Out in the second precinct of the
fourth district there is little scrap on
Just now as to where the voting will
take place on Saturday. It's all over
the question of suitable site, and L.
Buffandeau, chairman of the club,
thinks that Alabama Mitchell IS old sa.
loon (now vacant) will be just the
place. Here is where others don t
agree with him, for that takes the vot-
ing out to Moiliili, on a car line where
cars run only every twenty minutes,
and-well, they say it's almost off the
map. It's an ideal place to do politics,
however, and it is on this account that
the Mandates say the voting will have
to be held down in Pawaa. If va
cant house cannot be procured there on
Young street or Pawaa lane, they say
vote in the open shed of the Rapid
Transit. 1t is likely that this ques-
ton will come to an issue today.
Charley Clark has scented a mystery.
The ticket which the Bulletin printed
the other day with Charley Clark in the
running for auditor, is the result of
collision, says Charley, on the part of
the Advertiser, and, mind you, Bernard
Kelekolo. Charley is gust as sure that
the Advertiser had Bernard draw up
this ticket and then foist it on the Bull
letin as he is that he will be elected
In other words, Charley is mistaken in
both guesses.
"Never you mind" said Charley
yesterday, "I'm going to make run
and good one, too, and one that will
give me victory" But Charley is like
many other politicians-they believe
that the county owes them living, and
are surprised that people differ from
this view.
That w. Il. Rawlins will he elected to
the convention in the second precinct
of the fourth district is being made
certain by his friends. Billy is want
ed in the convention, and go there he
will, in spite of the very determined
effort on the part of the County Clerk IS
lieutenant to keep him out.
Tom Gandall is again being talked
of among the Democrats for Legislative
honors. Tom was up for similar honors
once before, but failed to get in.
Jack Lucas says he is all assurance
over the prospect of the nomination for
mayor, and from the size-up of the
possible convention members he be-
lieves he has the right ones and ma
jority tagged, numbered and shelved,
ready to deliver at the psychological
moment.
In the Eighth Precinct Of the Fifth
District the Republican nominees for
county convention honors will hold n
meeting at 1880 this evening at the
residence of Mr.. Barker on Kali street,
in order to settle about the expenses
of the club. At the nomination meet.
ing last week it was agreed that the
Candidates should contribute pro rata
to the expenses of the meetings and
the election this week. They were to
pay up this afternoon but through some
luke or other, this went by the board
and although some were present Others
were not, and it was decided to post.
pone the meeting until tonight
Or course, it is only n political sus.
picion, and one that finds its way to
the street corner congregations where
politics is hammered out day by day,
but Just the same there is considerable
said about an understanding between
Lane and jarrett as TO the shrievalty
nominations. Although Lane is a Re.
publican and Jarrett Democrat, Lane
doesn't want to stand in Jarrett Is way
for the Office of sheriff, it is said. And
this, to some extent, explains why Lane
insists on going into the mayoralty
contest with Lucas and Hustace, leav-
ing an open passage for Jarrett. Lane,
of course, knows that Wise or Kaulu.
kou could be beaten by Jarrett, but
Lane is said not to take any interest
in stopping up the leak in the Republi-
can ticket. Lanes friends are con-
fident, however, that he will win hands
down in the convention for the mayor.
atty nomination, but so are Lucas and
Hustace's friends likewise confident2
And so, as the Irishman said, "There
y'are."
1t is stated on the street that Enos
Vincent, the Portuguese policeman,
will go to Maui, his old home, and
compete with Kalua for the Republi-
can nomination for County Attorney.
The Democrats now have news
paper. After negotiations extending
over quiet a period of time the pur-
chase of Mrs. Nawahi's interest in
the Aloha Alma has been the completed
and the entire paper is now owned and
controlled in the interest of the Demo
cratic party. Mrs. Nawahi will con
tinue as editor until the first of the
year.
A corporation was formed nearly
year ago which took over the owner
ship of the paper which up to that
time had been the property of Mrs.
Hawahi. But until now she has
owned controlling interest in the
stock of this corporation. A meeting
of the shareholders will be held soon
TO elect new officers, and probably
outline more succinctly policy to be
followed by the paper.
