BOOSTING WAYSON To
SUCCEED ROBINSON

Manuel /. Silva, Board of Health in
speetor, is conducting a campaign to
have DIR. Wayson appointed president
of the Board.
The activity of the Inspector among
the japanese editors to advance the
candidacy of DIR. Wayson has been
made public by the editors themselves,
who refused to take any stock in the
inspector s methods, viewing the matter
as of no personal concern to them, not
being citizens of the country.
According to these newspapermen,
Silva stated to them that he was max
ing this canvass among the japanese, as
the Portuguese and Hawaiians were
preparing to 10 likewise by petitions
and otherwise to the Governor.
An inquiry of the Governor concern
ing the matter developed no further in
formation, the appointing official not
having had the matter before him in
any way.

of the voters, in despite of his position
He states that he did this while ago,
and that some disgruntled voter who

he had named it, made row, and this
time he will make no effort to provide
the information.

a clerk to do the actual work being sup.
piled, draw out even with the Sheriff,
and the County Clerk, whose office
hours are much shorter and his response
bilities infinitely less, gets within few
dollars as much a year.
The Sheriff s position is one OF dlf-
ficulty in administration and without
adequate pay. It is not surprising
therefore that at this particular time,
when practically baseless attack IS be-
ing made against the integrity of the
incumbent, other responsible men hest
tate to come forward for nomlna-
ton for the Office, while those who
are in the running, on their own
initiative, would be overpaid at almost
any salary.
One of these latter, John Wise, was
an indignant man yesterday, another
candidate who has been mentioned,
Judge Kaulukou, having just offered
him a place on his ticket as running
mate for the deputyship. Wise was
neither fattered nor amused at the Of
fer, while the joke of the affair is that
the Judge hesitated long while be-
fore taking the chances of hurting him
self by associating the name OF kau-
lukou with that of Wise.

hands of his friends, = remarked Wise,
after the encounter; ''but | IN not. I'm

CALLING OUT THE VOTERS.
In the name of j. F. Morgan, presi-
dent of the Republican club of the sew
enth of the fourth, a meeting has been
called for tonight in San Antonio hall.
To this meeting all Republicans in the
precinct who are members of the club
or who wish to become members are IN
vited, and number of business men
and others will make addresses. The
whole object of the meeting, a most
laudable one, is to interest the Repub-
Iicans of the precinct in the coming
election of convention delegates, with
view of placing good men in nominal
ton. If the other clubs would follow
this example, there would be better
convention. The meeting will commence
at half-past seven.
HUSTLING FOR DELEGATES.
There is going to be very pretty
scrap for delegates in the fourth of the
fourth. Both Hustace and Lucas live
in that precinct, and, of course, neither
wants to go before the convention ac-
knowledging that his own particular
bailiwiek is not out for him. Thus it
is that practically every man in any
way likely to be chosen to attend the
county convention has been approached
from both sides, their vote and infu-
ence solicited, and their chests pulled
with the Importance thrust upon them.
Who IS who can be better judged later
than now, both candidates claiming
| everything for themselves.

MUCH INTEREST
IN TENNIS GAMES
TOURNAMENTS PLANNED BY
VARIOUS WALLA WALLA
CLUBS.

More than ever before the game Of
tennis is taking hold of the people Of
the city this summer and on the many
fine courts which the city boasts there
are large numbers of the followers of
the game playing every night. The
weather has been, for the most part,
being shown.
Perhaps the most live organization
of the kind in the city is the Walla
Walla Tennis club, whose courts are
on Catherine street. This club has a
large membership and has some good
players and is besides developing
some good new material. The courts
of the club are fast and we'll cared for
and good tennis can be seen there al
most any night.
The Presbyterian Brotherhood is
another tennis organization which is
popular this summer. While the court
is new and not as fast as the players
would like, it has served to stimulate
a healthy interest in the game and
some promising material has been
brought out
The fastest court in the city is at
the Y. M. c. A This court was put in
at the expense of some $3.50 or $500
and is as hard and smooth a clay sur
face as it is possible to make. The
members of the Y. M. c. A. club have
been somewhat handicapped the last
weeks by having their court cut up by
unavoidable circumstances, but it will
be ready again in two or three days
and in better condition than ever. Any
member Of the association is eligible
for membership in the club and a
lively campaign is being made to Sc
cure members.
A tournament is to be begun at once
among the members of the Y. NJ G. A.
club to promote interest in the game.
All members will be urged to enter and
the fact that a player has just learned
will be no drawback to him getting
a fair chance Of winning. In the fall it
is planned to have series Of medal
