have informed the Star-Buletin
that
they will noi make the race.
James Gibb. manager of Honolulu
plantation, in a communication to this
ipaper. received this morniug, says:
"I would iay that I have no ?rire
to run for supervisor for several rea
sons and have already so advised th t
business men's committee of my views!
on this matter. I would much prefer
doing my part as a citizen outside of
the board by cooperating with them
in a general way."
Mr. Gibb believes that Charles Ar
nold, now a member of the board.
would be a strong candidate for re -
election from Ea district. .
F. L. Waldron, also indorsed as a
candidate for the board, said yester
day afternoon that he will not run.
"I was willing to run on a strictly
business ticket, without regard to
partylines and supported simply as a
proposition of the Dest and most effi
cient men for the places," he says,
"but as the committee's report indors
ed only men of one party, I do not
feel that it is a strictly business men's
ticket."

but he says that his determination
not to run under the circumstances is

That J. M. Dowsett, who was Jn-

eral davs and the report received gen
eral circulation yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Dowsett today would say only
that he is not yet ready to make any
statement on the matter.
Others, say. that the apathy shown
by the community, generally has
been a great disappointment , to the
men who worked hard and success
fully to secure the consent of a large
number of prominent citizens to be
come political candidates, and that
the indifference of the businessmen
to this or any other ticket has made
the candidates feel that they are get
