hoped that a large number of towns

OF PINEAPPLES
TO HIS FRIENDS

There is one visitor in the city who
certainly appreciates Hawaii and Ha.
waiian pineappies. This is Benjamin
v. Becker, a prominent attorney of
Chicago, who has already sent IS
crates of choice pineapples to his
many friends on the mainland. -
Among those who will receive the
product of Hawaii are many bank
presidents and men of influence
throughout the United States. Mr..
Becker, with his wife and son, accom-
panied the members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee on their tour of
Hawaii last week, and was very much
impressed with the beauties to be
found on the Big Island He plans
to return to the mainland on the Great
Northern tomorrow, but states that
he will be a member of the Come
Back" club next year.

BRYAN Cannot
DEFEAT Wilson,
BELIEVESCOKE
Does Not Think Neraskan Can
Prevent Convention From Re-
nominating President

Ex-Secretary Bryan's hold on the
country is not Increasing, in fact the
signs are that it is lessening. says
Senator James L. Coke of Oahu, who
has just returned from the mainland.
Senator Coke, a Democrat himself,
finds much to admire in the Nebraska
statesman, but he feels that Bryan
is up against a losing proposition in
bucking the president, particularly on
preparedness matters.
Mr.. Bryan may go down to the ma
tional convention In st Louis and at
tempt to block President Wilson's re-
nomination, but In my judgment Will
son is absolutely certain Of receiving
the honor" commented Coke yester-
day.
As to the election itself, one can
not tell what politics will do. There
is no question that critics Of the pres
ident are busy in both parties. Yet
through the great Middle West, where
the big vote is going to come from,
you will find the sentiment strongly
in favor of maintaining peace, and
Wilson Is credited with making Amer.
lean peace possible.
Roosevelt is going to be a factor.
Just how much of factor no one
knows yet, but you can be sure that
as the campaign goes along what he
says and does is going to cut lot OF
Ice"

try some cases in court at Wailuku.
