The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-02-05


E. B. Carley, manager of the Maui tele-
phone system, who ought to be able
to talk; j. X, Hihio, whose name and
occupation failed to get into the di-
rectory; j. w. Kawaakoa is reverend,
his pulpit being at Kaupo; r. j. X.
Nawahine is of Waikiki, but the di-
rectory man also failed to locate him
when making up his list.
w. Nalima, of Hawaii, one of the
brightest of the younger members Of
the last House, is dead. He would un-
doubtedly have been returned this ses-
sion If pneumonia had not claimed him
for victim, because a more likabIe
man never stepped within the old
throne room. He was liked by mem
bers and workers alike, and on some
of the trips of investigation made by
the Lands Committee, of which he was
member, he was invariably the life
of the party.
G. Akau, he whose name came first
on the rollcall and who never had to
get the advice of anyone as to how to
vote and who never shifted into the
'kanulu' column, made no try for
reelection. He is with the Inter.1sland
now, with headquarters in Honolulu.
kahana is another of the fallen, and
is working at another job than that of
Representative, while ID. Alawa. Of
Hohaloa, has resumed the practice Of
law.
OF course, Hawaii sends back Hol-
stein and Kaniho, the extremes in poll
ties. Without the former the House
would have some difficulty in getting
along, while without the House the
latter would be hard pressed to get
along himself. Kawewehi, of Keau-
hou, is new member with very ia
miliar face. Last session he preserved
order as sergeant.at.arms, and a Re-
publican. Now he will have seat in
the forum and vote with the Demo
Gratis. Since being an official of the
House he has had several new lights.
He drew his last pay envelope as
staunch supporter of the G.. o. p. At
home he found the atmosphere decid-
| eddy Home Rulish, so he renowned the
devil and all his works and threw his
heart into spreading Home Rule doe
trine, pure and indebted. As dele
gate he attended the Homo Rule CON
vention in Motley Hall. Things turn
| ed Democratic after Link McCandless
had toured the Konas, however, and
with the change in public political
sentiment came n change in The views
of the x-sergeant-at.arms. No fur
Their changes have been reported since
the election.
nj. X. Makekau is a political genius
who will represent section of Hawaii
although he has been working at the
Honolulu Iron Works for the past
three years. While he puddled pig
in Honolulu, he kept his residence on
Hawaii and when he was put on the
Board of Registration and the govern
| ment paid the freight for him all over
the district he industriously cultivated
| old friendships, worked up old connec-
tions and landed himself in the House.
G. +. Alfonso, one of the three
Portuguese members, il the editor of
A Setta, the Hilo organ of the Hawaii
Portuguese. Alfonso drives pointed
| quill and makes speciality of the land
laws. He will probably try to amend
| the laws. He is bright young man,
| however, and ought to be of consider
able influence. NJ. r. Furtado, of
Honokaa, is another Portuguese from
the Big Island. He was captain of
police at the time of his election. M.
*. kealawaa, is one of the Democratic
members\sent from Hilo. In private
| life he is lawyer.
Kauai has shown good Judgment in
returning Charley Rice, j. II. Coney
and w. j. Sheldon, who were strong
trio last session. Coney and Sheldon
are lawyers and Rice is financier
and the Speaker S whip. George Her
man Hubby, of Lihue, who takes the
place of |. Silva, is well known in
Honolulu, where he practised as den
fist before going to the Garden Island
to pull teeth and votes. He is
graduate of the University of Cali
| fornia.
Molokai is represented by ]. Naka-
| leka, who led the vote in the Maui
count. Although down as a Republi-
can he was endorsed by the Democrats
in the contest, getting the support
that would have gone to IL. Farden,
if the latter had not dropped out be-
fore the voting
Oahu will be represented by four
old members and eight new ones. Cas-
tro, Correa, Kaleiopu and Long will
serve their second term; Cohen, Douth-
lit, Kane, Kamanoulu, Kamahu, Kin
ney, Like and Single are making
their first bows in the fierce light that
beats upon the Legislature. Two OF
these new members are newspapermen,
Like being editor of the Aloha Alma,
and Kamanoulu being foreman in
the Star office. Kinney is the one out
oftown member, coming with the full
confidence of his Waianae neighbors as
his guarantee. Cohen, Douthitt and
Single will be valuable members, all
being practical men familiar with af-
fairs. Kama will represent the steve
dores, while for any secret service
work the Speaker can call upon Kama
hu, who is now connected with the
Honolulu police force.
OF the thirty members, six are law
yers, which ought to keep the num-
Der of bills defective from coming up
to the average The Judiciary Com
mittee is going to miss Rawlins this
term. During his occupancy of the
Craftsmanship of that committee he
drove work through in good shape.
Politically the Republicans have a
big majority, although not as large as
last time. The division will be:
