Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1903-12-01

So much for few of the main causes
CT Republican defeat.
In East Hawaii the defeat of An
Crews was sown In the convention,
Tut Hilo Republicans were too magma
nimous to work for the defeat OF the
entire ticket. There are few more
causes leading to the downfall of the
party but | do not wish to touch on
them at present.
| will now give a brief estimate 0!
the successful Home Rule candidates
whose elections are mainly due to the
thorough and efficient work of their
leader, Senator S. f. Kaiue, for none
Of them can claim that their success
was due to personal popularity.
T. B. Lyons heads the Maui ticket
for Board OF Supervisors. He is
saloon man, and as sucn has come
into close touch with the masses. His
only education was received at the
! hands of Rev. Alex. Macintosh at the
Royal School, and that included only
the rudiments of simple English
education. Fbe is however far ahead
Of his colleagues in mental attain
ments. He owed his election partly to
/ Republican votes with whom he is a
taVorite and no one begrudges him
his election. County affairs will be
safe in his hands for he is endowed
with liberal views.
w. II. Cornwell, like Mr. Lyons. is a
democrat with Republican sympathies.
He Is manager Of his late fathers
ranch at WaiOhuli. His father not
satisfied with the educational faCii!-
ties the best colleges the islands af-
iorded, sent young Cornwell to the best
colleges in England for several years,
and as a result of his long stay in the
English capital, returned home a few
years ago. well covered with medals
for his wonderful exploits. not in the
field of science or letters. but OF sports,
and he is to-day one of Maui's leading
lathletes.
J. X, Hihio, C. L. Kookoo and G. X.
kauimakaole are the other members OF
the Board of Supervisors. They have
no English education but that is no
bar to success. Business methods they
are unaccustomed. The distrust OF the
mass of Hawaiians to educated Hawai-
isns led to the selection of these three,
for in the minds of the masses the
|only advantage his educated brother
has over him Is that the latter has ac-
Iquired the nefarious habits OF the
white man. The treacherous conduct
lof some of the Hawaiians has confirm
led them into this belief, and no logic
can convince them otherwise.
Of the county officers the county at
torney, Jno. Richardson. is the ablest.
Auditor Crook, Sheriff White, Assessor
ID. X. Kahaulelio, County Clerk D. II.
kahaulelio and Treasurer p. Cockett,
are like fishes out OF the water for they
are all entering into duties unknown
to them, but contrary to expectations
they may prove efficient officials, which
Is the hope of every true citizen Of
Maui. j. X. Kahookele, the county
surveyor, Is I.ahainaluna graduate.
II the unexpected happens and the
County Act stands, the conduct of the
internal affairs of the ship of state OF
the Maui County will be under the
guidance of the five supervisors emu
merated above, providing they all get
their bonds approved. For better or
TOR worse, they will be In supreme
command for one year.
Some Of the gubernatoral appointees
OF the past week may be an added po-
tent factor for Home Rule success a
hnn.n
Republican party cares to win Maui
next year, tactics must be changed
and the man OF the hour to take the

Hon Sam +. Kalama, man who has
Few enemies and not dictatorial in his
methods; man who has clean leg
