With Molokai and Lanai and one
precinct in Kauai unreported, Prince
Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole has a ma
jority unprecedented. The magnificent
showing indicated in the figures above
is made CUP as follows: Oahu, 9S2;
Hawaii, s662; Kauai, 252; Maui, 2S
The missing returns will, without
doubt, increase this excellent showing,
for the leper settlement should add
materially to the majority of the Re-
publican leader and the result should
be in the neighborhood of 2,050. The
fact that Molokai has not been reported
cannot be understood here, for it was
expected that the returns would be
rushed to Chairman Pogue as quickly
as possible.
With this magnificent victory for the
head of the ticket has come as great
a triumph in the selection of a legis-
lature which is predominantly Repub-
lican. From the figures at hand, the
senate will be composed of nine Re
publicans, three being hold-over and
six elected Tuesday, five hold-over
Home Rulers, and one Democrat,
Palmer P. Woods, who had, as well,
the endorsement of the Wilcox party.
This is an absolute reversal In the
House the strength of the Republicans
is not quite that of the Home Rulers
last time, though closely approaching
it. There have been chosen twenty Re
publicans and ten Home Rulers.
The news of the victory outside OF
Oahu came slowly yesterday, the first
being that of the steamer Mikahala
from Kauai. With one precinct mis-
sing, and that one does not have suf
ficient votes to in any way alter the
results, Prince Kuhio polled $50 votes
as against 32S for Wilcox, making his
majority 252. Great as was this vote
S. w. Wilcox, the candidate for the
senate, ran even better, for he received
600 votes, as against 3O7 for his oppo-
nent, or a majority of 293. But with
this showing, the Kauai folk went on
and elected the entire Republican tick
vote for John Gandall and the lowest
for Kali, who was, nevertheless, 179
ahead of Speaker Akina, who headed
his ticket.
While this information came early
in the morning, there was long wait
before the next news. and this turned
up in the form of a short message from
Chairman Pogue 1t said: 'Kuhio
ten ahead on the island of Maui" This
from the most doubtful island of the
entire group, where the urgent call
from Desha took the candidate away
very soon, meant the fulfillment of the
one greatest wish of the Prince, that
he might have a majority of, the votes
kou each of the principal islands of the
Kyroup. This scant news was later in
the evening laid in the shade, when
Chairman Crabbe received the last
message of the day from Pogue. 1t is
slightly involved as to the number of
precincts reported, though it is taken
to mean that the returns come only
from Maui, 1t said that Dickey was
chosen senator and five Republican
representatives were elected certainly.
There were no names given, put

dropped out of the Republican column
was L. Won Tempsky. The same au-
thority gave Beckley as the Home
Ruler who secured the place.
With such news from the north. tae
returns from Hawaii were expected.
and they came in the shape OF the
following message from Chairman
Holstein at Kohala:
Cupid 1,707, Wilcox 1,045. Senators
elected-Wood (Dem), and Desha
(Rep.). Representatives Dis
trict-Lewis (Rep), Kekino I'll. R.)
Purdv (H. r., Fernandez Nh. R);
sentatives-SecoEd Distrlct-Pu-
laa (Rep.), Greenwell (Rep), Wright
(Rep.). Makahalupa Oh. RI.
The message was one OF the surprls-
es of the entire campaign. The eiec-
tion of Paris to the senate was consid-
cred certain. Desha had written TO MS
hrother here that there would be no
Sonht of the election of Paris, but that
he would be beaten by Woods. Ine
results indicate that there was at WORK
q force which had been underestimated
at FIRST. This was the influence or Jullan
Monsarrat, who had for time moved
in conjunction with Palmer Woods, the
Kan man working for the senator on
his side of the island, while the SEN
ator carried the Independent along on
tho other side. The Kekino mentioned
is Kekino Kealawaa.
