After Representativeship
Republican Platform Calls For Liberal School Policies In
Which It Recommends a High School For Kauai A
Good-Road Policy is Also Included
The county convention came off
last Saturday in a manner most
commendable to every individual
cJMiected with the manipulation
of the political wires. A morning
session was convened for the pur
pose of various committees who had
been appointed for the formation
of a platform, rules, etc., and
whose reports were read and with
comparatively few changes,
adopted.
At twelve o'clock, a recess until
1:30 was declared, and the dele
gates repaired to the palatial home
of Hon. W. H. Rice, where a
bountiful feast of roast pig and
other Hawaiian delicacies awaited
their attention.
Following the luau, they return
ed to the hall where the work of
leading reports was resumed, after
which the regular work of nomina
tion of candidates was begun. No
opposition save the County At
itorney's office, was evidenced, and
ti;e matter of selecting the candi
dates was not in the least difficult.
The County Attorney's office was
sought by Sam Kaeo and Attorney
Kaulukou. The latter gained for
some time, but, Kaeo's supporters
rallied to his assistance and gave
him 34 votes to his opponent's 20,
landing the plum to Kaeo by a
good majority.
The Platform
The Republican Party of the
County of Kauai believes that the
electors of this County ate entitled
to a f till and free statement of the
principles upon which we stand
and that these electors are entitled
to a written declaration or pledge
on behalf of its candidates upon
all important issues now before
this County.
Reaffirming allegiance to the
p!well known principles and tradi
tions of the Republican Party of
the Nation and to its policies as
outlined in the National Platform,
we hereby especially endorse the
hitrh-minded a n d statesmanlike
platform adopted by the Republi
can Territorial Convention assem
bled at Honolulu, September 16th,
1912 and in addition to these prin
ciples and traditions we hereby
announce to the electors of the
County of Kauai the following
platform:
The President:
1 We heartily endorse the wise
and conservative administration
of the office of Chief Executive by
President Taft.
Governor Frear:
2. We endorse the vigorous
and successful- administration of
Governor Frear and are proud of
the results thereby accomplished
for the welfare of the Territory of
Hawaii.
The Delegate:
3. We congratulate the Terri
tory on the continued remarkable
success of Delegate Kalanianaole
in obtaining financial and other
legislation by Congress for Hawaii
nei. Such results call for his re
election as a matter of course.
Kauai Republican Legislators:
4. We heartily endorse a n d
support the honest and faithful
work o f the Kauai Republican
Legislators whom we had the good
fortune to nominate and elect in
1910, and hereby express our ap
preciation of the way in which
they showed their ability in dis
charging their difficult duties and
for securing for the County of
Kauai the long needed legislation
and appropriations.
Republican Supervisors:
5. We higHiy commend the
work of the Republican Board of
Supervisors of the County of Kau
ai in redeeming the pledges given
to the people in the last campaign.
Their fulfillment of the pledge
relative to the building, construe
tion and improvement of our roads,
bridges, and schools, their hand
ling of the County's finances so
that the wage-earners of this Coun
ty have had regular employment;
their administration o f matters
connected with the jails, schools,
and sanitary matters committed to
their charge by the Legislature of
1910 are worthy of the Republican
Party's approbation.
Honest, Economical Administra
tion of County Government.
6. We demand for the people
honest, economical and efficient
administration of County Govern
ment by the officers thereof, and
will use every effort to require
County Officials to spend the public
money to the best advantage, and
that in the building of schools and
new school rooms; the building
and construction of good roads
within this County and of other
public works, the public money
shall not be wasted and that com
petent officials only shall be en
gaged to control mid direct the
expenditures required for such
purposes.
7. We heartily cudosc the plank
adopted by the Territorial Conven
tion regarding the public lands and
their administration.
8. Board of Health. We recom
mend the successful efforts of the
Territorial Board of Health to con
stantly improve the agencies guard
ing the public health and favor
such legislation as will increase the
efficiency of this most important
branch of the public service. Wc
strongly endorse a continuation of
the liberal administration of the
public health department.
We commend the Legislature
for having made ample appropria
tion for the schools which enabled
this county to increase its teaching
force from 58 teachers in 1910 to
95 in 1912. and we ask that the
appropriation be encreased com
Uieusurate w i t h the increased
growth of our schools.
