ture.
Republicans in this precinct will meet

ganizing and electing officers for the

The Home Rulers in Kohala and Ko-
ma are searching for a few odd candi-
| dates for election to the lower house i'm
| the Legislature next November Up to
! date number of them have asked the
support of the voters, but the party
| leaders are not quite satisfied and have
added the names of al least two Repub-
| leans. The total number of candidates
| SO far enrolled is fourteen, but as it is
stll early in the day more will be
| forthcoming. Following is the list as
| furnished the Herald:
| John Mcguire, Keiikoa, GIalulani.

! The Hawaii Herald in its around
| the Coffee Shops" gossip says:
Il understand that Kona and Kohala
| Is punching up in politics" said the
! Kicker. Il mean the Home Rule side
! of politics. and up to date fourteen can
! didates have presented their names for
| the good deeds of the pOpulaCe. AS
there are but four to be elected it will
take hard scratching at the polls for
! those four to work out their Valuation
And it won't hurt the Republican party
a little bit, because if the average Home
! Ruler does not get what he wants in
| the convention he will seek it by per-
/ sOnal application to individuals who

is one thing of having fourteen candi-
| dates for the lower house; they have
! not been able to suggest the names of
! that many candidates from their own
| party, so they have drawn from the
! Republican side. | don't know just how
they stand in the Senatorship: | sup
pose nothing less than eight viii salts

You are not next" said a Hawaiian
/ Wait until you hear from the Aloha
/ Alma party We are going to surprise
/ you in the line of nominations for the
! Legislature And we are solid for Col
James II. Boyd for Delegate to Congress
And let me tell you that if he viii ac-
| cept the nomination he will win hands
| down against all corners. There's no
/ use thinking about nominating a haole
/ for you cannot elect him without our
| votes, and we want a Hawaiian to re-
/ present Hawaii in Congress Yes, that
| was our wish last time and we got it,
Dut the man has been a great diSap-
/ pointnent to us. We expected that the
patriot would go to Washington and do
something for Hawaii and those he
calls his people. But what has he done ?
| Absolutely nothing aside from winning
the diSpleaSure of the Executive by ask
ing Congress to make his salary $780,
600, and | infer from what | have read
in the newspapers that Wilcox is there
for what there is in it, and that is not
usual with the man who does much for
the district he represents"
GU were told that before YOU elect
ed him. said the Cheerful Liar. but
because he was a loudmouth yawp go
ing through the country promising to
nave the Queen restored as soon as he
got into Congress you voted for him.
He knew it was impossible when he
made the promise. Some Hawaiians
were foolish enough to believe what
he told them, but | have been in
formed that since he feared to deliver
the goods they are willing to vote for
anyone next November rather than him
If you decide upon Boyd, all right; / be-
lieve he will be elected; he is popular
man among Hawaiians and whites, and
l believe his popularity will extend tC
the National Capital and that good re-
suits will follow. White residents would
like TO have white delegate, but they
are not going to fight merely because
or the colors of the mans skin-its
brains that count, and | guess Col
Boyd has the requisite amount to fiji
him for Congress"
