Representatives.
CFrem sunday,s Advertlser.l


Senator Frank Harvey is beginning
TO loom as a candidate for delegate to
congress on the Democratic ticket,
much to the discomfort of the Link
McCandless followers. While there>is
apparently perfect harmony between
McCandless and Harvey, some of the.
supporters of "Link'' in his campaign
for the position of delegate to congress
have begun to look eross-eyed at Hcr-
vey. He begins to look too much like
a congressional possibility.
Harvey attends all the meetings of
the Democrats, and very insistently
harps ON the leprosy question. Harvey
claims credit for the new law, and
often gets applause from Hawaiian
audiences on such a claim, despite the
fact that the new law is really a result
of conferences had by Governor Frear
and Others of the territorial admins
tration with Doctor Koch, the great
German scientist, whose death was re-
Gently reported.
What is worrying some of the Nc
Candless partisans is the question of
why Harvey is so busy attending the
various political meetings, and why he
allows a Harvey boom for delegate to
congress to grow. Harvey is a member
of the senate, and has another session
before his term expires, hence his ac-
tivity in political meetings is looked
upon with uspieion-suspicion that he
has been infected himself by the Har-
vey boom for delegate TO congress
which was sprung at a meeting some
time ago. He has no other personal
reason for campaigning.
Harvey's part in the legislature in
connection with the leprosy bill now
SO popular is being very much talked
up among the Hawaiians. 1t is being
claimed by the Democrats all around
that they are entitled to the credit for
the new law, and that Harvey is espe-
cially the man who put it through.
This is what makes the supporters of
McCandless worry when they see Har-
vey spending so much of his time in
going to political meetings and making
speeches. 1t looks bit too much like
a Harvey boom to suit them.
Kaniho is now expected to stay in
Honolulu and run for the legislature.
If he stays he will either be candi-
date for the senate with the whole
island as his district or candidate for
the house from the fifth district. He
has stayed long enough to establish a
residence. His Aala Park encounter
with Desha and others left him a good
deal bunged up politically, but he will
be heard from in the campaign.
The fifth district has Republican
slate almost made up, for the house.
Its names are NJ c. Amana, F. Fernan-
DEE, F. Pahia, A. s. Kaleiopu, s. P.
Correa, s. X. Mahoe and F. Archer.
Amana and Correa are in the same pre-
cinct The latter was member of the
last house and made fine record, and
if he decides to run again will prob.
ably have the backing of his prec;ncs
and district. Kaleiopu may want to
run for the senate. He is being con,
siderably boosted because he opposed
the immigration law in the last legis.
lature and that law has proved decid-
edly unpopular among Hawaiians
Pahia, Mahoe and Archer all have very
strong backing in their localities, and
their political strength is a factor TO
be reckoned with.
