POLITICAL POT
ON kauai HAS
BEGUN TO boil

The Garden Island contains the fol.
lowing political gossip from Kauai:
! Mr.. T. Brandt of Waimea, and
James KuIa of Koloa are mentioned
as very probable candidates on the
Republican ticket for the house of re.
representatives. at the approaching
election.
mr. Hf6tlt Is not an avowed can
6idate. hui has been approached so
earnestly ~ his friends that he has
shown signs cf: yielding to their
wishes. Iii would undoubtedly sweep
the western end of the island, and
would probably carry most of the
other precincts as we'll Mr. Kula is
well known, is capable and popular,
and would probably have little diff
Guilty at the polls.
Personal friends of E. A. Knudsen
are responsible for the statement
that the veteran legislator will be a
candidate to succeed himself in the
senate Mr. Knudsen is still away
from the islands, but it is understood
that he has already signified his
wishes, and intentions in letters to
party workers.
Several others are on the edge Of
the lime-light, but not sufficiently
visible to make them "availables" Just
al present. 1t seems likely, however,
that there will be quite sufficient ma
terial from which the party may
choose before the primaries come on.
"As far as the Garden Island can
learn. no disposition has yet appeared
on the surface to make any changes
in the personnel of supervisors and
other county officers. However, it is
still early"

Barron was at the wharf in good

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. L.
The site for a new public building in
Honolulu must net cost in excess OF
s425, 900. If sufficient ground cannot
be secured on the Mahuka site at that
aggregate figure, another location will
be selected.
This seems to be the ultimatum
which the treasury officials, acting
on advice furnished them by the su-
pervising architects office, will give
to the people of Honolulu. Assistant
Secretary Newton, who has charge
of all public building matters, frank
ly informed the Star Bulletins cores
pendent that a final decision had been
virtually reached 10 pay no more
than S425,000 for a satisfactory and
desirable site. He said the sum OF
S525, 000 demanded for the Mahuka
site would NOT be paid. He regarded

The report from District Attorney

that the government would not pay
S525, 600 for the Mahuka SITE. The
amount was asserted to be too high

1t was made plain that treasury de-
