FIGHT IN PROSPECT.
DEMOCRATS PATCH UP
Compromise Plan
Is Offered
Today

Democratic leaders of both tho
county factions, the Jarret: and anri
Jarrett forces, got together this morn
ing on a program Of compromise that
was agreed to in outline AMI may be
put through in detail by the county
convention this afternoon and to
night.
With the convention actually in
progress at the Opera House this
morning. and the prospect of a bit
ter fight between the supporters OF
Our Bill" for sheriff and his oppo
nents, l.. l.. McCandless, the party s
candidate for Delegate, came into the
breach and began to mend matters at
such a rapid rate that before noon a
compromise ticket was outlined.
This compromise ticket depends
largely on whether several prominent
haole Democrats will accept the plan
that is offered. The anti-Jarrett fac
ton at noon was apparently willing
to abide by the outcome of peace ne
gotiations.
The fight in prospect had several
acute angles. First there was the
open feud between the Jarrett forces
and the anti-Jarrett forces, the latter
being led by Gabriel Keawehaku and
Jack Kalakiela. Several of the coun-
try precincts, particularly in the Fifth
District, had been lined up almost
solidly for kalakiela, who has had his
eye on the isheriffship.
kalakiela personally was not CON
tceded chance to beat Jarrett for
the nomination, but there was evil
IDENTIFY an ugly scrap brewing, and
the Democratic leaders don't want a
factional fight during this campaign,
for they think If the party is harmo-
nious they can win in November.
Wilson's Alleged Attitude.
Another angle was the opposition
of John H. Wilson, prominent politi-
clan and Democratic national com
mitteeman for Hawaii, to any program
which involved the nomination of
James l.. Coke for the Senate. Will
son and his close political associates
insisted, so ii is said, that Coke run
for county attorney and not for the
Senate, and wanted G. J. Waller to run
for the Senate. He also wanted At
torney ]. Lightfoot to withdraw from
the county attorneys race and becom-
a candidate for Representative. The
main feature. however, of his attitude
as conveyed to the Jarrett leaders was
that Coke must run for county at
torney.
With these issues in prospect, the
situation as the convention openci
this morning looked anything bu;
guarantee or harmony. Since yester-
day afternoon the talk of compromise
has been growing, and when the Kala-
kiela forces came today prepared TO
put up good scrap, MCCandless
thought 1t time TO get in and stop the
81 lit from widening.
There was lot of hurried whisper
ing around among delegations and the
leaders in both districts were called
Into consultation. Kalakiela soon
agreed to run for the house instead of

in April Harvey WattersOns repre-
sentative from Tennessee. whose SON.
Henry Watterson, now the veteran eQ-
itOr of the Louisville COURIER ol-rnall
was then. only six weeks old. delivered
a speech in opposition TO a Dill m
trOduced by John Bell OF tennessee
which was aimed al prohibiting the
use Of federal patronage IN Influencing
elections.
AR. Watterson took up the Harris
burg convention that had nominated
Harrison and attacked IL in detail he

some had worn the black c0clzade in

been guilty of supporting John Quincy
