F, Republican National Committee
man II. l.. Holstein dropped in on
Hilo last week and is quoted as fol-
lows by the Hilo Tribune:
THE biggest trouble in the Coun-
ty of Hawaii today lies in-the indivi-
dual solfishness of each of the Coun-
ty officers now in Office" said Hol-
stein. Each of them is playing his
own game of politics, and then they
expect the Republican party to come
and pull the chestnuts out of the
fire for them.
II am in hopes that the conditions
will better. and they will If the best
voting element will go to work and
take the matter into their own
hands. Take for instance the Office
of Supervisor of Hilo; there are men
like Ross, NOR, Cabrinha, Wright,
Otto Rose, John Bohnenberg and
Ned Austin, all of whom are good
men. Personally. speaking from n
party point of view, ] think that
Ross and Rose would make the best
combination for North and South
Hilo.
Fernandez ought to run again
for Supervisor from Hamakua. He
is one of the best supervisors the
County of Hawaii ever had; he is a
practical road man and legislator
of experience. have had talk
with him. and | think. that Ii Is
possible that he may reconsider his
attitude and run again, the more
minded man and does not wish to
see the district of Hamakua lost al
together to those who are inexperi-
enced.
"You may say that Kohala will! send
as its .rcpress ntative on the next
Board of Supervisors either Henry
Beckley or Sam Mahuka. ] will say
| in this connection that the story
about Kaniho being after my scalp
on account of personal scrap, is
altogether false, for we are as good
friends personally now as we have
always been. However, Kaniho has
lost strength on account OF the fact
that he has been calling Motley a
dead horse who should not run
again. and his espousing of the cause
of Link McCandless will also cause
some loss of prestige for him among
the Home Rulers. However, Kani-
no is smooth enough. II he finds that
he has not done the proper thing
with HIS party, to slip out of II and
say one word for McCandless where
he says two words for Motley.
1.-THE Kona districts are gone. We
cannot do anything there. The
Home Rulers will elect their Super
visor, and 1t will either be Kalai.
waa or Koomoa, who is at present
a deputy sheriff.
"As far as the outlook for Senat-
ors from this island is concerned 1t
must be remembered that there is
an unwritten law to the effect that
the four corners of the island shall
be represented In the Senate Now
Hilo and Kona are represented by
Brown and Baker, who are hold
overs. and this time Kohala and
Hamakua are entitled to the nomi-
nations. / believe that Makekau has
a good chance for reelection to the
Senate, but nevertheless | hope that
the Republican party will select a
good, strong candidate from Hama
kua for its ticket. There is strong
sentiment that Palmer Woods should
be returned to the Senate.
81 cannot say much about the OUT
look for Representative as far as this
end of the island is concerned. be-
lieve that Hilo should send Stephen
Desha and Alfonso. In Hamakua,
Moanauli should run again for the
House, while young Makekau. from
South ona will run against any one
from that district. cannot say any
thing about the other two, although
there is some talk in Kona of run
ming McWayne.
ut strikes me that Sam Pua will
be reelected sheriff. For the Office of
County Clerk | think that young
Earl Williams will give any oppon-
ent a good tussle. Swain will again
be the Republican candidate for
Treasurer. while the fight for the
Republican nomination for County
Attorney will lie between Beers and
