litical pot ceased to simmer and be-
gan to boil The Hawaiians, in whom

have expressed themselves in favor
of placing David Ewaliko in the posi-
ticn made vacant by his fathers

thoroughly competent and is reputed
to possess liberal views. His lack of
experience caused some to oppose

the friends of ]. N. Kamoku of Puma.

instead of the younger man.
At a meeting of about $50 Hawaii
ans Monday night it was plain that
