Betram Rivenburgh, secretary to
Mayor Fern, candidate for senator on
McCandless' party ticket, is now the
campaign manager for the Democrats.
Rivenburgh was pitchforked into the
job of managing campaign which al
ready looks like the molten lake of
Halemaumau by nights so criss-
crossed with streaks of dissent and in
side opposition.
Rivenburgh was selected by the
Democrats and notified yesterday morn
ing. "Have you been selected for the
job of campaign manager3' he was
asked yesterday afternoon.
owen, they We selected me for the
job, but l haven t accepted yet. was
asked to think it over, but, well-yes,
guess you may say l will be the man
ager all right, and sigh was heaved
over the phone as Rivenburgh showed
his gameness in taekling the PROPOSE
tion.
And in addition, Supervisor McClel-
! Ian has been chosen as chairman of the
county committee, and he win com
mence with the strings from the can
didates in his hands and tangled up
around his legs.
Rivenburgh plunges into maelstrom
of dissension in his party. Doctor Ray
mond, one of the likeliest men to have
been popular with the voters, was turn
ed down as a senatorial candidate and
Jack Kalakiela, the man who thought
he could be the chief of detectives and
failed so miserably that he was drawn
into hole and supposedly lost by the
sheriff, only to bob up again in the
Democratic convention. Doctor Ray
mond is disguised with the entire Demo
cratic aggregation that sticks to Me-
Candless and his money bags, for it is
the money bags principally that the
Democrats look at-not Mac. Raymond
has washed his hands of the bunch.
Colonel Mccarthy long ago asserted
himself as utterly opposed to McCan4-
less and McCandlessism, and has had
nothing whatever to do with the selec-
tion and nomination of candidates and
has taken no party in the ways and
means of conducting the campaign.
Other reputable Democrats are out of
the mess of eels that McCandless has
dumped down among the Unterrifed.
Another senatorial candidate whom
the conservative Democrats regard
with wonderment is Eddie Hanapi. Ed
ward would Dignity Hanapi, only the
name doesn t seem to fit. Hanapi takes
: himself seriously, nobody else does. He Is
, police officer on duty at the circuit
conrt. He is relative of the late
4 Frank R. Harvey, one of the warehouses;
5 of the Democratic party, and he be
l lieves that Harvey's mantle of great
1 ness has fallen upon his shoulders. Ha
4 napi went to McCandless in the pre-
t convention days and got himself solid
by working for Mac, and Mac turned
!. about and boosted Eddie and talked sc
Q much for Eddie that the latter wor
: out in the convention race for sena
l torial honors.
s Kalakiela would do better as iani
9 tor of the senate than as member
{ as this paper has already said, but Ha
r napi wouldn't even make good as g
Q .messenger, for Hanapi is forgetful. He
4 was so forgetful when he was ON duty
. as a receiving clerk at the police sta
g tion that he was relieved of the posi-
g tion.
Rallied in the Rain.
1t rains on the just and the unjust
saith the Scriptures, but last night j
rained ON the betwixt and between, t,
wit: the Democrats.
! Some eight hundred people, of cours
a not all Democrats, gathered at tn
!, classic spot between King street an,
the Kalihi pumping station.
There were torches and peanuts an
a sodawatcr, benches, speeches and side
;. show Publications in the way of tn
a little alley arguments between precinc
n statesmen.
The precincts embraced by Palam
and Kalihi were we'll represented b
q the Democrats present and, altogethe'
there was considerable show of Ell
n thusiasm in spite Of the fact that
rained off and on.
A number of Democratic candidate
were present, though chiefly the sen;
O. torial and superyisorial.
Bertram G. Rivenbnrgh, secretary
a His Honor, the Mayor, made the Made
speech of his political career as eand
date for the senate. He said he VIZ
O. glad he was there and he was glad I'll
: crowd was there. He thanked the crow
for being there and he thanked IL
voters for what he hoped they woul
do for him and the rest of the Dem
Gratis on election day. When the ear
n paign got little hotter, said Bertra
4 Rivenburgh, he expected to have Il
y pleasure of addressing considerab
good words to the assembled multitud
on occasion, when he would endeav
r. to preach to them the advantages
Democracy (applause) and particul
ly the great advantages of the Dem
cratic platform as recently launch
(great applanse).
Mayor Fern also spoke. He told
n. anecdote or two which brought for
- considerable laughter and he briel
an said what he expected the Democrat
yer party would do.
nd He explained that those eandidai
Mt. who happened to be present were
IA hand to introduce themselves. Son
~ body remarked that Tern needed no
,re PRODUCTION.
