and kokua the special committee find
ings. The endorsements were made last
night solely on the basis of the carat
mark on the applicant IS Democracy,
there being no attempt to delve into
the fitness of the various applicants for
the particular place each wanted on the
county payroll. The decisions in that
respect will be up to Fern and Jar.
rett.
Then, before the great time of ac-
tually holding office comes, will come
the battle between the Democratic
Mayor-if there is Democratic Mayor
and the Republican Supervisors. So
far as the police force goes, of course,
Jarrett will have a free hand.
In all there were applications from
one hundred and seventy-three real and
near Democrats for various jobs on the
police force, and one hundred and four
teen for jobs under the Mayor. The
applications of more than half the will
ing ones were endorsed and G. J. Wal
Ter named to present the lists of the
eligible ones to Messrs. Fern and Jar
rett. In the rush for places it is singu-
lar that the majority of Democrats
wanted the minor jobs. For the i'm
portant places only the few names given
at the head of the column were en-
dorsed. There was only one application
in sight for the Office of County Engi-
neer, one of the best plUms on the tree.
Johnny Wilson, who was supposed to
be slated for this job, and perhaps is,
was not mentioned either as an apph.
cant or as one endorsed. There was
only one application on file for the of
flee of secretary to the Mayor, that of
Charles L. Rhodes. 1t seemed to be a
surprise to some present that no appli-
cation was in from Henry w. Kinney,
of the Bulletin staff, who was supposed
to be doing some considerable canvass
ing for the position.
No one wants to be Senior Captain
of Police, evidently, although there is
room for putting Fl. A. Juen in the
role of applicant for that high post,
his endorsed application being for
@ something on the police force" +"
From what could be gathered at the
meeting there is only one applicant for

has a chance, that being the present
detective, who holds down the chief
firmly. It was stated that
Sheriff elect Jarrett favors Kalakiela
and will retain him in Office.
The position of COachman to the
Sheriff is something new, but may have
been added to the list of positions to
balance an expected one of Chauffeur
to the Mayor. Mr.. Fern, it is said,
has already been sounding the Super

There are plenty of applications for
