Yesterday was an off day for the
street-corner politicians, advantage be,
ing taken of the Sabbath rest to go
into the highways and the byways of
the suburbs and desert the usual gath
ering places. The day was not bereft
altogether of gossip, however, one of
the reports put into circulation having
TO do with the recent sudden disap-
pearance of j. Lor Wallach from the
local sphere. The report was of the
dogday description, but Indicative of
the way in which the straws are blow
ing in the kuleana districts.
Wallaeh, so ran the story, violated a
political pledge when he boarded the
Canadian steamer last month, having
been released from durance vile on
the understanding that he was to throw
his political influence and go on the
stump in the advocacy of William
Henry for County Sheriff, while after
election it was his pledged duty to
work the legislators for the confrma-
tion in the Senate of Hemenway as
Attorney General The report, just as
1T stands, is interesting as sample
of what are at this stage. of the game
regarded as election issues
There was little further talk of the
candidacy of Fred Beckley for the
tnayoralty, but now it is given out
shat Beckley will run as an independ-
ent if he fails to land the Republican
nomination. 1t is claimed by those
who are boosting him that he will have
the solid support of the Hawaiian
Sons, whatever that will be worth, al
though the roll of that organization
now contains nearly six hundred names
of voters, all Hawaiians.
The campaign for Beckley and the
other candidates whom the Hawaiian
Sons say they will support is to begin
in the third week of September, to be
begun with a mass meeting at Aala
Park and carried on vigorously from
that time. all over the island, until the
voting. The hui will not support Jar
rett for the ambitious Office of Sheriff.
but viii back him up if he wants to
run again for his present Office. In the
councils of the hui it has been decided
chat Jarrett is too young and has too
little experience to carry on the work
of Sheriff with credit to the Hawaiian
race They have decided that he will
have to wait a while and grow wiser
before reaching too high.
AS a matter of fact, the ones. who
are supposed to lead this gallant six
hundred have decided that there is no
Hawaiian available at present whom
they could support for the shrievalty
and will swing in behind haole, al
ready selected but whose name is
secret In their councils and that of the
upper circle of Democracy. 1t is said
that in his own party Jarrett is to be 4,
firmly suppressed and the nomination |
given elsewhere, to someone as. vet un-
suspected, but who is not Hawaiian.
This is not A. NJ Brown, nor is it |
tigh Henry, but a Democrat of stand
ing.
The same objections that are being
made against Jarrett. youth and innO-
cenee, are being made against Long, |
as County Attorney, although the Ha-
waiian Sons have not as vet made up
their minds about this Office.
1t was denied yesterday that there
was warfare politically between the
various alumni associations as associa-
tions, but it was admitted that the
members of the Kan alumni and the
graduates of Alexander Macintosh
as individuals were after
the individual scalps of the st. Louis
