The Hilo Tribune of November

The Hilo Tribune of November I
says:
From the interviews which follow
| II appears that the sentiment among
Hilo Republicans Is that no effort
snOuld be made at this special election
to place a candidate In the field bacl''
ed by the regular Republican organi.
cation. The opinions published and
those not published are based upon
various grounds. Some claim that II
Is useless to combat sea OF Hawaii
an votes. Some say It would cost too
much. Some say that the Republican
Organization Is in shreds and tatters
and could not be set In motion. 9th.
ers are firmly of the opinion that to
nominate candidate would be an
open and undisguised affront to the
Hawaiians who cain to be pitching
their tents In the direction of the Re.
publican party and harmony.
| Sheriff l.. A. Andrews Is decidedly
opposed to the Republican party plac-
ing rival candidate In the field. He
said to a representative OF the Trib'
lune:
For the Republicans to put man
in nomination against James Lewis
would be very unwise. Lewis is well
known to all as an honest and intelli.
gent man. as well as broad.minded
citizen. At the last general election.
he was nominated by the Republicans
and had their support and was, per.
haps, the best man on their ticket for
Representative.
THE Hawaiian political organiza.
ton has shown the good sense to put
him up for election to I'LL the vacancy
left by the death of Ewaliko. This Is
to a certain extent conciliatory &C
ton on the part OF the Hawaiians. II
shows their appreciation OF the action
OF the Republican party at the last
election. Should the Republican par
lty put another man In the field against
Lewis, as few hot.heated ones dc
sire, 1t would be naturally and proper
~ attributed to no other cause than
q desire to oppose the wishes OF the
Hawaiian element Of our population.
1.-THE real interests OF the Hawaiians
and the so-called haOles In this Terri
tory are not conflicting. ine proper
course for the Republican party Il
pursue Is to do what II can toward
healing the breach which exists or ha,
existed between the haole and the Ha
waiian.
mo good can come from keeping
this breach open. The Hawaiians oi
this district have come half way Il
meet the haole by nominating Jane.
Lewis. We. on our side. should no
be slow to accept the olive brancl
held out by them.
THE Republican party organization
should aim to compromise matters
with the new Hawaiian political or
ganiZation so as to have voice II
their deliberations and endeavor I,
guide tnem rather than to hgh
them"
my opinion" said Mr.. Alfonso, pub
Usher of "A Vos Publica." the Portu
guese paper lis that the Republican
should not oppose Jim Lewis at thi
special election. Lewis was the Re
publican candidate at the last election
and so far there Is no evidence tina
he has changed his political views
, Another reason is that the Republican
! party in this district Is In no cond
ton to put up a winning fight. b.
supporting Lewis at this election, tn
Republican party will obtain the graf
itude of large number OF Hawaiian
and their possible support at the mex
general election"
DR.. Rice. who Is strong believe
in active work among party me
whether there is a chance OF winnin
or not said: SHOULD the Hawaiian
persist in their antl-haole policy ce
tainly could not join in any party o.
ganization that would endorse thei
candidate. James Lewis believe
be good man to NIL the place {
Ewaliko. ] question whether our RI
publican organization is called upo
at this time to put up a candidate
