POLITICS HOT
ON MAUI

MAUI. Sept. 2S.-Polltics In wailuku
have been most quiet and hence un-
Interesting during the past week A
week ago last Saturday most OF the
Home Rule candidates held a rally In
front OF the wailuku market at which
John W. Kalua, the nominee for coun-
ty sheriff, was the chief orator. He
advocated the construction by the
county OF large market at wailuku.
He attacked the present Board of Su-
pervisors. stating that their expendi-
ture in the engineering department was
extravagant.
A rather extraordinary incident oc-
CURED at the Hamakuapoko native
church last Sunday. Just after the
regular service before the congrega-
tion had dispersed two Home Rulers
made themselves conspicuous by talk
ing politics instead OF religion. They
were Edward Wilcox OF Ulupalakua
local candidate for supervisor. and
Adam X. Forsyth of Kula, candidate
for deputy sheriff. As no hall could
be obtained on the plantation premises
of Hamakuapoko to disseminate Home
Rule doctrine they made use of this
trick to obtain hearing by Hamakua-
poko citizens.
REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN.
During the week, the Republican
campaigners have been busy in the
country places of both East and West
Maui The legislative contingent un-
der managership of Senator S. E. Ka-
lama. and including Messrs. w. j.
Coelho, Philip Pail, Joel Nakaleka,
Joseph and NJ. p. waiwaiole, will
speak tonight in wailuku.
They had fine meeting at Paia ma
tive church last night and well-at-
tended meeting at Pulehuiki Kula,
yesterday afternoon.
Their stumping tour of East Maui
was lilOSt SuSStsSlul. al Ntdlde tne
people received them well but are still
somewhat "kanalua" (doubtfuD about
leaving Democracy for Republicanism
In Hama they had good crowds but
found most enthusiasm at Kipahulu
and Kaupo. At Makena the SPELL
binders had some difficulty with the
citizens but the misunderstanding be-
ing overcome the meeting ended with
handshake all around.
The Republican nominees. when on
a tour around the island, do not sport
Panama hats or boiled shirts. They
| have a rough and ready appearance
as to dress which probably Is more
appealing to the rank and file of their
party than gala clothes, besides being
| more suitable to long rides along dusty
roads.
The Board of Registration sat yes
terday at Peahi and Pauwela and to-
day will sit at Kaupakalua and Ma
| kawao. They are just completing a
tour of Feast Maui from an opposite
direction to that taken by the polti-
clans. The Board report satisfactory
progress as to the registration of the
voters of Maui so far.

later in the season.
