THE MAUI
ELECTION
Home Rule Winners
inexperienced
Men.

Tuesdays election on Maui was simply
appalling to Republicans, while the
Home Rulers though jubilant were
amazed at a success beyond all their
previous claims. They expected TO win
majority Of the offices but never
claimed the whole. They now begin to
think of the responsibility they have
assumed and of the inexperience of the
men they have chosen to manage the
business of such large corporation as
the County Of Maui.
The average majority obtained by
Home Rule candidates excepting the
Supervisors is 140 votes; including the
Supervisors the Republicans as whole
lost by an average of 1877 votes; which
is more than accounted for by disaf-
fections within their own ranks. A
change Of but 81 votes accomplished
the Republican defeat and comparing
the present results with those Of last
election, 1t is noted that there was a
disaffection of SO votes in Wailuku, 80
votes in Hama, 80 or 40 votes in Hama
kuapoko (probably at Pauwela), Home
loss of 20 or 80 majority at Kalaupapa
should also be mentioned.
The shrewdest party management
and the most strenuous efforts by plan
tations and individuals are necessary
for assured Republican success on
Maui.
The following was the vote cast at
the election:
Supervisors-W. II. Cornwell. Jr.,
rs; j. X. Hihio, 767; G. p. Kauimaka-
ole, 761; C. l.. Kookoo, 724; 7. B. Lyons,
