Oahu Has Many New Members
The most notable change in the per-
sonnet of the legislature is seen in the
case of Oahu, when 1t comes to sizing
UP the lower house politically. In the
session of 1913 the Democrats held
four seats in the fourth and six in the
fifth, the Republicans having but two
&C II. Cooke and Norman Watkins,
The 1915 session will contain eleven
and only one Democrat.
East Hawaii win have four Repub.
licans, while in 1913 there were three
and one Democrat, the latter being DR..
Archer Irwin of Hilo. West Hawaii
will line up as il did two years ago,
three Republicans and one Home Ruler,
Maui and Kauai will be entirely Re-
publican again. ykf
As TO the senate Hawaii Is fairly
we'll split---two Democrats, one Repub-
liean and one Home Ruler; Maui ali
three Republicans; Oahu three each Re-
publican and Democrat, and Kauai!
splits, for the first time in its history
one each Republican and Democrat. Sem.
ator-elect Mikaele is the first Demo.
crat ever elected in Kauai.
Holstcin For Speaker Again
The next speaker OF the house OF
will again be II. III
of Kohala, Hawaii. HOlsteinI
has baen speaker for five sessions and
il is quite certain that the increased
Republican majority will honor him
with a sixth term in the chair. Com
sidering that thirteen members Of the
last house were reelected Tuesday, ii
seems as if the Craftsmanship Of the
several important committees for the
1915 session will remain practically the
same as they were two years ago. II
is quite likely that the committee
chairmen of the next session will be as
follows:
Norman Watkins, finance; G. H..
Cooke, education; ]. ii. Coney, health
and police; w. r.. Rawlins (new), ju-
dietary; A. +. Tavares, accounts and
public expenditures, DR.. q. H. Huddy,
public lands and internal improve.
ments; General IL. H. Kawewehi,
military; n. X. Lyman, miscellany; I'd
enrolment, revision and
printing, and Speaker. Holstein, rules
and journal. George r.. Cooke, who
was chairman of the committee on az
rieulture, forestry, manufactures, pro
notion and immigration, was not
candidate for the house and il is likely
that D. Paul r. Isenberg will be APP
pointed to head this important com
nittee.
Who VIII Head Senator
In the senate the big question will
1e the selection of its president. Eric
A. Knndsen s defeat for reelection, OF
course, forces the election of new
lead in the semitic. Who this win be
IS the question. Charles A. Rice Is
Although II is claimed
hat he will not accept, there Is no
question but that he is the best quail |
led member for the position. He has
rad considerable experience as pre-.
Iiding officer, having been vice speak
n of the house several times while he
was member of the lower house.
Rice would like, however, to be ap.
Iointed again as chairman of the ways
ind means committee, position SINH
ar to that Of chairman Of the finance
in the house.
