Politics
on Maui
Lahaina Wants 10 Nominate
the Senator.

With the fall elections drawing
near the politicians are astir. Pros
pective candidates arc reaching out
for delegates and seeking support at
the coming convention. The poll
teal leaders in each precinct are
being sounded, and mountains of
hopes are built on Reluctantly
given promises.
The Third District is to elect one
senator this year. and w. J. Coelho
is the only known aspirant for the
place. He made two trips around
Maui quite recently, and lost much
strength by indulging in a campaign
of misrepresentation and abuse
against other leading republicans.
The most sanguine of his friends
are beginning to doubt his chances
of landing the G. 0. p. nomination.
Ever since the plebiscite the demo-
Gratis have been ready to tender him
the nomination on their ticket with
out conditions; but the tide has
turned and the democrats have be-
gun to question the wisdom of such
q course and will no longer give
Coelho the senatorial nomination
unless he comes forward to enroll
himself as a democrat. The home
rulers are saying they will nominate
either G.. l.. Kookoo or Vim. White
for senator. So Coelho will have
to make good his threat and run
independent.
For the lower house candidates
for honors on the republican ticket
are as thick as bees. From Hama
district Hon. j. w. Kawaakoa,
John Wilcox, w. IL. Drummond
and j. Hanuna are being put for
ward by their friends. For Maka-
wac the names of Hon. E: B. Car
ley and A. Comes are mentioned.
For Wailuku the aspirants are A..
Garcia, Geo. Maxwell, Samuel Ke-
liinoi, w. E. X. Maikai, John
Kalino and Hon. M. p. Waiwaiole,
although at the mention of the lat
ter name the scalp locks of many of
the old party war horses of the
districts outside of Wailuku will
bristle.
From I.ahaina Ed. Waiaholo and
Chas. X. Makekau are candidates.
From Molokai Hon. Joel Nakaleka
and Dibble X. Ilae are aspirants.
Lahaina is also anxious to come
forward with a senatorial candidate,
and on the score of preserving party
harmony and allowing Lahaina re-
presentation in the upper house the
other districts will be perfectly will
ing to let Lahaina have the honor
provided the Lahaina delegation
will name an acceptable candidate.
Hon. Philip Pail will be the man il
he will consent to try conclusions
with senator Coelho.
All of the county officers will
seek denomination for the offices
now held by them. Judge A. n.
Kepoikai will try to wrest the nomi.
nation for County Attorney from d.
II. Case, but whether he will sue
ceed is the question.
| The Wailuku precinct will be
represented by nineteen delegates al
the coming Republican County Con.
vention. AT present the politicians
are busy making states to put
through the coming primaries. One
slate is dubbed the "anti-haoles'
, from the fact no haole appears on
it; another slate will oppose the
election of Office holders to political
conventions and committees, and
another will contain a mixture OF
J haoles, and Hawaiians, with quite

who will allow nothing but regular
/ party principals and methods t.
prevail.
