strong supporter Of E. NJ. Watson fol
governor, but said that he would al
low himself to be considered candi
date for the gubernatorial position ii
event Mr. Watson's health shoult
make Ii impossible for him to continu,
his fight for the job.
Metzger later made q trip to Wash
ington. Since the nomination Of Pink
ham to that position, the senator hal
been in Honolulu three or four times
and each time the runor has revived
that he might be Pinkham's right
hand man.
Harrington Makes Positicn Plain.
Repeated mention of Wallace r
Harrington as possibility for the sec
retaryship today brought forth q posi-
tive statement from Mr.. Harrington al
follows:
an order to set the minds Of
the rumorologists at rest. will
again say that i am not now and
never have been an active or re-
ceptive candidate for the office Of
secretary OF the territory, or any
other public office. / Intend to
do all that can to assist In the
success of the Wilson Pink &
ham administration of the terris
tory and 4 hope every ether cit
zen and all officials will do the
same. It seems to me that the
office of secretary of the territory
should be held by one who is es-
sentially the particular personal
choice Of the governor. 1 would
not even presume to suggest to
Governor Pinkham or any other
governor q candidate for this POI
sitioh which is by all odds the
2 most important to the governor in
the whole list, as the man who
holds II is. or should be, the sec
ond III command and therefore In
perfect sympathy with the admin
istration ideas and absolutely
loyal to the governor personally. =
And thus so far there is no mar
openly out for the Job.
The case is Ear different with othel
political places. There are an abund
ance OF candidates for both the fed
eral and territorial leading Jobs, ailt
more are being heard from daily. Sew
eral have been quietly working fol
their success, and have had onlj
lately the limelight turned on theil
X, Il u. p, +.
NJ. G. Pacheco. supervisor and chair
man of the territorial central Demo
cratic committee, is not making AM
bones about his candidacy for thu
postmastership of Honolulu, ant
Charles Barron is likewise frank II
acknowledging his candidacy for thai
place. And therein lies one secret Of
the Pacheco- Barron controversy, al
Of which is another story. ~
C. A. Cottrillss friends are workins
TOR his retention as collector of In
ternal revenue. While It is said hi
has strong support in this move, Dem
ocrats, long waiting for an office, are
working against him in their own In
terests.
Collector of Customs E. R. Stack
able, like Cottrill, has support for re
appointment. He is not as fortunate
as the internal revenue collector
there are more men out for his job
E. g. Duisenberg and Charles ]. Nc
Carthy, now city and county treasurer
are two of the number.
It has just come to light that a new
man is out for c. A. Cottrill's job az
collector of internal revenue, ant
moreover that he has been workins
on the project for over six months
Also that this candidate has no hope
of local Democratic support and il
fact has apparently ignored the loca
leaders completely in his candidacy.
This newly discovered aspirant j!
H. L. Sauers. He is a homesteadel
in the Haiku district, island of Maui
and has been resident of the terri
tory but little more than a year. He
came here with his family from
southern California, where
he had been engaged in truck-farmint
in the desert country in the Imperta
valley. Sauers claims to be a Demo
crat of long standing and to have
been a wheelhorse for the party Ii
many campaigns not only in Califor
mia but also in Washington state
where he lived prior to his going t
the orange state.
Sauers opened his campaign for thu
local ,collectorship early last spring
when he took up the matter with Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois
whom he knew when both were resi-
dents of Washington. Lewis, it il
claimed, promised Sauers his support
Since that time Sauers has been aI
pealing directly to the leaders pf u,
