Democratic Governor for Hawaii and
territorial billets for the faithful.
Mayor Fern put the soft pedal on
and spoke for harmony. He also saId
few things about Supervisor Dwight,
who will, as result of his belt road
vote, "get his hard and plenty in
November.
Split Wide open.
Mcclellan was certain that the Re-
publicans were split wide open and
there is no head or tail to the organiza-
ton. In his opinion this happy state
of affairs depended on whether Kuhio
stood with or left the party. If he
stayed with the Republican party it
would be the only thing that would
hold it together, but elf Kuhio splits
with the Republicans, we will have a
walkover in the coming election. y
"Soap Box Barron, who planned
last night IS meeting, handed several
hard swats to Rev. Stephen Desha of
Hilo, declaring that the Hilo orator
should stay in the pulpit, and leave
the soap-box alone. Concerning the
board of supervisors, Barron said that
IL but
stock of the Republican party. The sup
ervisors had ''leader," notorious and
a menace to the best interests of the
community. He has beaten people with
his fists and committed other acts of
rowdyism which have brought shame
to the Republican party. He had built
up a political machine that he ran up
River street one night, and "busted'
and annihilated his chances.
Barron sailed into Dwight, who, he
announced, was also a "dead one"
Parker and Frear.
" As to Colonel Parker and Governor
I had stated the things here that Col
onel Parker has stated concerning Gov
ernor Frear, they would have called me
worse than a dynamiter. 1 had a talk
with Colonel Parker last night, and
well, won't tell all that he said about
the Governor
He then formally introduced Link
McCandless as the logical candidate of
Link smiled his golden smile.
Campaign Health Issues.
Mosquitoes, board of health examin-
ations and the past epidemics are not
to be forgotten in the coming campaign.
The Hawaiian orators of the Demo
cratic party are getting razor-edge
on their campaign tongues and expect
to cut and slash on these momentous
questions. Two or three such orators
confined themselves last night to what
they called "the waste of money" in
all these campaigns.
Kissed and Made Up.
After reading The Advertiser yes
terday morning, Link McCandless,
Charley Mccarthy and Sheriff Jarrett
met accidentally and talked over
the existing Democratic row. AS re-
suit, each fired a statement into an af-
ternoon paper declaring that all pill
kia was pau and that whatever rowing
there had been was simply the result
of misunderstanding due to the tales
of tatlers and troublemakers. For pub
ication purposes, the sheriff and the
Perennial Candidate kissed and made
up.
Apparently the McCandless blight
has extended widely over the Demo-
cratic party and those who were trying
to make up their minds to boot Nc
Candless out of the way of success have
been taken down with frozen feet.
Now, what McCandless says goes and
only his OK. will be accepted. Kin
ney, Watson, Thayer, Trent and that
class of Democrats are showed aside for
the McCarthys, the Barrons, the Juens
and the Ryans.
Trying to Dump" Fern.
In the Democratic camp just now
there are more or less gloomy wishes to
get rid of Fern. Fern is wonder as
a vote-getter, but as mayor, he is not
as credit to the party. Any
one with a good workable scheme to
Dump one Joe Fern would be re-
ceived by the Democratic campaign |
planners with open arms. But no |
Democrat has the hardihood to suggest |
anything of this sort. "Joen may not |
shine as executive head of the munich
pality. but when it comes to giving the |
glad hand in the precincts, he has it
all over anything that ever worked for
precinct tallies on election night here.
Hence there is no Democrat with nerve
enough to go to Joe and tell him that
he is not really the proper thing as
mayor and ought to resume stevedor-
ng and let the whole party ticket be
| good one. 1t is well known that Joe
