POLITICIANS ARE
PICKING WINNERS
Conceded That Great Scratch "
of Tickets viii Occur at
Election.

That q mixed ticket will in all prob
Utility be elected in November, was the
consensus of opinion among the local
politicians yesterday, the claim being
made that both tickets were so evenly
balanced that candidates from both
sides would be found elected when the
ballots were counted.
The Democrats are given credit for
having named some strong candidates,
especially in the supervisorial ticket,
aud Markham, Mcclellan and Petrie
are looked upon as having good chances
Of election. The Republicans are con-
coded four places with Cox, Long, Enos
ami Arnold, the present favorites with
the political dopesters.
Hardesty and Paris, though both con
sidcred good material, are not well
enough known throughout the fifth dis
| trict and are expected to Iall in the
| fight for votes among the Hawaiian
precincts.
With Bartlett, things take a turn
lirectly the other way. The Kakaakc
leader is figured to be strong candi
late throughout the fifth, as well as
in the Hawaiian precincts of the fourth
the local liquor interests, he is looked
upon as likely to be knitted by the
fourth.
Some of the Democrats.
Pacheco, Plemmer and Wolters, fol
the Democrats and Motley, for the Re
publicans, are not being very heavily
backed the dopesters looking upon thes'
candidates as unknown quantities. Pa
checo is credited with having made |
hot fight for his rivals in the campaign
two years ago and he is considered
the best scrapper of the supposed.
weak candidates.
In the senatorial race, Coke, Rentol
and Kaleiopu are picked to be the mex
senators from Oahu, although Dowset
and laukea are recognized as hard can
didates to defeat. Dowsett is beini
opposed by Joel Cohen, but this opposi
ton will, in all likelihood, do Dowset
,, more good than harm, as the Cohel
votes will come mostly from elector
who, in all probability, would vote TO
one of the Democratic candidates i
preference to Dowsett. Wirtz, thong
considered good material and backe
by strong delegation of the locs
; Moose lodge, is hardly well enoug
known to be expected to pull a hi
, vote.
Fourth District.
In the fourth district the entire rel
resentative ticket is picked to win, a
though in one or two instances a clos
margin will separate the candidates {
the two parties. The Democrats loo
to Julius Asch Jr. to lead their ticket
: the fourth, some even being willin
to back Asch as one of the six to
4 elected.
Y At least four places are claimed |
8 the fifth district Democrats in the
g representative ticket and Kupihea, Pc
: poe, Kaniho and Paele are picked
: turn the trick. Kaniho is the o
4 Home Rule war horse and has loI
following among the Hawaiians, and
order to win the Republican candidat
, will have to do, some tall hustling
: the district.
:. Any opposition to Jarrett is fgur,
V to prove fruitless, Jarrett being lookt
n upon as having good record to star
on and big vote assured him becau
of his clean administration of the poll
department. The same thing will app
to the candidacy of Kalauokalani al
Bicknell in their campaign for reele
ton to the positions they now hold.
Other Candidates.
Y John w. Cathcart is conceded t
Il county attOrneyship, the Lightfoot ca
didacy not being looked upon as like
to develOpe much strength. In the fig
for the treasurer s office, the political
a are looking forward for close bait
with Col Mccarthy having shade t
better of the argument
That Col. Sam Parker has the fig
of his life on his hands, is the way t
Colonel's aspirants for the Office nj
held by Fern, is spoken off. The G.
onel, however, is n good vote-gett
/ and has already begun his canva
q among the fshmarket politicians.
