THE WEEKLY HILO TRIBUNE, HILO. HAWAII, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1903.
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
Again the Tkiiiuni pusetitsto
the voters of Hawiii the candidates
the Republican party has selected to
fill the county offices. They are
men who will do nothing in official
life to cause 11 voter to regret having
supported them. ;
LORRIN A. ANDREWS I
I,. A. Andrews, th; Republican
candidate for Sheriff, is known as
the man who early in life was taught
to ride, to shoot and to tell the
truth. He carries those early ac-(
quired qualities with him today.
He gomes ftotn one of the best
families in Hawaii and was born
in Lahaina on Maui in 1857. He
was reared and educated in these
islands, and since the death of Judge
Wilcox in Honululu recently there
is, perhaps, not in all Hawaii a man
who better understands the charac
ter of the Hawaiian people than
Lorrin A. Andrews. While still a
young man he held seveial impor
tant positions on his native island
and at the time ol the revolution
was invited by Marshal Hitchcock
to go to Honolulu, where he was
made a captain of police. For
"meritorious conduct and efficient
service" he was promoted to the
office of Sheriff of Maui. Seven
or eight years .igo Mr. Andrews
was transferred to this ishud and
has been at the head of the police
department here ever since. Dur
ing all his public career L. A. An
drews has never asked tor office
until the present time, when as the
nominee of the Republican party
he expects the voters of this county
to honor him with their support.
NATHAN C. WILLFONC
Nathan C. Willfong, Republican
candidate for the office of Auditor,
was born in the Hawaiian Islands,
and for faithfulness in the public
service has a record that cannot be
assailed or discredited. Mr. Will
lbug combines the best personal
virtues with thorough official com
pelency, and with the people of
Hawaii, among whom he is well
known, there will be little hesita
tion as to how to vote on the ques
tion of the Auditorship.
He was Deputy Assessor for
North and South Hilo Districts
from 1891 to 189S. Since the l.mer
date he has held the office of Asses
sor for the Third Division, whn.li
embraces the entire Island ot Ha
waii. His work has brought him
not only into close touch with the
people, but has enabled him to ac
cumulate a fund of knowledge of ,
the affairs of the county which will
make him an almost indispensable
officer. j
CHARLES A. STOBIE
Charles A. Stobie, the Rcpubli-I
can nominee for Treasurer of the
County of East Hawaii, and who
will bring into that office, if elected,
qualities and capabilities superior
to any bond, was born in Quincy,
111., in January, 1S50. He was a
Republican before he was old
enough to vote and celebrated his
...:..:... 1... ..,;., fnr r... tt
Grant for President. He has been
an active Republican worker all his 1
life, aud while opportunity to hold
office was many times his for the
asking, he has never been a candi
date until the present time. Mr.
Stobie's life career has been that of
a banker. He has had thirty-five
years' experience in banking and
other financial institutions, and has
been connected with some of the
.strongest financial houses in the
States.
Mr. Stobie has been in Hawaii
almost five years and has been con
nected with the First Hank of Hilo
since its organization. A better
man for Treasurer cannot be found
in the limits of the county.
GEORGE H. WILLIAMS
George II. Williams, Republican
candidate for the office of Tax As
sessoi for the County ot hast Ha
waii, is nu old-timer in the Islands.
For a number of years pre ions to
1890 he held responsible positions
with plantations 011 this and other
islands. In 1892 he was marie
Deputy Sheriff on this island and
subsequently held the office of Sher
iff. During the past four years Mr
Williams has held the office of Tax

devoted to the ministry, has ever

j JOSEPH VIERRA
Joseph Yierra lauded in Hono-
'lulu in 1872, thtn a lad but 15
j years of age. Like a good many
jotlui wide awake boys, "Joe," as
'he is familial ly known to his
fi iends, and iheir name is legion,
one lay in rid Flores, Azores, went
aboard a w haling bark and forgot
to go ashore again. When he
lauded in Honolulu he was cabin
boy on the whaler Onward. His
love of adventure was again proven
for here he went' ashore and forgot
to return though the bark left a
few dajs afterwards for the Arctic.
1 Young and alone Joe was taken
into the family of old man Pereira,
fath t of Associate Justice Antonio
Peny of the Supreme Court of the
Territory. Mr. Yierra after attend
ing school 111 Honolulu for a year
or two, in 1874 came to Hilo and
here and hereabouts he has re
mained, excepting for a short so
journ some years ago in the capital
city, where he was running the cele
brated old White House 011 Nuuatiu
avenue. F01 some years he was a
cane planter aud sugar boiler for
tht old Paukaa plantation, now a
part of the Onoinea Sugar Co. The
Hilo Hotel was first opened up by
him, and though his line hotel
building on Waianuenue street was
burnt to the ground one night,
still he persevered and went into
the old hotel building on Pitman
street. He later sold out to other
parties. Mr. Yierra married one of
Hawaii's fairest daughters and she.
