public as to just when Supervisor
Dwight made his statement about Lane,
on Wednesday evening. Some thought
1T was made during the session of the
Board of Supervisors held that evening.
As matter of fact Mr.. Dwight made
his statement before the meeting, and
while he was in the Office of County
Clerk Kalauokalani. Nothing was said
during the meeting of the Supervisors,
but after adjournment, Dwight called
several people and putting his hand on
Mayorelect Fern IS shoulder made the
statement concerning Lane. The Board
of Supervisors meeting was not inter
rupted during it's business discussion.
The Dwight-Lane- Nagaran Fernandez
controversy is becoming a sort of end
less chain matter. Explanations are
still being made. The Bulletin yester.
day had the following story:
Sam Dwight, against whom Nagaran
Fernandez directed his eall-down yes
terday afternoon, wants to be clearly
understood that he does not want to
be dictated to by anyone, especially
y. Fernandez, relative to the running
of the affairs of his precinct, of which
he Dwight is president
"The whole trouble began with the
appointment of an outsider as clerk
for the judges of the Eleventh Pre-
einet of the Fifth" said Dwight to-
day "The appointment of Edwin
Fernandez as clerk of my precinct
made me sore. Fernandez does not
belong to my precinct, but according
to my information, his appointment
was recommended and urged by Nag
aran Fernandez and other Republicans
leaders, as a result of which he was
given the job as clerk. There are
many competent men in my precinct
to perform the duty of election clerk;
but they were ignored entirely, and
Edwin Fernandez an outsider, was Sp-
pointed instead.
F'1n this connection, /, as president
of the precinct, recommended that
Harry Aud or Benjamin Kane be APP
pointed as clerk. This matter was re-
ported to Frank Fernandez, a member
of the County Committee, with in
structions to get the approval of the
committee. When the matter was
discussed by the committee, it is said,
Frank Fernandez was made to with
draw his support in favor of Aud and
Kane and approve the appointment
of Edwin Fernandez as clerk"
Nagaran Fernandez, it is said, was
responsible for Edwin s appointment.
Other Republican leaders, at the re-
quest of N. Fernandez, also took
hand in this appointment and hence
Edwin Fernandez got the plum. Harry
Aud and Benjamin Kane were great
ly disappointed.
81 would have been satisfied, con-
tinued Dwight, chad one of the men
from my precinct been appointed as
clerk. ] am opposed to appointing an
outsider, no matter who he is, when
there are mer here who can do the
work equally as well as Edwin. As
Republican-for / have been and am
still Republican, believe in treat
ing a man right.
IN. Fernandez evidently thought at
the time that he could run my pre-.
cinet as he saw fit, but /, for one, do
not want to be taken as mere figure
head. He was greatly mistaken IN
that connection. In order to even up
with him, I Saeided to knife the man
he was backing, in order to show HIM
that I had some influence over the
men of nv precinct. / got down to
business and did the knitting resulting
in the defeat of his man, Lane.
fsThe trouble with N. Fernandez Is
that he thinks that he is the only man
in the Fifth that can do politics. His
work with the Republican party so far
as politics are concerned was not sat
isfactory, although he thought he was
doing a lot of good. He has been
vary careful to see that his relatives
were given some kind of a job. Those
who worked hard for the party, in my
precinct, were, through his Interior
enee. prevented from getting anything
to do. That was the trouble with
Nagaran in this connection. Had he
only attended to his own affairs with
ont interfering with the affairs OF
others. there would have been no
trouble over the election of Lane, so
far as I was concerned -
