BOYD BOOM FOR CONGRESS
IS SPROUTING ON HAWAII

II see that the people Of Honolulu have
begun talking politics. preparing for the
next campaign" said the Early Riser
1T seems to mo to be premature"
THAT depends on circumstances" said
Mr. Loebenstein. There was not time
enough last fall to accomplish what was
intended so that 1t is better to begin
early and avoid the rush. There's lot
of things to be done in a campaign and
even though nothing is done at once
matters may be talked over The death
of MIR. Ewaliko will necessltate a 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 l. 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 / guess we should
think a little about successor to Mr.
Wilcox as delegate to Washington"
ITS good think that lights on Super
intendent Boyd for that important place.
said Mr.. Loebenstein. And the remark
was such a surprise to the guests at the
board that they dropped their sinkers
and the sea III one of the paintings on
the wall fell back TO allow the effect to
pass over. There seemed to be an i'm
preston existing that the speaker had
an eye on Mr.. wilcox's chair for him
sell. You need not look at me that
way" continued Locbenstein. Jimmie
Boyd is popular with haoles and Hawaii
ans alike, and believe he would make a
good successor to the present delegate.
Mr.. 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 a
pneumarthros!s 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 a
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. l hope you lol-
low me-"
Anybody could on that proposition
said the Cheerful Liar. IAN 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 a 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
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 MIN 1t was not with the idea that
they We're sending him to school. Fed
eral buildings 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
