port Promised, Is Report
Woods Strongly Urged.
lFrom saturday Adyertiser. }

Charles A. Rice, after most success.
full tour of the Big Island, is returning
to Honolulu today to resume his canl-
paign on oahu. The reports that have
been received at the Rico hCadquar.
tiers, backed by independent adyiees,
are to the effect that the Kauai man
will poll surprisingly big vote on
Hawaii and will beat Kuhio handily If
Palmer Woods should become cahdi-
date for the Democratic nomination.
Many Hawaiian Democrats have an.
noaneed their intention of supporting
Rice in preference to MeCandless, al.
though, should there be no candidate in
the, field against MeCandIess, and con
sequehtly no necessity for any active
work among the Big Island Democrats,
kuhio win receive large share of
Democratic votes in the primary.
