"WHAT CANDIDATE SHALL SUPPORT ?"
NO. 3-THEs REPRESENTATIVE FIELD

ability are running in the Fourth but the six
just mentioned make up ticket that is we'll
balanced, gives fair representation to all race
elements, and promises efficient service in the
legislature.
Choosing the most capable six out of the
l3 candidates for representative for the Fifth
district is not an easy matter. \ number Of
the aspirants are about on an equal footing in
qualification and it would hardly be fair to put
some above the others.
Charles Kanekoa has served in the house,
his record there being such that he is entitled
to reelection. He is conscientious and was al
ways faithful in attendance.
David Kanuha, who used to be teacher at
KamehaJheha Schools, has claims to recogni-
ton by the Fifth district Republicans. He has
served in the senate and his work at Kameha-
meha Schools as Inspector of tailoring was for
20 years factor in the success of the schools
He left that work when his eyes failed.
Eugene X. Ain, well known Republican, at
torney, and man who has served as clerk at
several sessions of the Legislature, has had
training that would stand him in good stead if
elected s=
Eli j. Crawford now secretary of the Repub-
lican territorial committee is familiar with leg
islative work, is a good speaker and should
be good member. .... a...<
William Paikuli is painter and paper
hanger, industrious, sober and good citizen,
and is worth voting for, according to those who
know him best =.
s. X. Mahoe of Waialua is probably the old
est man seeking election. He has served num-
Der of terms in the legislature, has always en-
deavored to do his duty and will receive strong
support because of his conscientious work in
the past
William III. Crawford has been an efficient
committee clerk and the Star Bulletin is in
formed by senator who knows him we'll and
has watched his activities that he is entitled to
consideration as one of the candidates from the
Fifth district. He has been the subject of much
newspaper attack which may hurt him in the
estimation of some voters but will probably
not materially diminish his vote. -
Eddie K. Fernandez, who appears on the
ticket as a candidate, has served one term in
the house This year he is making practically
no campaign and in the face of the active fight
waged by most of the others, he is said to be
losing ground.
Lowells Kupau is a member OF the band,
bright, well-liked, would probably be a valuable
addition to the Fifth district delegation.
With all of these candidates, several of whom
are about on par in ability and conscientious
ness six may be chosen who will receive strong
Republican support and a large non-partisan
vote as well. IS. r&
None of the opposing tickets presents aspi
rants for whom any Republican candidate for
representative should be put aside. Several
members of the last house are running for re-
election on the Democratic ticket, but their
candidacy promises nothing better, if as good,
as that of any of the Republicans. Further
more any support given Democrat locally
lends encouragement to the Democratic party
nationally, and the only way for Hawaii to ex
press fully its sentiments on the Democratic
free sugar legislation is to refuse support to
those who run as Democrats in Hawaii. =
The twoor three candidates who are running
on the Progressive and Home Rule tickets dis
play nothing in particular to commend them to
the voters. -.. :.-
In considering the representative field, Re
publicans have no reason whatever to vote any
thing but straight ticket. They should sup
port Republicans from top to bottom The Re
publican ticket in this instance plainly stands
for greater efficiency.
