As for himself, Mr.. Barron earnestly
desires to become postmaster of Homo
lulu. Preliminary work in that di-
rection had been made by Senator
Williams. who presented Mr.. Barron's
name to the president on the evening
of that ill-fated day when Manuel G..
Pacheco's nomination was on the list,
but eliminated by a deep blue line
before 1t left the White house. 5
Mr. Barron brought with him a great
mass OF letters. strongly endorsing
him for the postmastership and say.
ing many nice things regarding his
honesty and integrity. These were
distributed by Mr.. Barron, following
his arrival. He has left no stone un.
turned to segregate a force of public
men committed to his selection. He
manifests supreme confidence in the
outcome. n
This Is no place for 'soapbox'
work. said Mr.. Barron to the Star
Bulletin correspondent. "It is a case
where quiet, energetic work will prove
better and more effective am going
to make clean, unobtrusive, vigor.
Gus fight for myself and all these who
are legitimately seeking Office under
the Democratic administration in Ha.
waii. It is not my intention or pur-
pose to do any knocking | brought
no hammer with me- If I can not
speak we'll of political opponents. /
viii say nothing. am seeing officials
and members Of Congress in a gen.
tlemanly way and presenting the sit
uation IS II exists to them, without
bias or prejudice" q
It 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.
