votes than Cotrea, leading his own
ticket by four hundred over Writ
and nearly eight hundred over Iau-
kea. The nomination of the latter
was not even definitely certain early
this morning, he being only two
votes ahead of f. K. Hanapi, with
the Hauula precinct yet to hear
from.
Revised returns of Saturdays pi-
mary indicate that Curtis 2. Iaukea
has been nosed out of the Democratic
nomination for the third place on the
senatorial ticket. When the totals were
cast up on Sunday morning, with Haul
Ia to be heard from, Iaukea was two
votes ahead of Hanapi. The last pre-
cinct ditched him.
The vote for Shingle was the
surprise of the contest, as it was
not supposed that he would run SO
far ahead of his ticket and even
beat Kuhio. That be would have
a big vote and would secure his
nomination easily was conceded
from the start, but his polling a big
ger grand total than the Prince, beat
ing Kuhio by well over two hundred
in the fourth was something unusual.
Louisson Surprises 80 o..
The big total run up for Louisson on
this island was another of the sur
prises of the campaign. He secured
five or six times as many votes as had
been anticipated, except by himself,
taking so many away from Kuhio that
his total with that of McCandless puts
the Delegate in the minority on Oahu.
II is known that many voted for Louis
son as a protest-against KuhiO, while a
large number of Democrats also voted
for the Hamakua planter, probably I'M
der instructions. In some precincts
there were a number of straight Demo-
cratic ballots with the exception of the
scratch given Louisson.
The representative ticket in the
fourth was about as expected, except
that q. 7. Alfonso ran far below the
expectation. A place on the ticket was
expected for him, instead of which he
ran eighth. The ticket stands: Clar-
ence Cooke, Lorrin Andrews, G.. p. Will
der, j. X. Jarrett T. II. Petrie and G.
N. Marques. Cooke led the ticket by
a lead of TIA over Wilder, who led the
next man, Andrews, by only eight, ac'
cording to the unofficial figures. The
average Republican vote was twice
that of the average Democratic vote.

The primary was a quiet one and d

only trifle more than fifty per cent
of the total number of registered Vot-
