PUBLIC OPINION

f. II. LEWIS-.-I am glad to hear
that Presidents Wilson has nominated
Mr.: Pinkham for governor. He pick
ed the best man who was offered for
the job and / believe, the best man
in the territory to fill IL as it should
be filled. | have known Mr., Pinkham
for q number of years and have had,
always, the highest regard for his
ability. He will make good as gov
ernCr While president of the board
of health Mr.. Pinkham divorced that
office from politics and was the most
successful man who ever acted on
that capacity. | believe he will fill
the big chair in similar manner.
JAMES A. KENNEDY was sur
prised at the news but at the same
time | am not disappointed. Il have
known Mr.. Pinkham for the last TWEEN
ty years and think the choice is per-
fectly satisfactory. At least am per-
fectly satisfied. ...r ~.
CHARLES ROSE, deputy sheriff
So it's Pinkham, is it? Well, any
thing, SO long as it isn't McCandless.
EDWARD NJ. WATSON have
nothing to say on the appointment. |
do not wish to comment on it. 49,:
DIR. C. b. "COPPER" am delighted

Pinkham for governor of Hawaii
becaE intsn atC,y acquainted with

'ticn. ~. >.-~,~.-. .< - -
G.. b. WILSON = Pinkham never
aligned himself with the Republican
party in the Fourth district while !
was worker for. that party there.
That is why have lately, been think
ing that he was Democrat. / am
glad he has been appointed, for l
think he is good man for the place.
FRANK KRUGER the .tir4e
was in the Pacific Hardware building,
know that Pinkham nekhr mixed up
with any party. !, 4 am glad he is to
be governor because he is my friend.
H. T! MILL s. inkham, viii run the
government on the card index plan.
FORMER GOVERNOR GEORGE r.
CARTER am glad of one thing now
that Mr. Pinkham is nominated, and
that is that his appointment removes
the danger of the organic act being
changed and mainlander sent here
to take the governorship. From per-
sonal experience with Mr., Pinkham in
public office, I,ssay right now that
there will be trouble during the four
years he is in Office. ---.-... % J. -
COL. ]. w. JONES-Mr. Pinkham is
an able man and has always been a
friend of the national guards.
EBEN P. LOW know Pinkham
pretty well and travelled with him to
considerable extent while he toured
Hawaii on official inspection of
health districts, and have every rea-
son to believe that he will make an
aggressive and satisfactory execu.
tive. AS governor of the territory we
could do far worse 49, II
JOHN EFFINGER If there had
been any second choice with the
Democrats of Hawaii, Pinkham would
have been the man. Mr.. Pinkham was
always Democrat and is a close
friend of John II. Wilson, our nation
al committeeman,wh was close to him
twenty years ago in Chicago, when
they were both hustling young bust
nessmen there. Mr.. Pinkham will
have the confidence of the organiZa-
ton here and next to our first choice,
McCandles is the logical man. He is
a deep student OF political economy,
an honest and capable man, the soul
of generosity and a good friend, With
Pinkham as governor the territory
will go forward on progressive lines
in the broadeSt sense. We are 10 be
congratulated. >.s
SENATOR Al. WIRTZ-The nomi-
nation was not entirely unexpected
by me. To my mind, the thing to do
is to give Mr.. Pinkham every oppor-
tunitV for good administration.
w. =. ACHI-Pinkham is good
man. He has lots OF energy and
ability. | think he will make a good
governor 49,
D. c. J. McCARTHY-I am dumbfound-
ed and can say nothing. -"
