WAILUKU, Maui, Sept. IS. - The
thirty and four delegates elected
from Waikiki district to the County
Convention to be held in Waikiki

in Waikiki last Monday evening. All
were present, viz: twelve from Wal
luku, four from Waihee, sixteen from
Puunene, and two from Kihei.
The meeting is reported to have
been very tame affair, but now the
candidates who got left-at least
their supporters--are saying all
manner of things. and IL the work
for their candidates is to be as
sharp and effective as their tongues
there will be very lively times in
Wailuku district at the coming cleo
ton.
Clement Crowell received the en-
dorsement of the caucus for the Of
flee of Deputy Sheriff of Wailuku,
while the friends of II. A. Wadsworth
succeeded In making his choice for
the Waikiki Supervisorship unani-
nous. s. 4. Kaiue had several sup
porters at the caucus, but when they
saw that they were outnumbered
they gracefully yielded to the choice
of the majority and withdrew their
candidate. The majority of those
present had nothing personal against
Supervisor Kaiue, who had striven
during his term of Office for the best
interests of the town of Waikiki and
Kahului. His present physical con-
dition, however, compelled even his
best friends to look around for a
much younger and stronger man
physically, and Mr.. Wadsworth an
swers these conditions splendidly.
