HILO, May 21.-Sheriff Samuel K.
Pua Is reelected for another two years
and everybody except the ardent 1884
supporters of Keolanui feels delighted
Pua got 1854 votes and as there is no
democratic candidate for the sheriff
ship, he Is elected to office to succeed
himself.
For the Craftsmanship of the board
of supervisors there was no great
fight for the nominations when it came
to a showdown. For the Republicans,
the incumbent, Samuel Kauhane, ran
away from all the opposition and
scored 1888 votes to Norman K. Ly-
mans 462 and J. D. Lewis ITO. On
the Democratic ticket David Ewaltko
got 602 votes to d. K. Bakers 81. The
reelection of Kauhane next month
seems certain, Judging from the sup
port given his opponent, David EVA
liko, as he was a certainty for the
nomination over Baker. 8.
For supervisors of East Hawaii, the
two Democrats, Moore and B. Rose, OF
course, got the nominations, but their
scores were only A and 211, respec-
lively.
On the Republican ticket, the three
present supervisors, A. M. Cabrinha,
E. III. Lyman and w. A. Todd got the
nominations. This was regarded as
certainty, although 1t was realized that
Henry J. Lyman would poll well and
might nose one Of the present solons
out Of office. Henry almost did the
trick and he got to within "a votes OF
Todd. Among the others who polled
better than most people expected were
w. n. Barringer with 449 votes and
John Kai, with 476. The "also rams"
were Kukona, who polled 33S; Hama,
with 307; Aiona with 143, and Laeha,
who received III pledges Of loyalty.
The winners scored as follow: Ca
brinha, 728; e. II. Lyman, COS, and
w. A. Todd, $40. -
In West Hawaii the race for nomina-
ton as supervisor was close among the
Republicans and is resulted as follows:
.. Ako, go; Kaupiko. Sc; r: Naipo,
4s7; p. Haze, 303; ]. Koomoa, 357; A.
Akina. SAT. On the nonpartisan ticket
was Julian Yates and he, of course,
got the nomination. On the Demo
cratic ticket w. Apela received q
votes and w. Kalaiwai, 43. The only
thing Of interest left for the regular
election next month Is the fight that
Akina will put up against the present
members Of the board-Yates, Ako and
Naipo, Some people say, that Akina
can win the seat, but others declare
that the old members will be re-
turned.
The fight for the position of county
clerk was settled at the primaries
when Archie Hapai polled 1861 votes
to g. X. loves 813. It was q two to
one victory for Hapai, who also led
the whole Republican ticket, only be-
'ne beaten by Sheriff Pua. who polled
1864.
For the sheriffship there was 9
light between Pua and Keolanui and
interest ran high IN the election. Pua
won by 1864 to 1884 and that means
that he Is elected for another two
years. as there 8 no Democratic nomi-
nee for the Office.
Taking 1t altogether. the primaries
went . .st q the dopesters had II
mapped out, and 1t would seem that
the regular election next month will
90 the same way, with the possible
chance OF Akina beating one OF the
supervisors from West Hawaii
