figured out. Just for the present Lane
has gone behind cloud, but it is a
long Lane that has no turning and his
turn at the head of the rumor brigade
may come at any time.
! A. l.. c. Atkinson, who will have to
submit to be called "Jack" again, is
also supposed. to be planning in the
depth of the Judd building for the
launching of a BOOM Jimmy Boyd,
who has been rather snubbed of late
by some of the ones he worked the
wards with, is limiting pretty broadly
/ that he has an Atkinson boom under
his hat and ready to let it go at first
convenient opportunity. Jack, it will
| be remembered, was the first in the field
with a silver cup for the Kakaako
| baseball league, now rechristened the
Atkinson league, beating Charley Hus-
tace into the cup game by good lap
He is also one of the biggest rooters
on the side lines in Atkinson park, in
| Kakaako, every Sunday, ana there are
those mean enough to insinuate that
Jack has had his eye on the Kakaako
vote just as much as on the Kakaako
scoreboard.
Jack Lucas is letting no grass grow
under his feet either, and being fur
ther into the field than the others
and less retice6t about his ambitions
is getting the promises of lot of sup
port in his candidacy He will go into
the convention with the backing of a |
good many.
The supposed ambition of Chilling |
worth has forced Tsenberg's name int
the street corner discussions very |
prominently again. 1t was generally |
supposed that he had decided to keep |
out of the ring, but this early in the |
game there is time for a change of |
mind over and over again.
Hustace is saying little, but it may /
be taken for granted that the taste
he has had of sitting in the big chair
has not proved unpleasant for him and,
that the sound of the title mayor is
even better than of chairman. His
attitude on the campaign question SO
far has been SphinxliKe
This gives Lane, Atkinson, Isenberg,
Lucas and Hustace to be discussed,
not to mention Dwight, Achi and a
string of others who have been at one
time or another mentioned for the five
thousand dollar job.
A. NJ. Brown, supposed to be politi-
cally dead, has been resurrected by
some of his friends and his name
coupled again with that of the shriey-
atty, Just what this is for only the
ones behind the scenes seem to know.
Certainly it cannot be serious. With
Wise and Chillingworth TO pull for the
Hawaiian vote and with the Fourth
district back of the present sheriff, the
leader of the old police machine is
dreaming vain dreams if he supposes
that there will ever again be a chance
for him. Vida might just as well come
out. But if Chillingworth gets in
Brown may have TayIor's place.
In the Supervisorial crop are num-
Der of new ones: Jim Quinn has al
ready been mentioned and Walter Dill
bingham is being urged to be again a
candidate before the convention.
Archer is going to move out to make
room for someone, being ambitious for
a seat in the Senate.
The Republicans are not so busy
with their own affairs but what they
are taking a little time to look over
the Democratic possibilities. With so
many factions developing within their !
own ranks it is conceded that the
Democrats might stand a show for I
some of the good things again if they
put up good men. Among them they I
are agreed that the strongest man for
any of their men to meet in the fight
for the sheriffship would be Iaukea.
No other Democrat, they argue, would
cut as deeply into their independent
vote nor be able to appeal for general
support with as good prospects of sue
cess. The hope is that the Democrats
will refuse to nominate him for sec
Ond term.
They are carefully sizing up the
mayoralty timber in the Democratic
ranks, also, though protesting to have
little doubt that the Republican nomi-
nation is not tantamount to election. ]
