Achieving one Of the highest honors

rial Diyan-on his latest trip to the
mainland, James s. McCandless,
known to all Hawaii as Sunny Jim,
Is back in Honolulu again. He ar

Mr.. McCandless, commenting on the
results Of the elections. believes that
1t will be a stimulus to business, par
ticularly Hawaiian business, because
of the indications that the Republican
party is steadily gaining in strength
throughout the states.
Speaking Of his trip he said: ,.
I'VE have been away from our sun
ny isles a long time, ever since last
March. l have been in California
most of the time looking after my
interests in that state. ..-.. -
Il am interested in $4,000 acres, OF
land, river bottom land, along the Sac
ramento river. We are subdividing
this and selling 1t out to farmers on
the installment plan. one-fourth cash,
balance in one and five years
Il have spent a great part OF this
summer in the mountains on the Cali
fornia- Hawaiian Development Com
pany's property. We have. not found
our expected Eldorado yet, but we
have just as much faith as ever In
this prospect and we are going right
ahead with this work. -. ssEs q
-Ycu. have already told the people
through your paper all about my cleo
ton on the Imperial Divan, Ancient
Arabic Order Mobiles Of the Mystic
Shrine, as Imperial Marshal; this
was two boosts up the line, placing
me another year closer to the top,
where we hope to land. And 1t the
DAY comes when Aloha Temple has
an Imperial Potentate, we will show
them that Hawaii is on the map. We,
have won great honor for Aloha
Temple but we hope to win greater
honors by being advanced up the line.
until l am elected the Imperial Po-.
tentate, the highest office within the
gift Of the Imperial Council.
when we sailed from San Fran
cisco we had only received meager
returns from the election, but the bus.
mess people OF San Francisco were
very much eiated oyer the news from
the East that the Republicans had
been SO successful. While the Repub-
Hcans we're not able to elect their
governor In California, on the whole
they are very hopeful. for they have.
made a good showing and are very
sanguine that they will win out in
1916, and this seems to be the general
opinion all along the line. The peo-'
pie will never forgive the Democrats
for passing a war revenue tax In times
Of peace. The war was only SUBJ
terfuge. They were in hole; their
cutting of the tariff lost them mil
Hons Of dollars in revenue and they
had to have money to run the govern
Inent.s They have been very extrava-
CANT and the handwriting is on the
wall, put there by this last election.
: Il think the result of this election
will help business. The banks and
the people that have money have been
holding on to It. Lack of confidence
in the Democratic Congress has made
the hard times we have been passing
through and l am glad to hear Ha-
wall has stayed by the G. o. p.
!. This terrible war has helped Cali
fornia as she has been able to supply
a. great deal Of the foodstuffs that
the world needs. and 1t is going out
of that state by the shipload.
The weather In San Francisco was
fine when we left The Panama ex-
position buildings are almost complet-
ed and the fair will be opened on
time, February 10th. 1916. The Ha-
waiian building is credit to the ter
ritory and is In good location and
will soon be ready for occupancy"
