Rumor Crop.

| From all sides comes confirmation of
the Advertiser reports that in the com.
| ing election the Hawaiian voters, I'M
less they see their error, are to make
last desperate stand to assert their
| right to all the political offices of the
county. In justice to great many of
the Hawaiian leaders it can be said
! that this movement comes more from
below than above, from the ranks of
the ones who are imbued with the idea
i that the government owes them a liv-
i ing than from those who have proper
claims through qualifications to leader.
ship.
The fact that 'sHawaii for the Ra-
walians campaign has been in prog,
ress, active but unostentatious, has
been confirmed within the past couple
of days by many. VIM. Savidge, the
secretary of the Territorial Executive
committee, acknowledges the truth of
the Advertiser expose; Sheriff Iaukea
stated yesterday that there was GOOD
deal of truth in the story, Charley Achi
sadly backs up this paper; John Wise.
with the knife sticking out of his back,
acknowledges it; Mrs. Atcherley, who
heads a small but a fanatical faction,
confirms it, while no one has arisen,
except the Bulletin, to either deny or
defend the foolish movement. And the
Bulletin does not count.
Yesterday there was a new crop of
political rumors, the most important OF
which is to the effect that the huis
are dissatisfied with John Lane, who
has opposed the AlI-Hawaii scheme
rather more than they like, and are
resolved now to throw their votes to
Frank Harvey, who is to get the Demo
cratic nomination if possible. Harvey,
having pull through his connections
on the waterfront and with his saloon,
appears to be strong man in the vote
getting line, which is the main thing
apparently, much more important than
special qualification for the mayoralty.
If the latter were to be considered
Harvey would be four places on the
wrong side of the decimal point, but as
matters are drifting he appears to be
in better shape to have the handling
of the city check book than aimest
anyone else.
The handicap of Democracy is to be
overcome by his associations with the
huis and the fact that the party tickets
are not going to figure in very largely
with the voting majority. Jarrett, it
is sti1l claimed, is going to sweep the
field with his Hawaiian vote, while it
is possible that he is going to carry
through with him as running mate,
Jack Kalakiela, recently appointed
chief of detectives The nomination
for deputy sheriff is between Kalakieia
and Charley Rose, on the Democratic
Hawaiian ticket, although the latter
would prefer to be made auditor. The
Republicans have to have some of the
spoils of the coalition, however, and
the authorship and treasureship with
majority on the board of supervisors
are to go to them, while Carlos Long
is to be county attorney. This is the
proposition and the basis of the trad
ing at present.
Willie Crawford is still of the opin-
ion that he is to land the Republican
nomination for Representative from
the Fifth. In discussing his chances
yesterday he said: "Don t you think
that / could do just as much in the
House as Kalana or Correa? / wouldn t
go there and sit as a fgurehead, any
way. Which is what is the trouble,
assuredly
With Crawford, according to those
on the inside, Lyle Dickey is to be
nominated, the Achi delegates for the
convention being prepared to go and
give the reformer the nomination.
When the time for voting comes he is
TO get it in the neck. This being
Crawford s least vulnerable point, he
will get his somewhere else.
Kalana is doing a little quiet work
on his own behalf His experience as
a legislator leads him to think that it
beats driving hack all to pieces. He
has announced that he is out after
another nomination.
Kaleiopu will undoubtedly get a
nomination and will very probably be
elected on the Republican ticket, with
some backing from Aehi and the Ha.
waiian- Democrats. Kaleiopu is now
holding a job as luna in the road de-
partment and is earning his money.
He made a good record in the last
House, keeping the official stenograph-
