ability are running in the Fourth. but the 81
just mentioned make up ticket that is well
balanced, gives fair representation to all race
elements, and promises efficient service in tn
legislature
Choosing the most capable six out of tn
, 13 candidates for representative for the FIT
district is not an easy matter. A number 0
the aspirants are about on an equal footing il
qualification and it would hardly be fair to pu
, 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
Kamehameha Schools, has claims to recogni
tion by the Fifth district Republicans He ha
served in the senate and his work at Kameha
meha Schools as inspector of tailoring was fo
20 years a factor in the success of the schools
He left that work when his eyes failed.
Eugene K Ain, we'll known Republican, at
torney, and man who has served as a clerk a
several sessions of the legislature, has hac
training that would stand him in good stead i
elected >## r III
Eli j. Crawford, now secretary of the Repub
lican territorial committee, is familiar with leg
islative work, is good speaker and should
be a good member. 1@ (
William Paikul is painter and paper
hanger, industrious, sober and good citizen
and is worth voting for, according to those whc
know him best 100
S. K Mahoe of Waialua IS probably the old
est man seeking election. He has served a mum
Der of terms in the Legislature, has always en-
deavored to do his duty and will receive strong
support because of his conscientious work II
the past.
William HI Crawford has been an effcient
committee clerk and the Star-Buletin is in
formed by senator who knows him well and
has watched his activities that he is entitled tc
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 X. Fernandez, who appears on the
ticket as 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.
Lowell Kupau is a member of the band
bright, well-liked, would probably be available
addition to the Fifth district delegation.
With all Of these candidates, several of whom
are about on par in ability and conscientious
ness, sixmay be chosen who will receive strong
Republican support and a large non-p partisan
vote as we'll
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 two or three candidates who are running
on the Progressive and Home Rule tickets dis
play nothing in particular to commend them to
the voters. at-...s.s..-...s5@ -e - 49, y.
