William T. Rawlins, attorney, for

Though there are number OF can

ton, as he has a large following and
is popular with all classes Of voters.
Furthermore, it is pointed out that
if elected he will be the logical man
for chairman of the judiciary COM

man in 1911, nor w. J. Sheldon, chair
man in 1913, is running for the house
this year and no candidate is in sight,
say the political observers, who can

Businessman Stands for Eff

Following his declaration of sever
al weeks ago that he would be willing
to run for supervisor on platform of
efficiency and businesslike admins
tration, John L. Fleming, of James F.
Morgan Company, is today filing, his
nomination papers as Republican.
Strong assurances of support have
been given Fleming that if his name
goes on the ticket the voters of both
the Fourth and Fifth districts-he is
a resident of the latter-will stand by
him. He is popular among the Ha-
waiian voters and his business exper-
fence and interest in public affairs
has guaranteed him, say his friends,
the practically unanimous. support of
the businessmen of Honolulu and outer
districts. .= ~..... o."
Fleming believes that the city can
be run in more businesslike way
and that there is opportunity for
public-spirited men to go to the front
and offer their services. Though he
is staunch Republican, he is not
making his fight on strictly parti-
san basis but on a platform demand
ing the greatest good for the city.
