in the. territory to fill it as it should
be fHen, | have known Mr. Pinkham
| for q number OF years and have had,

the big chair in similar manner
| JAMES A. KENNERY-I was sur
prised at the news but at the same
time | am not disappointed | have
known Mr. Pinkham for the last TWEEN
ty years and think the choice is per-

CHARLES ROSE, deputy sheriff
So it's Pinkham, is it? Well, any
thing, so long as it isn't McCandless

Pinkham for governor of Hawaii.

tory 80 sres:ael,; CT the beard Ell
health. aaf be!.gYc that his experi-
enee has we'll fitted him for the posi-:
t!cn.,
|. e, h. WILSON - Pinkham never
aligned himself with the Republican
party In the Fourth district while l
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
think he is good man for the place.
FRANK KRUGER--Ali the time
was in the Pacific Hardware building,
j know that Pinkham never mixed up
with any party. | am glad he is to
be governor because he is my friend.
II. T. MILLS-P inkham will run the
government on the card index plan.
FORMER GOVERNOR GEORGE r.
-CARTER-I 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 q %naialander sent here
to take the governorship. From per-
sonal experience with Mr.. Pinkham in
public office, | say right now that
there will be trouble during the four
years he is in office.
COL. J..W. JONES 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
JOHN EFFINGER - If there had
been any second choice with the
Democrats of Hawaii, Pinkham would
have been the man. Mr., Pinkham was
always a Democrat and is a close
friend of John H. Wilson, our nation
al committeeman, who 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,
McCandless, is the logical man. He is
a. deep student of political economy,
an honest and capable man, the soul
of generosity and good friend. With
Pinkham as governor the territory /
will go forward on progressive lines
IN the broadcast sense. We are 20 be
congratulated.
SENATOR a. ]. WIRTZTThe nomi-
nation was not entirely unexpected
by me. To my mind, the thing to do
is to give Mr.. Pinkham every oppor-
tunity for good administration. 4
w. G. ACHI-Pinkham is good
man. He has lots Of energy and
ability. q think he will make a good !.
