DOCTOR RAYMOND
WILL ENTER RACE
FOR DELEGATESH|P
Tells Friends lie Is To Be In
Field For Leadership OF
Local Democratic Party
IS C0NFIrENT THAT
He CAM BEAT KUHI0
Link" viii Know He's Been In a
Fight When SCrapping Maui
Man Finishes With Him

Link McCandlcss is not going to
have his usual easy time in landing
the Democratic nomination for the dele
gateship, If he is able to land it at
all this fall. He is going to have a
fight on his hands and the hvelcst
kind of opposition, for the first time
in recent Democratic history.
Dr. J. H. Raymond, who is today
back on his own island Of Maui, after
stay of some time in Honolulu,
confded to friends before he left the
city that he is to be in the field for
the Democratic leadership, with every
expectation of opposing Kuhio at the
election and in great hopes of beating
the Delegate
The Maui medical ranchPr is believed
to have received a big boost in local
Democratic circles through the recent
visit of the Secretary of the Interior,
and it is intimated that the quiet tip
has gone out that Secretary Lane be,
lieves the only hope Democracy has
here Of being represented by a man
at Washington is by finding some can
didate for congress other than Nc
Candless. That man, according to ru-
NOR, is going to be Raymond.
1t is known that RAYMOND had sew
eral close c0nfnbs with members of
the Lane party last week and that he
was in consultation regularly with
many of the most influential of Homo
lulu Democrats, so it may he taken
for granted that this announcement Of
Doctor Raymond s aspiration to lead
the party in this fall g elections will
not come as any great surprise to
Bourbons outside OF the McCandless
neal ticket corral.
The Maui leader stands high at
Washington. where he is we'll known,
and it was confidently expected in some
quarters that he would be named as
the Governor. Until the advent of Nc
earthly in the gubcInatOrial ring the
| leading candidates under consideration
in the department Of the interior were
| hammond and IIntchins.
Raymond is . scraPpcr and when he
enters the primary, McCandlcss will
know for the FIRST time what it is to
have to carry more than check book
into campaign.
IT is not expected that there will
be any opposition to Kuhio for the
| Republican nomination. No possible
candidate to run against him in the
primary has been suggested in any
quarter.

Its Vessels to HilO
Statement Is Made BY Assistant
Director Of Operations In Let
ter To Harbor Commission In
Reply To Suggestion Regard
ina LOADING

Methods to be followed in Hilo in
loading vessels will be left to the
various shipping concerns, as the ship
ping board does not intend to send any
Of its own vessels to the port, accord
ing to a communication read at yester.
day 3 meeting Of the harbor board
which was a reply to one that had
been addressed to the director Of the
shipping board at San Francisco
several weeks ago by Governor Nc
Carthy while he was a member of the
board Of harbor commissioners.
Governor McCarthy's communication
was in the nature of a suggestion in
which he pointed out how much time
might be saved If instead Of the light
eragP system now used to n consider.
able extent in the loading Of vessels in
HilO harbor, boats were loaded from
Knhio wharf, which is equipped with
carrier system designed particularly
to handle sugar cargoes.
In his communication the Governor
gave an example saying that in the
month of March one boat of 5000 tons
loaded by lighters, was in the harbor
twenty days while another Of 5000
tons loaded 5000 tons of sugar from
Kuhio wharf in a period Of FIVE days
Figures showing the sugar output Of
the Island of Hawaii are given and
methods of handling are described in
the communication. It is shown that
in 1917 10000 tons of sugar were
shipped from Hilo.
