LIHUE. Kauai, Aug. Is. - The
approaching election has SO far not
made much stir in the different dis
tricts OF Kauai; in fact, for several
offices no candidates but the present
ofiice-holders have announced them
selves. There are some exceptions,
however, notably as are the positions
as Supervisors in demand
In Hanalei there seems to be no
less than seven residents that want
to have chance to guide the destiny
Of the district during the coming pc
Rod. Besides the present incumbent
Charles Kahee, there are two other
Republicans looking for the nominal
tion from their party. Chas. b. Ma
kee has been approached by several
OF the voters with the request that he
try for the place. He has been res
ident Of the district for years. and
would no doubt pull large vote from
the many with whom he has had
business connection. Z. Deverill is
another kamaaina in the valley who
seems to feel pretty certain OF cap
turing the coveted plum. while Chas.
Kahee, who has managed to get re-
markable lot of money appropriated
for his district during the past two
years, relies upon his past record to
carry him through.
The Democrats and the Home Rul-
ers each have two men in the field
for nomination. s. Kanewanui and
j. s. Chandler appear to run about
even. but then the party has hardly
been organized long enough to carry
Its man to victory. but one of them
will probably be nominated on the
Democratic ticket. The Home Rulers
have their stronghold in Hanalei.
and In 1905 placed their man in the
Supervisorial chair. in spite OF the
hard time he had to get there. d.
kanealii has utilized the two years
which have elapsed since he stepped
down to fortify his position for the
coming election and feels pretty GER
tain Of occupying his old seat during
the next two years, while Kuapuhi,
who also ran, probably will do the
same this year.
In Hawaiian there Is also an en-
barras de richesse OF Supervisorial
timber. Jas. Apollo, who has repre-
sented the district on u Home Rule
ticket, at the present period will be
In the field again with the remnants
of the party back Of him, while Da-
vid Kalawaia, who has been unsuc-
cessful first with the Home Rule and
later with the Republican party, will
try his luck with the Democrats this
year. The Republicans will have to
choose between two men from their
party, e. ]. Morgan and J. b. Cum
mings, who are both reported to be
seeking the nomination.
At Lihue, H. d. Wishard, who at
present successfully acts as chairman
of the Board. will have to look to his
laurels, as he will have a competitor
for the place in Kanikanihia. who
has been put up by the new-formed
Democratic Lihue Club.
In Koloa all factions seem to be
satisfied with the present Supervisor,
w. d. McBryde, and want him re-
elected, while In Waimea A. F. Knud-
sen will have to overcome ]. b. Ma
umu from the Home Rule camp. and
s. Makaila. who thinks he will be
nominated by the Democrats.
The Deputy Sherifis are all with
out opponents, SO far as can be ascer-
tanned, with one exception. In Ka-
waihau, c. X. Haze, the jailer, who
recently Joined the Democratic party
expects 1t to give him the nomination
and later the election as Deputy Sher.
In over the present incumbent OF the
office, s. w. Meheula, who IL running
on the Republican ticket.
The present County Attorney 8. X
Kaeo, is out for denomination at the
hands Of his party and will probably
get 1t without contest, though A. G
Kaulukou, who will run independ
emily, will compete with him at the
election.
The present County Auditor woult
also like another term of ONCE, but
Chas. Blake, as independent, and r
kanealii. as Democrat. want to Sc,
whether a vigorous campaign woult
not put either the one or the other II
