editor of Ike Aloha Alma, foremost here
tofore OF Democrat vernacnlar papers.
II is said that in this week edition
Of Ke Aloha Alma, Kahauielio made a
yitriolic attack on City Engineer w. A.
Wall. Kahaulelio is said TO have stated
in his paper that Wall had already been
two weeks in Office and yet he had not
hrcd the Republican employees in his dc.
lartment. Hence, Wall was not a true
Democrat.
When II is known that McCandless

that he has been and is stauneh
friend and supporter of City Engineer

friend, the Democratic candidate for
Delegate to Congress grew wrothy.
The upshot OF the whole thing was
that MeCandless immediately notified
Mr.. Kahaulelio that his services as edi-
tor of the McCandloss paper were dis

MeCandless and Kahaulelio has been
brewing for some time, Shortly after

Neither Mr.. MeCandless nor Mr.. Ka.

Rice, j. X. Kalanianhole, L. l.. Me,
Gandless, George r. Carter, Charles X.
Motley and David X Kahaulelio. There
