Republican
Campaigners
Their Success and Reception Through
our the Hama District.

The Republican orators arrived at
Keanae on the 9Th inst and after u
bountious luau of the various Haw-
allan dishes no one felt the worse
for wear. 1t rained quite bit and
then some more, hut this is nothing
To a man whose business is to reach
the hearts 'and ears of his country
men.
The party was headed by Sam f.
Kalama, Campaign Manager; Philip
Pail, the Military Governor of Maui

senate. sam Keliinoi, Geo. p. Cook,
f. Wniaholo, Joe Cockett, Kawaa-
koa and W. p. Haia MS body
guard, ably assisted by Chas. Make
kau. one ef the best Hawaiian ora
tors. Some hot shot was fired by
the Hon. Philip Pail and after the
bunch got through, Democrats were
as scarce as hen $ teeth, in Keanas.
The candidates were well received
and made good impression. Mr.
Geo. p. Cook. new man, Hawai-
ian born, made very splendid inn
preston amongst his hearers and
received quite an ovation. His gem
erosity to the Hawaiians at Molokai
has preceded him here, and it goes
without saying he will be one of the
leaders on the ticket.
Joe Cockett and Ed. Waiaholo
seem to be making good impress
sion also. Theysare good men and
will undoubtedly pull a good vote
Sam Keliinoi is too well known to
be commented upen; his former re-
cord in the lower house speaks for
itself. Kawaakoa, the Representa-
tive from Hama also spoke and was
well received, he being the local
man. Old man Haia, who is at
present Supervisor for the Hama
District was told to go home and
stay home as Keanae was solid for
him to man.
After good nights rest the par
ty came on to Nahiku. Here they
received royal welcome. The rub
Der people, Messrs. Anderson, Syl-
vester Jacobs and Austin outdid
themselves to show how prosperous
all the rubber companies were. They
decorated the village, built a grand
arch and gave luau. The hall at
Nahiku was decorated with that
famous Republican banner presented
by the Governor in 1908.
1t was Nahiku that threw 30
straight votes for the Republican
ticket in 1903 and as then, she
stands again to man to duplicate
that former victory in 1910. The
rubber managers, Mr.. Anderson,
John Austin, Jacobs and Sylvester
We're all present at the meeting and
/. to these gentlemen is due the good
feeling that exists there among the
labors who, by the way, are mostly
Hayaiians. Next morning bright
and early the candidates got an early
start and came on to the village OF
Ulaino. After "A few short speeches
they arrived at Hama at noon. Here
to be met by the 1st Company OF
boy Scouts organized on Maui. The
Hon. Sam Keliinoi, who is an Off
Ger of Maui military company was
completely taken by surprise, and
was more than struck by the ap-
searance of the lads and the fine
s'wing they made going throught
the various evolutions. The Mill

ina, immediately saw the necessity
of fortHying Kaniki hill. The lads
put up fine appearance. They
escorted the Candidates to the va
rious quarters and acted as body
guard for the rest of tie day.
