WHAT CANDIDATE SHALL SUPPORT? ?"
NO. 1.-THE SENATORIAL FIELD

Seven Republicans, four Democrats, one Pr
gressive and one Home Ruler are candidate
for the senate, seeking the support of the voter
of Oahu at the coming primary election.
Out Of this array the voters can choose
very good trio, three being the number to b
elected
The Republican candidates are Alfred l.. Cas-
tie, A ID. Castro, Charles +. Chillingworth,
p. Correa, Edward K Lilikalani, John r. Lu
cas-, Edward w. Quinn.
This is ticket of political and Legislative
veterans. Castle has been in the house, Castr
likewise. Chillingworth has served severa
terms in the senate Correa has been in tn
house LilikaIani was legislator before ter
ritorial government was established. Jack Lu
cas- has been supervisor. +. w. Quinn ha
been in the senate.
Taking them in alphabetical order, Castle il
desirable type of young man in politics
alert, progressive, taking personal interes
in public affairs, conscientious in bis public
duties, strong with all classes of voters. As q
member of the house, he was chairman of the
Judiciary committee and his record there was
good. He worked hard and kept his committee
working hard Since then he has been chair
filed the difficult duties of that office more
than acceptably. The commission did very
good work under him.
He is resident of the Fifth district, lib
eral-minded and fair-minded man, and if he
is elected to the senate he will give splendid
service
Al. ID. Castro is a Republican who has served
with credit in the house, is student OF the sci
ence of government, widely-informed young
Portuguese American, and one devoted to the
advancement of his city, his territory, his party
He was an advocate Of the direct primary law
even at the time when it was regarded as a
dangerous ISSUE He is a student of parlia-
mentary affairs, he is close to the people as
an officer in very large benevolent society,
he is ambitious and deserves well at the hands
Of the electorate.
Charles f. Chillingworth has served several
terms in the senate Though the record shows
that he has generally been found on the side
Of good government, there have been excep-
tons. He voted for the Moore liquor law
amendment BILL referred to yesterday, and that
black mark stands opposite his name today in
the eyes of those who believe the Republicans
IN 1909 should have stood squarely by the plat
form and refused to make any material change
III the liquor law. Among those who have
served with Chillingworth in the senate there
exists the feeling that he is hard to figure on. "
While his familiarity with legislative affairs
and procedure is recognized, his plausibility
is not always convincing that he is entirely
Dnblc-spirited in his acts and actions. A col
Ieague-a man who is careful in his statements
and who served with Chillingworth long
.nough to know him from the sort of intimate
acquaintance that comes with day-by-day at
tendance at the Legislature sums up Chilling
worth in this estimate: 6 If you will look at his
votes, you will find that he has generally voted
right, but it has taken lot Of hard work to
get him to support good measures when they
were likely to be unpopular. You cannot be
certain that he will fight for the right because
he has the courage to do it. |"
S. p. Correa is a veteran house member, his
work there being largely connected with the
duties of the printing committee. He comes
from the same precinct of the Fifth district as
does Castle. He is clean and ambitious. His
candidacy will probably be put up against that
Of Castro by many voters, which may cost him
some votes. In point of breadth of knowledge
of governmental affairs and in point of famili-
arity with the progressive trend of the day, Mr..
Castro will lead, Judged by his public activities
