Baldwin Represents
Best To Be Found In
Islands of Hawaii
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
BY the passing away of our be-
loved Prince Kuhio, Hawaii truly lost
a noble and true patriot-one, who
will always be in the hearts of the
people of Hawaii mel. But in Sena-
tor Harry A. Baldwin the people of
Hawaii have found another prince.
Not that he is linked with the Royal
Hawaiian family by blood lines, but
by his generous personality-and the
name in which he serves the peo-
pie as a public servant in true Ha-
waiian style. Being a son of dear
Hawaii mel, Mr.. Baldwin is a true
Hawaiian-yes, more of a Hawaiian
than a haole, the only difference be-
ing in the color of his skin-not only
because Hawaii is the land of his
birth, but because of his unselfishness
his high ideals, his love to serve his
people, his love for them, and for the
keen interest which he takes in the
welfare of the people of Hawaii.
For generations, the Baldwin
family has worked for the Hawaiians
and for the best interests of this ter
ritory. They have maintained scores
of Hawaiains and others who were in
the last stages of life. The Baldwin
Home for the old on Maui will point
an instance among the hundreds, of
what the Baldwin family has done to
prolong the life of the helpless in
comfort. Senator Baldwin is at the
head of this noble family now, and is
carrying forward the principles laid
down by his great ancestors. 1t is an
instinct with that family to do a lot
of good things and if Mr.. Baldwin is
capable of doing these great things
out of his free and kind generosity,
he is even much more capable of do
ing other greater things, namely,
that of representative of his people
in congress and carrying forward the
interests of this territory to a success
full termination.
Now comes Mr.. Baldwin before us
with even a deeper interest in our
welfare for the future. He is willing
to forsake a home, his family, his
friends, his interests and all his vast
estates at a great sacrifice to serve
the common cause of the people of
Hawaii as their servant and this
sacrifice is worthy of consideration
and deep gratitude.
The Baldwins have made the Maui
of today. Without the Baldwins,
Maui would have been somewhat of a
desert isle inhabited by a spare popu-
lation of nomadic peoples. And Mr..
Baldwin as head of the Baldwin
family is willing to help make all the
other islands another New Maui.
His election lies in the hands of the
Hawaiians. Senator Baldwin is a
true Hawaiian and not a haole. And
the Hawaiians must realize that they
have another prince in Baldwin who
will always endeavor to work for
the best of their interests. His cleo
ton is for our mutual benefit and best
interests and it is of vital Importance
that we elect him as our Delegate to
Congress.
Those that are acquainted with Mr..
Baldwin personally feel deep graft
tude and pride in having him chosen
to lead them. With this in view, |
hope the citizens and voters of this
territory will realize what it means
to have a good man represent them
in congress.
Wishing Mr.. Baldwin the greatest
of success on the 25th of March.
l am,
Yours very truly,
MANUEL A. IDEAS, JR.
