Now.

HIIO, July 1O-"As soon as 1 return
from waimea," said John Baker to
Tribune Representative yesterday, i
shall inaugurate a movement which 1
believe will have an important bearing
on the choice of successor to Gov
ernor Dole Governor Dole viii be out
in less than year and it is time some
thing should be done to ascertain the
choice of the voters of Hawaii regard
ing his successor. 1 believe" contin-
ued Mr.. Baker, that the President of
the United States will give some heed
to the wishes of the people of Ha-
wall. 1 propose that every voter be
given a chance to sign petition asking
the President to appoint the choice of
the petitioners. 1 want to send petit
ton to the President; one to the House
of Representatives and one to the Unit
ed States Senate. 1 want the President
to know whom We want for Governor.
We want the best man and l believe
the wish of the majority of the voters
of Hawaii will be conclusive proof of
who that man is.
Il shall make a tour of this Island
first and explain to the Hawaiian peo-
pie my object. 1 shall urge them to
sign for the nomination of a good, hon
est, reliable man. Whoever seems to
have the lead, providing he is a good
man, and a man who Will not forget
the Hawaiians, will be the man I shall
work for. 1 want the people to unite.
1 want to send petitions to Washington
bearing thousands of names. After we
cover Hawaii, we will circulate the pc
ts.s all 10 T-I-
ands Citizens, regardless of color will
be asked to sign. 1 believe we can
show the President whom we want"
who is your choice?"
THE best man." said Mr.. Baker. II
do not believe we should seek to have
the President appoint an Hawaiian.
But we want a white man who regards
the rights and feelings of the Hawai- |
ians. I could name few white men
whom we do not want but 1 prefer to
wait and find out the popular will
