REPUBLICANS GET
BUSY On MAUI
Precinct Elections Bring Out a
Number of Good Men
Close Voting.

WAILUKU, Maui, July 25.-Last
Friday evening the various precincts
held their elections to select officers for
the ensuing two years.
There was a good attendance of
electors at the polls in Waikiki, and
| 122 votes were cast.
There were two tickets in the field,
and a lively contest for supremacy
ensued.
Good men were put up, and in many
instances there was but little choice.
The closest vote was between Cap
tain w. E. Bal and County Attorney
D. H. case Captain Bal won by a
vote of 80 to So. There were three
votes rejected for County Attorney
Case and one for Captain Bal.
Captain Bal has always been consid-
cred tine most popular man in Waikiki
and undoubtedly still is so. He was
born here, and the man is yet to be
found who can truthfully say a word
TO his discredit. That County Attorney
ney Case, a comparatively recent ar
rival, ran so near him was surprise
even to Mr. Case.
Another man who developed unusual
strength was A. Enos, the proprietor
of the Pioneer Store. He defeated
Supervisor Kaiue by IA votes.
Those elected are the following:
President, w. F. Bal; vice president,
Geo. Weight; second vice president, A..
Enos: secretary, +. I'll. Hart; assistant
TX frDo
l.. NJ Baldwin, executive committee,
H. B. Penhallow, w f. Robinson, W.
A. Mckay r. A. Wadsworth, S. Ke-
liinoi; Judges of election, Moses Kauhi-
mahu, George Maxwell, NJ r. Pereira.
The Waihee precinct elected the fol
lowing officers: President, NJ P. Wal
waiole; vice president, w. f. Maikai;
second vice president, C. NJ w. Ka-
nui; secretary, Moses Waiwaiole; as
sistant secretary, Robert Benjamin; !.
treasurer, A. Gross; executive commit
tee, A. t1ross, Henry Kahaahaa, Ben
Pahao, A. s. Kaholokai, j. Seabury;
judges of election, Joseph Whittferd,
Kelii, Aaholokai, Keapo Kaohimana.
The Portuguese Republican Club of
the thirteenth precinct held meeting
at the Hamakuapoko native church
Saturday evening, July IS, for the
purpose of electing officers. The meet
ing was success in every instance, and
much credit Is due to Manager III. A.
Baldwin, who allowed the Paia planta-
tion engine to run to Keahua, from
where large crowd assembled at the
meeting. Seventy-three men were en-
rolled as members of the club.
Mr.. NJ S. Deponte, acting as tenn
porary chairman, opened the meeting
with very able speech in Portuguese,
aiming toward the future and success
of the club. He spoke of the Portu-
guese of Honolulu who presented pc
tition to the Hon. J. r. Garfield, Min
lister of the Interior, requesting that
the land of Punchbowl be sold to the
residents rather than be sold at pub
lie auction He also favored the idea
of bringing more Portuguese immi-
grants into the Territory.
As it was growing very late, he con-
ended his speech, and the election of
officers took place with the following
results: President, A. J. Comes; vice
president, M. G.. Anjo; secretary. J.
Dolim; treasurer, J. Andrade; judges
of election, F. F. Jardin, M. Coito, A.
M. Feiteira; executive committee, M.
S. Deponte, G. Nascimento, J. S.
Souza. J. Rocha NJ Franco, J. M. Fei-
terra, B. M. Ambrose, V. Veveiros, ].
Souza.
The meeting then adjourned. The
next meeting will take place at the
Paia chapel, Saturday, August l, 1908,
