ELEVENTH OF FIFTH.
In the Eleventh of the fifth, where
they are polling near King street and
the Kaiulani school, the indications
are Democratic. There even Repub-
licans are admitting that the Demo-
Gratis seem to have a stronghold.
THIRD OF FOURTH.
Over half of the voters had voted
in the Third of the Fourth by 1915
this afternoon.
SIXTH OF FOURTH.
In the Sixth of the Fourth things
are going slow. This is the Kakaako
precinct and there are nearly five hun
bred voters. By 1870 this morning
only 1876 had voted. There will be a
rush in this precinct this afternoon.
CATHCART AND KANEOHE..
Word comes over the Pail that Cath
cart leads in KaneOhe. From many
other precinctsG particularly in the
Fourth District, comes similar word.
JARRETT SURE WINNER.
Everybody, whether or not they are
voting for him. is either declaring
Jarrett winner for sheriff or else they
are saying nothing. All the young
men are voting for Jarrett. He's get
ting the athletic vote for sure.
AUDITOR AND CLERK.
Kalauokalani and Bicllnell seem GER
tain for Clerk and Auditor, although it
is not expected that their results VIII
show as great a number of votes as
they received at the last election.
McCANDLEso is HOPEFUL.
Notwithstanding the declaration of
the Republicans that Kuhio will re-
ceive a great majority, McCandless and
his friends declare that the signs so
far today are full of hope. Bets
against McCandless are not finding
ready takers.
The Fourth of the Fourth was the
scene of an interesting little mix-up
early this morning, when one of the
candidates for the Office
Of Supervisor was sharply called down
for a violation of the election laws.
Since the violation of the law was done
through ignorance and was not in
tended to be a trick to gain votes,
so further action was taken.
Charles Girdler was the candidate
in question. He was around the booth
and noticed one of the sample ballots
which is provided by Government,
tackled up on the outside wall That
it was a sample ballot, without any
marks against the names of the can
didates was something which he did
not notice. He Immediately sprang to
the conclusion that it was a Republic
can ballot and rushed off for a ham
mer and tacks. Getting these, he re-
turned and Immediately began to tack
up similar ballots, but with the cross
es marked against the names of all the
Democratic candidates.
This did not last long, however. The
attention OF the inspectors or Blectlon
were called to the matter and it was
a very few seconds before they were
the ballots had been torn
down and Girdler well Teprimanded.
The incident was looked on as good
joke on Girdler by those present.
Affairs were quiet in the town pre-
cincts of the Fifth District this fore
noon. Republicans claimed a good run
of the straight ticket but admitted a
splitting. At the voting
place Of the 9th formerly the fighting
7th) precinct, Kalihi pumping station
the Republican sample ballots unac-
countably became scarce at an early
hour.
George Markham made a diversion
at Kalihiwaena schoolhouse, the 10th
precinct, by refusing to sign the roll