W e furthermore pledge our
party's support for a libercl appro
priation for the erection a n d
maintenance ot a High School for
Kauai that our children may have
the same educational advantages at
home instead of having to leave the
Island as they are now forced to
do, and if it becomes necessary to
issue bonds for this purpose we
favor such legislation as will allow
us sufficient funds to carry on the
same.
We pledge that our Board of
Supervisors will continue to erect
additional school rooms as our
needs demand it.
10. We pledge our Supervisors to
provide adequate janitor services
for the public schools and provide
a stricter enforcement of the
truancy law.
We pledge our Senators and
Representatives to work for a n
additional appropriation sufficient
to erect suitable buildings for our
Court, County Offices and Jail.
We recommend that the Super
visors install a water works for
Hanalei when funds are available.
Firmly believing that no Party
should be entitled to ask for the
suffrage o f the electors of the
County of Kauai unless such Party
should first declare itself upon
t h e foregoing principles, w e
solemnly pledge ourselves and our
candidates to the foregoing.
WHO THEY ARE
FOR SENATOR
C. A. RICE: Mr. Rice has
done such excellent work during
his reDresentativeshin that it is
needless to say more than to add
that by sending him to the Senate,
the voters will not only show their
appreciation of all he has done for
the interests of Kauai, but will be
placing a man at the head of our
affairs, w h o understands every
phase o f the political situation,
which means that if there's any
thing coming to Kauai, she will
get it.
FOR REPRESENTATIVES
J. K. LOTA: -The Hanalei
candidate for representative is our
well known supervisor, and cx
deputy sheriff. T. K. Lota, like Mr.
Rice, he, too, is too well known
to require an introduction. He is
in the race, asks our assistance
and should get it.
W. J. SHELDON: Here is Mi
other political horse who is bridle
wise to the least detail of the needs
of his district. He is from the
Waimea district, and the fact ti.'at
he has been there lcfore, is proof
sufficient to warrant the support
of the voters.
J. II. CONEY: Genial Jack, the
1oliticfll war hor?c of Kauai. And
who doesn't know that he is one
of the most capable men we have
In the game. Vote for him? Why
you can't help it, if you desire to
add another capable man to our
list of experts.
RUFUS S P A L D I N G M r.
Spalding, is another popular man,
and while new in political harness,
it requires no prophet to say that
to put your vote on him will be
one of the wisest acts of your lite.
FOR SUPERVISORS
II. D. WISIIARD: As chair
man of the Board of Supervisors
for years, during which time he
has proven himself without a peer
in the discharg ol his duties as
such, Supervisor Wishard is out to
succeed himself in the Lihuc Dis
trict. He will get there, too, with
both feet.
Walter McBryde, the Koloa
nominee for Supervisor, has a
reputation for progressivencss
which insures him the supiort of
every sensible voter on the island.
Francis Gay, is not only a high
ly capable man but might be justly
termed the "gentleman super
visor." His reelection is assured.
MR. EKEKELA: Another
new aspirant for the position of
supervisor, for the Kawaihau dis
trict. He is said to be a young
man o.f exceptional ability, and
we learn that he deserves the sup
port of the people.
MENEFOGLIO: He is a new
man on the political horizon, but
as he works by electricity, is said
to be a mighty speedy man. We
are more than glad to welcome
him to our fold and start nim with
a hearty kukual
FOR SHERIFF
THE SHERIFF: The fact that
Willie Rice has had no opposition
even from the democratic ranks,
indicates the confidence the people
impose in him. He is a natural
born sheriff and is as good as
elected right now.
FOR ATTORNEY
COUNTY ATTORNEY: Sam
Kaeo made a gallant fight, and
finally won the nomination by a
small margin. Suffice to say he
won out and that he will land the
plum again.
FOR CLERK
COUNTY CLERK: John Ka
neakua handles the clerkship so
successfully that his nomination was
a matter course, mat lie wm ne
elected there is no doubt for in
addition to his ability as clerk, he
is one of the most popular officials
on the county pay roll.
FOR TREASURER
Harold Morgan, the man who is
soliciting your vote for treasurer
ship, is one of Kauai's well-known
young business men. and has for
the past six mouths or so, ad
ministered the office to the satis
faction of everyone. I f elected,
which he surely will be there
is no doubt but the county's strong
box will be properly guarded.
FOR AUDITOR
COUNTY AUDITOR: C. Ma
ser is again the nominee for this
position. He has asked for a life
time lease on it, and the least the
