The news of the discussion of Senator
Frank Harvey as Democratic candidate
for the delegate to congress created
quite stir in the Democratic camp,
and after some Democrats had got to.
gether denials began to come in yester-
day. The Democrats are mostly still
loyal to Link McCandless, and possibly
there was some alarm lest the McCand-
less sack should be lost if the Harvey
matter went too far.
The liquor dealers also disclaim any
intention to work for Harvey. The
fact remains, however, that they don
| like Link, who is understood quite we'll
to have prohibition leanings, and pretty
strong ones. Unless they can get Link
| out of the way the liquor men stand to
have no candidate satisfactory to them
in the field, and they won't have any
particular pleasure in spending their
| prospective campaign fund on either
side. Kuhio will be against them, and,
as is well known, Link is regarded as
likely to oppose them too. Hence the
leanings towards Harvey.
| Both Senator Harvey and Secretary
Buchly of the Liquor Dealers Associa
ton sent denials to The Advertiser yes
terday Of the statement that there was
deal on whereby the association had
considered making Harvey the Demo
cratic candidate. Buchly's letter is as
| follows:
Honolulu, T. H., March 90, 1910.
"The Editor Pacific Commercial Ad-
vertiser, Honolulu, T. H.:
| 'Sir: Referring to your article on
| pages one and two of this morning IS
issue, we beg to state that our associa-
ton has held no meeting this week nor
at any time previous in re Senator
Frank Harvey as proposed delegate,

citation.
''We would ask you, therefore, to
kindly see that this denial is given the
same prominence as your statement of
the supposed facts. Yours truly,
"RUDOLF J. BUCHLY,

Association of Hawaii
Mr.. Buchly's denial that there was
any meeting of the liquor dealers as
ISOLATION on Monday, shows, of course,
that there was no formal meeting,
though the Bulletin, organ of the as
ISOLATION, last night referred to "the
meeting of the Wholesale Liquor Deal
ers' Association last Monday" With
out there being a formal meeting, there
were undoubtedly discussions, and The
Advertisers information as to the dis
cussion of the Harvey candidacy was
authentic.
Senator Harvey sent to The Adver-
tiser the following carefully written
communication, setting forth his inten-
ton to remain in the senate:
"Honolulu, March 23,19lO.
