REGULAR REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
FOR DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
HARRY A.
WHO is MOST REPRESENTATIVE

Rather than see appropriations for child welfare work on Maui
decreased he would ride over rough and broken down pavements,
Harry Baldwin told the Maui board of supervisors. He added that
he is sorry that funds for child welfare work are not raised by direct
taxation under the law, as Maui raises funds for the support of the
sanitarium and hospitals. That is the type of man Harry Baldwin
is. Contrast the type with L. L. McCandless.
On more than one occasion in Honolulu, McCandless has sought
to tie up street improvements widening or paving under the law the
legislature passed providing for such improvements. He has never
been heard to voice a willingness to be taxed for an improvement
that would benefit others let alone the suggestion of being taxed in
order that needy mothers and children might be kept together in
their family life, aided to become self sustaining, self reliant and
self supporting.
Mayor John E. Wilson is quoted as saying that Harry A. Bald
wins interests are in sugar cane growing and grinding and in pine
apple growing and canning, while McCandless' interests are more
diversified and to have inquired who is the more representative. Nc
Candless interests are in his business enterprises rather than the pub
lie veal far more so than is the case with. Baldwin. Has McCandless
a club house for his employees? If he has done so the public has not
found it out. What if any contributions has McCandless made to
Amercanization work in the Islands other than in assisting in the
naturalization proceedings of aliens who might vote the Democratic
ticket? Perhaps he has helped without its being announced. On
the regulations OF the two men, what the public hears of them, the
one is always identified with public works, the other, McCandess,
is not heard of in such fields.
But coming down to business enterprises and interests. H. A.
Baldwin, as Wilson said is primarily a sugar planter and next inter
eSed III pine growing and canning. However, he Is also a rancher
interested in cattle raising, in dairy farming, the manufacture of
cement, of fuel alcohol for motor cars and for burning in stoves for
household use. He is deeply concerned in great irrigation projects
has mercantile interests, wholesale and retail, banking interests, rail
road interests and shipping snterests, both interisland and trans
pacific. He has interests in rice and taro lands as well and is one
OF the most earnest advocates and supporters of agricultural work.
III Is dong his part III and lending his aid toward reforestration
Through Investments he is interested in various lines Of endeavor on
Maui Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, Hawaii and Kauai.
Will Mayor Wilson show a longer list of business activities in
which McCandless is interested than these? w think not. If he
can do so this paper will be glad to publish the list. 1t now offers
to publish as prominently as this editorial appears a full list of the
business activities, the charity and welfare organizations and benevo-
lent enterprises in which McCandless is interested if Mayor Wilson,
Mr. McCandless or the campaign managers of Mr.. McCandcss will
furnish it.
