great need in closer organization by all
the parties if any effective political |
work is to be done. Even in the Re-
publican ranks-the only party on Maui
hat is really organized-there is great
danger as regards discussions.
Al the last convention Waihee
.eader left the convention and probably
the Republican party because he was
not elected as a delegate to the Ter
ritorial Convention. 1t is reported that
he is now talking of disregarding party
lines and of selecting nine candidates
for legislative honors from the three
parties. The dissension of this politi-
clan is typical of what is likely to hap
pen at the coming nominating con-
vention if all local 'favorites are not
chosen as candidates for the legisla-
ture. Thomas Clark of Waikiki stated
recently in political address that the
Maui Republicans had secured nearly
all of the most able of the native poll

Wilcox seems to have made a mistake
on Maui At his nominating conven
ton at Waikiki on September 1st, the
slate that was carried through the con-
vention is not at all satisfactory to
many of the Independents. In the first

are little known in politics and but a
few of them have any political infiu-
ence. Then, too, there's great dissatis-
faction with the apportionment. The
Kula precinct which registers about
seventy voters gets two of the nine
candidates (Kamakele and Eldredge)
and is thus put on an equality with
Waikiki whose registration will prob
ably foot up to more than 400. So an
other nominating convention, a So
called Democratic assemblage is sum-
moned to meet at Waikiki on the oath.
This time it is to be a fusion between
Independents and Democrats. Wilcox
simply summoned his friends and ad-
herents here and there all over the ISL
and, but this time the delegates are to
be regularly chosen by the different
allow the Democrats one candidate for
senator and probably w. II. Cornwell
will be the nominee. The two other
candidates will be natives, one of whom
probably will be Thomas Clark. Rev.
]. Kamakele of Kula has refused the
Wilcox party nomination for represen-
tative. From all this it is evident that
politics on Maui are in rather a chaotic
state.
