does not promise either progressive or intelli
gent service and he would be little but a figure
head in the senate. lie is certainly not up OF
the issues of the day.
i Jack Lucas is a lively campaigner and al
effective one in his peculiarly explosive and
picturesque way. If elected to the senate he
can be depended upon to play fair, give every
body square deal, live up to any promises he
may make, put real steam and ginger into his
work, and he should make good senator
E. w. Quinn should not be supported. On
Ibis record of 1909, as told fully by the Star
Bulletin yesterday, he has no right to ask for
the vote of any man who believes in keeping
faith and observing proper and legitimate plat
form pledge.
As this paper showed yesterday, Quinn vio-
lated the platform pledge made in the cam
paign of 1908 that the liquor law should not be
changed
He defends himself ON the ground that the
Moore bill, which he supported, made no ma
terial change In, the law.
If he knew no better than this, he should
not be elected. IF he knew better and was
willing to break faith, he should not be elected.
Quinn s. candidacy is dangerous one. His
attitude and his record encourage the short
sighted element that would tear Honolulu
"wide open'' if it could. He voices. the
sentiments of those who want to see the Sun
day lid off; who want to see the way opened
for all sorts of llegitimate liberty and insidious
license. He should be defeated.
The Democratic ticket contains but one man
to whom any serious consideration whatever
need be Prof William A. Bryan. He
is the type of scholar in politics and with his
scholarship, unimpeaehable character and de-
votion to the public good he carries many prac-
teal and up-to-date ideas. The objection to his
candidacy is the objection to his party in Hal
waiian politics that Democracy stands for and
fathers tariff legislation that spells general dis
aster to this territory. Personally, Professor
BRYAN is all right; politically, he is I'M
possible, and the voters of Oahu cannot afford
to give encouragement to the political party
that he represents and whose tariff principles
he indorses.
p. K. Hanapi, George K. Low and. Gabriel
Keawehaku, the Democrats running with Pro-
lessor BRYAN, are professional politicians. That
lets them out There is no reason to vote for
them and the reasons to vote against them are
far too numerous for enumeration.
d. Kalauokalani, ST., Progressive, is Woe
Unknown and respected Hawaiian but IN point
of familiarity with modern governmental al
fairs and in point of ability to give vigorous
service in the senate, he does not compare Win
anyone of four or FIVE Republicans.
William White is the Home Rule candidate.
He has no apparent claim to consideration from
the voters. OF course his candidacy is largely
one of form only, as with any Home Rule can
didate on this island.
That completes the field. Voters who mark
their ballots for Castle, Castro and Lucas will
make no mistake and if any one of these three.
does not suit avote can be cast for Correa with
the knowledge that it is being cast for a can
didate who has many things to commend him
to the electorate.
