WHY WALLACH'
WAS SET
FREE

Yesterday was an of day for the
street.corner politicians, advantage be-
ing taken of the Sabbath rest to 60
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
| 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.
Wallach, 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-
ton in the Senate of Hemenway as
Attorney General. The report, just as
it 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
mayoralty, but now it is given out
that 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
though the rols or 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
ark and carried on vigorously from
that time, all over the island, until tho
. voting. The hui will not support Jar
rett for the ambitious Office of Sheriff,
but will back him up if he wants to
=
councils of the hui it has been decided
that Jarrett is too young and has too
r little experience to carry on the work
of Sheriff with credit to the Hawaiian
d race They have decided that he will
have to wait while and grow wiser
p before reaching too high
M AS matter of fact, the ones who
/, are supposed to- lead this gallant six
Q hundred have decided that there is no
> Hawaiian available at present whom
Q they could support for the shrievalty
Q and will swing in behind n haole, al
ready selected but whose name is a
!. secret in their councils and that of the
}. upper circle of Democracy. 1t is said
v that in his own party Jarrett is to be
q firmly suppressed and the nomination
d given elsewhere, to someone AS yet I'M
a suspected, but who is not Hawaiian.
q This is not A. M. Brown, nor Is it
), Aigh Henry, but Democrat of stand
II ing.
The same objections that are being
@ made against Jarrett, youth and inno-
It cence, are being made against Long,
it as County Attorney, although the Ha-
Is waiian Sons have not as yet made up
n their minds about this office.
n 1t was denied yesterday that there
IS was warfare politically between the
n various alumni associations as associa
!. tions. but il was admitted that the
g members of the Kan alumni and the
v graduates of Alexander Macintosh
Is collectively AS individuals were after
e the individual scalps of the st. Louis
IS men. 80 :,
