M'CAiLESS OFF TO BIG Tells Kuhio Manager. He Must Get Votes to Prevent Primary Election A statement declared by politicians to be of extreme significance as show ing the strength of Charles A. Rice, Republican candidate for delegate, made by U L. McCandleBS today shortly before the Democratic aspir- ant sailed for a stumping tour on the Island of HawalL ' McCandless told John. Wise; manag er of the Kuhio campaign, that he is going to the big island to see if he can secure enough votes to prevent Rice being elected at the primaries, -Link told me that hl trip to Ha waii is to keep Rice from being elect ed on a majority Tote at the prima. rles." said Wise later. Under the new ; primary law. If any candidate for nomination -at the pri maries receives majority of all the votes cast,' he is forthwith elected and will not have to run again in the gen eral November election. Secretary of the Territory Thayer - has held that this provision does not apply to the candidates for house and senate, as the organic act specifies . that they must be elected at the later date, but it Is declared to hold good for the delegsteshlp. McCandless. according to this state ment, fears that Rice will not only beat Kuhio for the Republican nomina tion, but that the Rice vote will be larger than the Kuhio vote, the Mc Candless Democratic vote and the Carter Progressive rote, and that Rice will be elected at the primaries. But whether McCandless meant all he said is not knows. At anv rale, he fears that his chanc es on Hawaii are going to be much diminished by Rice's tour of the Big Island, which will end this week. Rice; is reported as having been decidedly; successful on his tour. . Delegate Kuhio, accompanied by Rev. Stephen I Desha and former Representative J. P. Hale, sailed for Kauai yesterday.
