Down to Hard Task
First Efforts Call for Direction
OF all Energies in Getting
Large Registration of Vot-
ers.

Registrations and re-registrations
for the coming election have taken n
decided boost in the past few davs
under the stimulus of more or less
concerted efforts and plans are form
ulatlng which should work out better
IMAM IN any compaign on the Valley
Isle heretofore. 1t is designed that
every former voter shall be brought
Dack on the roster and that MANY. as Z
nearly as possible all, who are en-
Titled to the ballot shall be enrolled
County Clerk William Fred Kaae
returned from the Hama district SAT-
urday night having gone up bv
steamer and returned by way of the
lower ditch trail. Yesterday he went
up to Ulupalakua and today he is to
be at Haiku and Pauwela. While he
is out work still goes on al the
County Clerks office.
Extra Work Planned
In addition to the work which the
county would ordinarily do in the
way of registrations it is planned to
nave number of deputies named by
him to make a further house to house
registration and in some precincts it
is proposed to have precinct campaign
committees OF the different races and
nationalities or more of each such
race or nationality being made res
ponsible for the registrations of all
voters of his or their own classified
ton
Kahului is doing some excellent
work in getting voters on the regis
ter. Up to yesterday morning there
had been enrolled more than 20 who
had not been registered for the last
election. In Wailuku efforts have
been directed largely to re-registra-
tions so far and some volunteers are
circulating and having signed and
turned in the necessary blank forms
signed in two places. Much work re-
mains to be done at the county seat,
however. In Puunene there will be
conducted an active house to house
campaign.
There was q conference of some of
the party leaders Saturday but MOTHS
ing for publication came from it. s..
f. Kalama left for Honolulu Satur-
day night and planned to go on to Hilo
tomorrow. 1t is reported that Peruvia
]. Goodness will go to Honolulu to
work in the Baldwin interests there.
1t is clearly recognized that the
only real danger that Baldwin has
to face is that of over confidenes in
the party workers.
In Honolulu Senator Desha explain
ed utterances that were attributed to
him in alleged interviews prior to the
convention and declared himself as
heartily in support of Baldwin who,
he said would carry East Hawaii He
was not so sure of West Hawaii, he
said.
Democrats Worried
Both of the Honolulu newspapers
have published editorials in support
of and laudatory to Baldwin and are
rexpressing confidence of his election.
There a considerable interest has at
tached to the platform of the Demo
Gratis. The proposed declarations
have been made public and contain
a laudatory effusion lamenting Kuhio
and a straddle on the labor question
among other things. McCandless has
already expressed himself as in favor
of the proposed labor relief legisla-
tion and that does not suit the radi-
/ Gals of his organization who would
cater to the radical labor vote. 1t has
been reported that McCandless favor
ed a platform which called for the
/ carrying out of the unfinished pro
, gram of Kuhio but has been unable
!. to put it across" The proposed plat
form was ratified yesterday.
All efforts of the McCandless men
to keep Kumalae out of the fracas
: have failed and he is on the Big Is
p land campaigning for the end of the
: world and against labor relief.
Mrs. Atcherly remains in the cam
paign, also, and is reported as to be
> going to the Big Island tomorrow.
I McCandless is also planning to head
! for Hawaii and that appears to be
, the first fighting ground. They will
take the same steamer tomorrow.
Senator Baldwin's illness is nothing
; serious and it will not be long before
{ he is able personally to enter upon
his campaign. He will likely follow
Sam Kalama over to Hawaii before
many days are past.
In Hilo the Tribune welcomed Bald
wins nomination with a strong edi
, torial but the Post Herald was moi
