There is one question concerning
which Col; Iaukea is particularly
sensitive. After recent campaign
meeting on East Maui, a Republican
leader (Hawaiian) asked the Colonel
why it was that he had been a Repub-
lican, then Home Ruler and then
Democrat. That's my business" was
the curt reply.
1t is stated that F. w. Beckley in his
campaign speeches advises the people to
vote for certain Republicans.
a runlor that see&As to be generally
believed is that S. E. Kaiue will with
draw from the canvass for senator in
favor of one of the other candidates.
The secretary of the Democratic Ter
titorial Executive Committee during the
week has posted circulars to various
Maui citizens advising them that the
Democratic nomination of Iaukea is to
be taken seriously and that all Democrats
in the Territory should support him.
