Prospects For
Senator Baldwin
Grow More ROSY
Registration Is Now Rapid on
This Island; Reports From
Everywhere Good; Sam
Kalama Sanguine.

All is well with the campaign for
the election of the delegate to con
gress and everything points to the
election of Harry A. Baldwin on
March %, by large majority, are the
glad tidings which Sam E. Kalama
brought home Saturday morning. He
judged conditions by what he saw for
himself in Honolulu and what he
heard from party leaders of the coun-
ties of Hawaii and Kauai.
Heavy Registration
A big registration is being rapidly
enrolled in Honolulu Kalama says
and new voters are being added to
the list by the scores and the hun
dred, especially is this so with wo-
men voters, and all reported show
that the women's vote will go pre-
ponderantly for Baldwin. There is
harmony, toe, in the Republican ranks
in striking contrast with the Demo
Gratis. The Hawaiian vote, Kalama
is confident, will go for Baldwin as
IL ever did for Kuhio in his campaigns
while the Democratic Hawaiian vote
is split. This is so especially in the
Fifth District on Oahu, his informa-
tion is, where Kumalae will poll a
considerable Hawaiian labor vote
practically all drawn from McCand-
less. Among the haoles of Honolulu
he has heard of dozens of former Dem
ocrats who will vote for Baldwin in
the coming election. The subterfuge
of plank praising Kuhio in the Dem
ocratic platform has disguised haoles
as well as Hawaiians.
Other Islands Heard of
Reports from Hawaii are satsfac-
tory. Holstein, speaker of the house
says West Hawaii will roll up its
usual and always dependable Repub-
| lican majority. Norman Lyman re.
ports the situation as quite satisfac-
tory in East Hawaii. Kauai reports
| are favorable.
Senator Baldwin and Sam Kalama
left for Hilo Saturday night on the
Mauna Kea. Kalama said he expect
ed they would be back about the night
| of the sixth. Later there will be a
! trip to Kauai and Senator Baldwin
| Will spend as much time as possible
in Honolulu, also. With the need of
such campaigning and so much time
spent away the campaign here will
be conducted, it is expected chiefly
by the home folk. Here Senator Bald
win is too well known to require any
prolonged speaking campaign on his
part.
Registration Goes Well
Reports at the county clerks office
this morning were that registration
and re-registration is coming on fast
through the efforts of the workers
who are making the house to house
canvass. AT the office itself the yot-
ers come in slowly but the field is
being well covered by the workers
outside. County Clerk Kaae and II.
b. Lyons went to Molokai yesterday
to register voters there As yet there
has been no totting up of the number
registered but it is said that few of
those who were stricken from the
lists and who may still be in this
county will be found unenrolled
when the registration closes on
March and several hundred new vot-
ers, largely women, will have been
added. 1t is expected the total will
be considerably larger than Maui has
ever shown before.
Campaign on Hawaii
Plans for Senator Baldwin's LA
, waii campaign were TO have been con
, pleted in Hilo yesterday. He was ex
+ pected to start his campaign on Sun
day and preliminary plans were fol
him to speak at Pahoa, Kalapana, OPT
hikao the day of his arrival and a
Olaa and other points yesterday.

interest on the Big Island and thci
activity is welcomed by the part,
