"This is no place for 'soapbox'
work said Mr.. Barron to the Star

where quiet, energetic work will prove
better and more effective. j am going
to make a clean. unohtrusiye. vigor
Gus fight for myself and all those who
are legitimately seeking Office under
the Democratic administration in Ha-
waii 1t Is not my intention or pur-
pose to do any knocking I brought
no hammer with me- IL / can not
speak well of political opponents,
win say nothing. / am seeing officials
and members Of Congress in a gen.
tlemaHly way and presenting the sit
s uation as IL exists to them, without
bias or prejudice"
Ii is the firm conviction Of Mr.. Bar
ron that he viii be able while here
to pry loose quite an aggregate of
patronage for those at home.
