NEXT DELEGATE
Party Leaders Predict He Will
Beat Kuhio BY Substantial
Majority

A spirit of conservative confidence
pervades Democratic political circles
today anent tomorrow's general cleo
ton. Everywhere it is predicted that
the Bcurbons will effect clean
sweep" not only on Oahu but on the
outlying islands. l.. l.. McCandless,
candidate for delegate, it is asserted,
Will poll vote substantially stronger
than at past elections. His chances
of being sent to Washington, party
leaders declare, are better than ever
before.
Bryan Gives Expression
The Democratic county committee
feels every confidence that the party
will carry the county of Oahu with
substantial majority for McCandless,
says Chairman w. A. Bryan. This
also includes the senatorial and rep
.resentative tickets. Reports from
precinct workers show that the former
Republican vote among the Hawaiians
is swinging to the Democratic list. Our
voters are satisfied with the ticket
selected at the primary and are pre-
pared to vote it straight. The various
nationalities of voters are pulling to-
getner in perfect harmony.
Z The island of Hawaii undoubtedly
will show the largest gains for Nc
Candless over the former votes of
that island and, together with the
large Democratic vote from Oahu and
Kauai, will give our candidate for
delegate the desired majority through
out the group"
Ambrose Writ, candidate for the
senate on the Bourbon ticket, thinks
shat the Democratic candidates will
poll very large percentage of the
votes not only on Oahu but through
out the territory. Today he would
make no prediction regarding the vot-
ing on islands other than Oahu.
Mccandless Expects to Win
McCandless is confident of beating
Kuhio by substantial majority. He
said today:
Il feel that we will carry Oahu by
a large majority, and also Kauai. This
is not including Maui, Hawaii and Mo-
kai, but from reports received by
the central committee we are assured
that many men who have supported
kuhio in past elections have openly
declared themselves in favor of me- |
OF course, the Republicans are
claiming everything in sight, as they
always do-that we will only carry
one precinct on this island. which, in |
our opinion, is like all the work tt Z I
Republicans do, and have done in the !
past; that is TO prevaricate. This is /
sample of it. We feel fully conf 1
dent of success, and we have stated |
so. but this thing of telling the other !

HOUSED GRANT AND TWAIN.
A MOdren Building viii Replace Old
Hotel at Visalia, California.

VISALIA, Cal, Nov. 29 - The
old Visalia House, rendezvous of
many of the worlds famous charac-
ters, erected almost simultaneously
with the birth of Visalia, the oldest
city in the San Joaquin Valley, a
landmark throughout California, is
about to go. The age of progress has
demanded this site for new 5-story
modern hotel building and workmen
have begun the work of razing the
building to make way for the new
structure.
The old structure, one of the first
brick buildings in the valley, was
erected 81 years ago.
A glance over the registers of the
years gone by discloses the names of
Bret Harte, Bill Nye, Gen. U. S.
Grant, Mark Twain and hundreds Of
others who figured in the early his
tory of the West, and of national and
even international reputation. Gen.
Grant spent several nights here en-
route to visit the great General Grant
big trees in the national park also
named for him, and many of the
stories told by Clemens had their
impetus in and around Visalia, where
the famous wit spent many days with
his friends, Bret Harte and Bill Nye.
All three mentioned the Visalia
House in their stories.
