Campaign Plans
For Candidates
We'll Arranged
Aspirants for Delegate Invited
To Make Trip and Address
Meetings With Would-Be
Territorial Legislators.

Republican candidates for the legis-
lature in this representative district
and such of the Republican candidates
for delegate as may be able to ac-
company them will carry on a speak
ing campaign from September q to
~ it was decided at a meeting of
the candidates held in Waiiullu Town
Hall yesterday morning attended by
all except four or five of the candi-
dates, Sam kalama, Charley Wilcox,
Delegate Baldwin and others. The
candidates who were absent were
either in the Hama district or on Mo-
Alokai campaigning and will be noti-
fled of the program
1t is unlikely that candidate John
Wise will be able to be with the party,
but he will be asked to send a repre-
sentative if he desires Letters of in
vitation to him and candidates Lyman
and King were sent out by last nights
mail by Charley Wilcox, who acted as
secretary of the meeting.
kaama Made MANAGER
Sam Kalama is campaign manager,
that is, arrangements for the meetings
are in his hands, the "honor" being
thrust upon him on the motion being
put by Representative Paschoal since
Kalama was in the chair. 1t had
been made by Paschoal and was sec
onded by Senator Rice. The general
itinerary was arranged by the meet
ing, however.
Because of the fact that there are
21 candidates campaigning it was pro
posed that the candidates divide into
two parties but that found opposition.
Delegate Baldwin said there would be
/, talk about throat cutting if there
were two parties while if they kept
together each would know the others
were playing fair. He took the op-
portunity to give the candidates lit
tie talk on avoiding personalities and
keeping the campaign clean. All were
Republicans and should remember it,
The fact that choice at the primary
Meant election did not alter that fact
IL y the introduction of personalities
i to campaign tended to split the
party for long years into the future.
Tour Is Arranged
When it came to the arranging of
the itinerary Senator Rice took out
2 pencil and paper and consulted
others as he jotted down names and
places. One point that entered into
the plans was that there will be a
church convention on Molokai and
that will mean gathering that could
not otherwise be secured and will
avoid the necessity OF much travelling
about on that Island
Candidates will take the Mikahala
to Kalaupapa leaving Lahaina on the
evening of Wednesday, September 20,
and will have Thursday, the 21st, for
the campaign at the Settlement. They
will return TO Lahaina and have Fri
day on that side of the Island with
the chief meeting in Lahaina on Fri
day night, September %.
2 Saturday, September 20, they will
come over to Wailuku and meetings
at Waikapu and Waihee are to be ar
rangd with a big meeting in Wailuku.
Sunday morning, September "a, the
party will board the Mikahala and
proceed to Pukoo where there will be
a meeting following the luau which
will close the church convention, prob
ably about three in the afternoon.
Sunday night the Makaiwa will take
the campaigners from Pukoo to Kau-
po in the Hama district. Monday and
part of Tuesday, September 25 and
26, will be devoted TO the Hama dis
trlct with SpeecheS at hdupO, hlpd-
bulu and Hama on Monday and Nahi-
ku and Keanae Tuesday then contin-
uing on to Kahului.
Tuesday night, September 26, there
will be meetings at Puunene and Paia
and Wednesday at Makawao and Hal
ku. Delegate candidates can take
steamer either to Hawaii or to Homo
lulu on Wednesday.
Will Continue Later.
Such a program does not mean that
the campaign is ended II days before
election. If desirable further meet
ings can be arranged afterward The
arrangement is designed to give the
delegate candidates an opportunity to
make a pretty thorough canvass and
at the same time TO take the leSis-
fative candidates over the precincts
that are hardest to reach and also TO
give them big meetings in Lahaina
and Wailuku, Paia and Puunene
