, should pull
Bicknell through flying, as the support
Of the Laborula party will be consid-
cradle in the country.
The Senatorial rgnt will be a hard
one. E. w. Quinn, seems to be the
strongest man on the Republican tic
ket, with John A. Hughes a good Sec
ond and Henriques poor third. Har-
ch Loo hn &c
pears to be certain of election, even
according to the most strenuous claim
ing opponents. Broad is the strongest
of the Laborula candidates and Poepoe
may be expected to poll fairly large
Hawaiian vote, but will have practical
ly nothing among the haoles Watson
and Moore, the two remaining Demo-
, cratic candidates for the Senate are
uncertain quantities. Watson should
run well in the Fourth while Moore is
said to be very strong in the city
proper and also among the Hawaiians
in the Fifth.
The only mix-up which is liable to
be found in the ticket for the House
will come in the Fifth. Here, on ac-
count of the expulsion of Kaea from
the ticket there will be considerable
cutting done. 1t is doubtful if it will
extend beyond this, however. Correa
made a good run last time and may be
expected to win easily. Kalei-
opu is a certainty and cannot be
beaten. Ruel Kinney, with the Labor
ulas as well as the Republicans be-
hind him, should be safe and Malelua
is apparently very popular. Kama and
Mikalemi should both do well, though
the last two will probably be hurt
more by Kaea than any of the others
Frank Archer stated this morning
that Eva would return a good Repub-
lican plurality. He calculated the vote
to result about as follows in the dis
trict; Republican, $50, Democratic, 80
Home Rule, so. This will mean gain
) for the Democrats from the election
two years ago.
The following is the outlook as seen
by w. G. Achi. He says that Motley
will beat both McCandless and Kuhio
in the Fifth and will come second on
Maui, with Kuhio in first place. On
Hawaii, Kuhio is placed second, by
Achi, with Motley, first and McCand-
less, third. From this he predicts that
Motley will be elected
Achi believes that Wise will beat
Jarrett by a small majority, through
the assistance of the Laborulas and
Won Holt is scheduled by the labor
leader to win from Trent, on account
of his strength in the Fifth.
