bon candidate for delegate. in discuss
ing the results of the election.
Little disappointment was displayed
in Democratic circles today over the
election outcome, In spite OF the fact
that the Republicans effected practl-
cally clean sweep" The Bourbons
are of the opinion that McCandless
waged an excellent campaign and de-
clare that if they had two weeks more
of campaigning they would have car
ried the ticket hands down.
Il wish to thank the voters for, the
magnificent support on this island,
McCandless continues. and the voters
on the other islands for their support.
OF course. | realize that il is hard for
the Democratic party to win the dele
gateship on this island on account OF
the strong support given the ReRuoll-
can delegate here through the busi-
ness interests. r.. -. -: ~.
But in my opinion the business in
terests are doing a great deal OF
harm to the territory and the time
will come when they will realize the
great number of enemies they are
making on the mainland through their
political action and through their
electing a delegate who does not at
tend to the duties of his office -.
Speaking of the protest which he
asserts has been brought out as re-
suit of the election, McCandless con.

Yesterdays voting on Oahu pro-
duced no marked surprises to the in
'ner circles of the party. While hoping
that at least two out of three senators
would win by a narrow margin, the
lead of the opposition in the primary
was such as to make 1t plain from
the start that it would be by no means
easy to effect 1t. That we landed one
senator and five representatives on
Oahu. as against the Republicans two
senators and seven representatives
shows that Democracy IS bv no means
dead nor has reason tn feel the re-
suits as defeat of the partS's prin-
ciples or mandates. We look conf

the county election next June. -.
