begun talking politics, preparing for the
next campaign, said the Early Riser.
TT seems to me to be premature
THAT depends on circumstances said
Mr. Loebensten. There was not time
enough last fall to accomplish what was
: intended so that it is better to begin
early and avoid the rush. There's lot
of things to be done in campaign and
even though nothing is done at once
matters may be talked over. The death
of Mr.. Ewaliko viii necess;tate special
election in the event of the Governor
calling an extra session. This election
for Hawaii does not materially interest
Honolulu; it is in this district that the
people should begin to think about what
is to be done Unless the Republicans
organize better than they did last fall,
they will be 1, 2. g. out the next time the
polls are opened
I'm not much in favor of long engage
ments or long campaigns" said the
Cheerful Liar, but l guess we should
think a little about a successor to Mr..
Wilcox as delegate to Washington"
It's good think that lights on Super
intendent Boyd for that important PLACE
said Mr. Loebensteip. And the remark
was such surprise to the guests at the
board that they dropped their sinkers
and the sea in one of the paintings on
the wall fell back to allow the effect to
pass over There seemed to be an inn
preston existing that the speaker had
an eye on Mr. Wilcox's chair for him
self. You need not look at me that
way" continued Loebenstein Jimmie
Boyd is popular with haoles and Hawaii
ans alike, and / believe he would make a
good successor to the present delegate
MIR. Boyd is a Hawaiian thoroughly in
touch with the people of of Hawaii and
their wants. AS Superintendent of Pub
lie Works he is what was formerly
known as Minister of the Interior and
he has shown that he can handle
pneumarthrosis with the same ease and
grace that the average society lady does
the stakes in bridge whist His promo
ton was not only just but it was in the
nature of Precipitation. The idea that
Hawaiian should not represent the terri
tory in Congress has been expressed so
often since Mr. WilcoX's advent that it is
becoming hallucinatory and must be
blocked or disaster will result / believe
that Mr.. Boyd is the logical successor to
Wilcox; he is bright and intelligent, and
he is not simulacrum | hope you lol-
low me-.
Anybody could that proposition,
said the Cheerful Liar. ''All you have
to do is to make il plain, Mr.. Boyd is
all right, he has been so many years
in his department that he knows every
road and every place where road is
needed in these islands, and knowing this
much he knows. where federal improve
ments are needed. | wouldn't be sur
prised if he knew when the last coat of
paint was put on the postoffice. Mr.. Sew
erance says it was before Joe Marsden
left here for Hamakua and that's about
twenty years ago. | have no doubt if we
could send him to Washington he would
get among other things, an appropria-
ton of funds for Sticking the building up
a bit Wilcox is a nit; if you ask him,a
question he throws in a Delsartian atti-
tude expressing deep thought and looks
wise and then answers your question
with aole wau ike, and you leave him re-
freshed. He seems to have learned
something through his associations in
Washington but when the people voted
for Idm it was not with the idea that
they We're. sending him to school Fed
eral tHildings are needed here, and the
only way we can get them is to have a
man in Congress who will work for
them
They may campaign and talk politics
all they please" said the Kicker but
when the time comes the Hawaiians will
get in and vote for whom they please;
they are as clannish as the haoles when
it comes to an election or anything else
in which they think they can win a point
by sticking together Boyd is liked by
the Hawaiians, and as At is their vote
that swings the election he would prob
ably get in. | am satisfied on one point
and that is: no haole can go as delegate
until more of them are here to vote. They
talk about all becoming Republicans but
that don't amount to shucks. They might
say they would join the Democratic par
ty, and the result would be the same
they will vote for who they please We
all remember how they shouted for Sam
Parker the last time, and how they voted
for Wilcox"
Politics don't bother me half as much
as some other things said the Early
Riser. Il would rather study and learn
how to keep the Porto RicanS and others
out of my chicken yard than to go to
Congress or say who would GO | hate to
bring a pullet from the egg to the broil-
ing stage merely to have some fellow
come along after | have gone to bed and
lift it. but that's what / am experiencing
in these days. Take it in Olaa anG' the
people do not have adequate protection,
There is policeman at Keaau and an
other at twelve miles, which is but three
miles distant, and from there to the Vol
cano House there is no one and vet
there are~almost as many Porto Ricans
camped at Mountain View as at Keaau.
The thing gets tiresome when a man
cannot send his children to a neighbor's
house a hundred yards away without
their being held up by a lot of Portu-
guese and Porto Rican hoodlums."
You should establish house of learn
ing for them and educate then in the |
way they should CO., said Mr. Loeben-
stein. DO not forget that those people |
are now Americans and that each has a |
vote, under certain conditions, and you |
NAV want him a his rjobt OF
