Kauai Political
Center Last Week;
Candidates All. Here
Politics hold tho center of tho
. stago laat week on Kauai, no -lcsi
than three candidates for tho otfico
of delegate wcro touring tho island.
Mrs. Atcherly, tho Independent can
didate, Link McCandless, tho reg
ular Democratic nominee, and Sena
tor Harry Baldwin, Republican can
didate, wcro all busy electioneering
for tholr various causes.
Mrs. Atcherly held meetings at
various parts of tho island but did
not oxclto very much interest, her
crowdB being very small. But tho
flow of oratory has not been govern
ed by the slzo of tho crowd, but
seems to bo inversely so, as tho
larger meetings of tho other candi
dates tho spell-binding has not been
anywhere near tho offerings of Mrs.
Atcherly and her helpers. .
McCandless has been attracting
more attention than Mrs. Atcherly
but not ' as much as formerly, ac
cording to political wiseacres. His
stand against tho rehabilitation act
last year won him many friends am
ong tho Portuguese who wero in fa
vor of homesteadlng. Tho homo
stcaders are beginning to realize
that their Interest aro inimical with
tho plantations and that their own
success as agriculturists depends on
the success ,of tho plantations. A
homestea'der cannot make money
with 3 1-2 cent sugar any more than
a plantation can, with tho present
supply of labor and cost of raising
a crop. With the removal of the
Cuban tariff, which is being strong
ly advocated in Congress and which
is ono of the planks of tho Demo
cratic party on their slogan, "Tariff
for revenue only," the price of su
gar would drop under 3 cents and
would spell ruin for plantation and
homesteader alike. Kauai homestead
ers are realizing that tho Hawaiian
sugar crop needs protection s and
they realize that it would not fur
ther the cause by sending a Demo
crat to a Republican Congress at
this critical time.
The Republican meotings have
been the most successful in regard
to crowds and enthusiasm. Harry
Baldwin and his fellow workers, Sen
ators Desha and Wise, Sheriff Rico,
and A. Q. Marcallino, have been
presenting tho Republican cause in
a direct and forceful manner. The
Republican has been accused by his
opponents of not being a public
speaker and therefore would not
be ahlo to present Hawaii's cause
on the floor of Congress as was
fitting. The writer remembers talk
ing over tho matter of tho debates
and speeches in Congress with a
friend who was secretary to a Con
gressman for many years, and he
told the writer that most of tho ora
tory on tho floor of Congress was
Just plain hokum, as tho matters
wero all decided In committee and
wpro cut and dried by tho time they
reached the floor. Tho old saying
that more legislation was dono ar
ound" tho dinner tables in Washing
ton than on tho 'floor of Congress,
is a true ono. '
ft Anyone who knows Harry Bald-
wfh knows that all that prevents
him from being a successful public
speaker Is his Inherent modesty that
makes himself conscious beforo a
crowd. Get him among a small group
of men and it will bo found' that
ho Is well informed, direct and
forceful in his methods of present
ing an argument, and most of his
work will bo before committees and
individuals and thoro is no doubt
in tho minds of thoso that know
him, that ho will bo ablo to gel
results for Hawaii. Senator Harry
"Baldwin Is a business man and a
ood ono and ho will tend to- thltigH
in a business-llko manner.

MUCH INTEREST IN
COMING ELECTION
Tho outcome of tho coming elec
tion this Saturday, and especially
as to how Kauai will vote, is tho
subject on nearly every tonguo in
this district, always known to bo
tho hot-bod of politics on Kauai.
Adherents of tho old Democratic
ntandby, McCandless, point to the
fact that even when Kuhlo was
running, McCandless always manag
ed to. give him somo fierce oppo
sition and oven beat him once, but
on the other hand, tho followers of
Baldwin are firmly of tho belief
that when It comes to getting tho
ivotes from Kaualans, ho will not
bo second best. 'Supporters of Ku
malae do not seem to bo very Hum
orous, and Mrs. .Atcherloy's follow
ers are not very outspoken.

Mrs. Atcherley followed after tho
regular Democrats departed, but a
majority of tho audienco had al
ready gone homo, as Link managed
to hold the stago until after 10
o'clock, although Mrs. Atchorley's
manager, Awana claimed that sho
should have been allowed to speak
first.

Senators Balwin and Wise, ac
companied by Stephen Dosha and
other Republicans, talked to the vot
ors on tho subject of why a Re
publican delegate, especially Sena
tor Baldwin, should bo sent to Con
gress at this time, which was held
in the Hawaiian hall, and although
this prevented many from attending
the hall was full.

Desha Knocks
Link's Arguments
For A Goal
Senator Stephen Desha, who, is
touring tho islands in behalf of Sen
ator Harry A. Baldwin's candidacy
for representative to , Congress, is
reported to havo nailed, and nailed
hard, some of Link McCandless's
arguments why tho Hawailans should
not voto for Mr. Baldwin,.
"Would you voto for Baldwin," Mc
Candless is said to havo asked,
"when ho refused (o endorso tho
Prlnco for governor of Hawaii and
broke his heart in the refusal?"
Desha knocked tho argument gaily
west.
"Right after tho governor's ap
pointment," ho said, "tho Prince
spent one of tho happiest weeks in
his lifo as Senator Baldwin's guest
on Maul. Do you think that ho would
havo done that it Mr. Baldwin had
treated him so badly? And further
more, do you think that tho Prin
cess would now be working night
and day, organizing clubs and doing
all sorts of work to elect Senator
Baldwin if ho had treated tho Prince
so shamefully?"
So far as we havo been ablo to
0
hoar there has been no answer to
Desha's reply and qucstionsT If
there wcro satisfactory answers to
be made thoy would have como out

Claim Jap Labor
Union Planning
Another Strike
Translation on file at the Attor
ney General's office In Honolulu
have brought to light s,omo peculiar
happenings In regard to tho labor
situation on Kauai, in connection
with tho Japancso labor unions.
According to tho translations
which were takon from local Japan
oso papers tho Japanese labor un
ion is planning another strike nnd
working toward that end financially.
This Information is said to have
como from n local Japanese physi
cian who is said to bo acting in an
advisory capacity in the union. Ac
cording to tho translation, ho has
mado these statements boastfully in
his conversations with others.
Another angle to tho case, is that
the union is planning a campaign
to arouse "the laborers and boost
the unions" by a series of lectures
beforo tho local branches and by a
series of articles in the "Yohen JIho
Sha," tho local Japancso labor pa
per, which is tho official organ of
tho labor union on Kauai. Tho head
quarters of the paper Is at Koloa N
and it is from hero that ' the propa
ganda will bo broadcasted over Ka
uai. Another point mentioned was tho
fact that a director of tho Honolulu
Japanese federation of labor made
a trip to Kauai early In tho month
to raise funds for tho defense of
fifteen Japancso recently convicted
of conspiracy.
It is said that laborers in Lihue
and Elcele wore approached and ask
ed to contribute to tho fund for tho
convicted conspirators and their fa
milies and that the local laborers
turned down tho .request of tho so
licitors. According 16 tho translation, ttiUv
lectures are' 'being nrrangod by tho
Reverend HIga, said to bo connect
ed with tho Japane'so Methodist
church in Honolulu, and George W.
Wright, president of tho central, la
bor council in Honolulu.
Another item of interest In tho
translation is tho statement that a
Japancso in Law'ai claims to havo
evidence to prove that certain rab
id Japanese labor leaders hired Fili
pinos to burn cano fields during tho
strike of H-20. This probably refers
to tho .soveraj disasterous flros that
occurred on McBrydo plantation in
1920.
