Thc showing made by Charles A
Rice on this island has caused consid.
cradle comment. IL Is. said that he
received less than half the vote Chat
was expected would 20 his way. To
begin with. the total vote east for the
seven candidates seeking nomination
for Delegate TO Congress was light.
Exclusive Of the ballots which were
disallowed by the judges Of election
on account Of irregularities, the total
given the seven candidates reached
254s, The total registration on the
island Is approximately 1000, II can
be seen, therefore, that between 1000
and 1850 voters remained away from
tho polls last Saturday.
In East Hawaii, Rico received 3l7
votes against Ss1 cast for Kuhio.
Only in two precincts, Honohina and
Laupahoehoc, was Rice given a larger
vote than his opponent. West Hawaii
gave Rice only eiahty-three votes
against 745 cast for Kuhio.
.# Island Was Neglected
1t is conceded, however, that had
Rice's campaign management known
the situation better, the result would
have been moro flattering for this can
didate. Rice g tours of the island
werc very hurried and he was given
only small opportunity to meet the
voters. All this told against him. In
West Hawaii, especially, Rice was
hardly known and il is doubted If q
compile hundred people saw him. IS

known that Democrats were advised 20

figured that McCandless would stand
better chance of election in November
IL Kuhio was TO be his Republican OPP
poncnt. All this remains TO be proved
'rSteyeD l.. Desha, this unfortunate
county,s perpetual political parson,
and James d.. Lewis, his ever bitter
political opponent, were the only Re,
publican candidates seeking nOmina-
ton to the territorial senate and they
were nominated. Desha, however, re.
coiyed far greater vote than Lewis
In East Hawaii, Desha was given $40
votes, which was exceeded in the first
representative district only by the
total given TO Kuhio and Norman X.
Lyman, the latter Republican seek
ing recollection to the house Of repre-
sentatiyes.
Desha's Vote Heavy We.
On the whole Island Desha received
1908 votes against SCI east for Lewis.
Raymond II. Makckau, Democrat, who
seeks reelection to the senate, was
given 900 votes, while George p. Ka'
mauoha, Of Kona, running as, the Pro
gressiye candidate, got only 653 votes,
470 of which he received in West Ha-
wall. East Hawaii giving him only
1888. Kamauoha, however, made a
far better showing than George Il. Car
ter. his party's standard bearer, who
received only ifty-fve votes on the
whole Island. The total vote east for
the other candidates for Delegate to
Congress was as follows; l.. l.. Me.
