Splendid Victory To Be Celebrated With Many Luaus Six Thousand 1 Laulaus With Vast Quantities of Poi and Sweet Potatoes are Provid ed for Tomorrow Tomorrow afternoon Central and East Maul will celebrate with Luaus the Baldwin victory of last Saturday. The Haua district will celebrate later probably the following Satutday and Lahaina and West Maul will have their celebration on Saturday, April 8. Plans for luaus for this section of the Island were made at u meeting held in Wailuku Town Hall on Tues day afternoon when district heads were appointed chosaa chiefly lroin thfi Women's Auxiliary. Each dis trict will fix the time lor its own cele bration and arrange for the handling of the crowds and the service of the good eats. Six Thousands Laulaus Forty thousand tl leaves, 3000 lbs. of beef, 3000 pounds of pork and 3000 pounds salmon will be required for the 6000 laulaus that will be served at the eight big luaus that will be held tomorrow. And in addition there will be 25 barrels of poi and 25 sacks of sweet potatoes with many many cases of soda to wash down the viands. One proposal was for the holding of one immense gathering in the Fair Grounds and the holding of the one luau for 5000 or 6000 persons there but it was decided that the under taking was too big to handle so far as service of the food is concerned. As a result it was decided to have eight gatherings, the biggest In Wailuku and Kahului. The Wailuku luau will be in the armory and for the voters of the Wailuku, WTaihee and Waikapu precincts. In the Fair Grounds the Puunene and Kahului voters will gather for their feast. Paia, Hama kuapoko and that neighborhood will have tables spread at the Paia tennis courts. The school house has been selected for the Makawao affair. Hai ku,will have its spread at the Haiku Ranch or old Coin Mill and Ulupa lakua, Keokea and Kihel have not announced where their's will be held but they will have them. At each one there is an assurance of abun dance and each captain was told it was up to him or her and to their Lieutenants to see that the voters are served first. The first table for the voters, women and men, is the word that has gone out. Children can come afterward. Party politics An nnt enter into any of the affairs, they are strictly non-partisans. All Maul citizens, not merely the Repub licans either enter into the rejoicing. Three Big Imus Three great imus will be needed to cook the food which will be packed and delivered to each of the meeting places Saturday afternoon. The poi will be delivered today. D. T. Fleming is responsible for the West Maui Luau. He has asked per mission of the Harbor to hold it on the new Mala W7harf and will so ar range if the necessary permission is secured. W. F. Pogue and Supervisor Drum mond will make the arrangements in extreme East Maui and it is expected there will be luaus at Nahiku, Kipa hulu, Hana and Keanae. Women Will Not Form Partisan Clubs Now; Stay Out of League More than 30 representative women of Maui, officers and district execu tives of the Suffrage Club and the Women's Republican Auxiliary met in Wailuku Town Hall yesterday af ternoon and considered the subjects of maintaining a permanent organiza tion of women voters either non-partisan or partisan. Mrs. H. A. Bald win presided, there were representa tives from all parts of the Island ex cept the liana district and the dis cussion was free and general. 'Mrs. Baldwin first brought up the subject of entering the League of Women Voters, a mainland non-partisan organization of which a branch lias just been organized on Oahu. The Honolulu organization desires branches on the other Islands. It was decided not to enter that organization at this time but it may be joined later. The purpose of the League Is largely study and its plans at this time are rather indefinite. Proposals to form a Woman's Re publican Club were considered and won some support but it was thought advisable merely to join the precinct clubs at present, district leaders to organize such women voters and ar range for study meetings. The Wo man Suffrage Club organization, which has not been active in recent months, will be maintained and be fore the next election a Maui Woman's Republican Club may be organized. Toward the close of the meeting Mrs. Howell and a number of others of the ladies present felicitated Mrs. Baldwin on the success of the recent campaign and the splendid vote that had been cast for her husband and Mrs. Baldwin replied expressing for the delegate his thanks for the sup port the women of Maul had given him and her own appreciation. She said she was going to Washington, leaving tonight, to be with him, at his side, in his efforts to secure the best obtainable for Hawaii and its people.

The sec ond conference of the Hawaiian pine apple canners opened here yesterday. The. program included a paper by Guy Stewart on "The chemical laboratory as an aid to the canner," H. L.

I do not expect to be a candidate for reelection. When I consented to ac cept the nomination if it should be offered to me by the party I said I would only take the delegateship for the unexpired term and would only do so in order that the party might get together at the time of the re gular election solidly behind a candi date who can and will win. "I have not changed my mind. I do not expect to be a candidate for reelection. That Is all I can say now. It was never a secret that Baldwin was reluctant to consent to making the race for delegate and was insis tent that if he did so it would be for the unexpired term only. It is reported that on several occasions since the convention both delegate Baldwin and Mrs. Baldwin have expressed their preference for Maul over Wa shington and the desire to be back in their home here when the session of congress for which he has been chosen Is ended. Further he does not like political campaigning of the type he has undergone, and a new candidacy would mean a primary as well as an election campaign. Political leaders of tUis country re cognize the difficulty. They do not see, on the one hand, how Baldwin can avoid running again in the au tumn unless a unanimity of senti ment for some one else develops be tween now and then, and, on the other hand they say he was given support of other aspirants on the strength of his assertion that he would be a candidate only for the un expired term. -i The new delegate will leave Maul tomorrow night and will sail from Honolulu Wednesday, hurrying his departure a week forward of his first announced plans.
