Kauai's Help Is
Appreciated By
G. 0. P. Leaders
Sheriff William H. Rico- Jr., chair
man of Kauai's Republican commit
too, has an nchlng arm and a lamo
back this morning. And It's all due
to tho election. Not that ho or any
body elso got rough about tho con
test. Ho simply tried to carry homo
all tho wireless messages that ho
received congratulating him, tho loy
al Jtopubllcanfe and Kauai as a
whole on tho wonderful Hepubllcan
victory Saturday. That was enough
to put anybody under tho weather.
As soon as the joyful news was
known, tho sheriff wirelessed tho re
sults to tho Republican headquar
ters In Honolulu. Before ho had time
to get to tho office ho had an ans
wer from Lawrence M. Judd, chair
man of tho Republican territorial
central committee.
"Congratulations on Kauai's show
ing," tho message read. Then tho
chairman evidently re-read tho fig
ures and ho got moro enthusiastic
than over. "Heck with tho expens
es," he said, "we'll just send those
Kauai folks unother message."
"Please extend to all loyal Repub
licans congratulations on tho won
derful victory," was tho second mes
sage the sheriff received. And ever
since has been a busy man congrat
ulating and thanking nearly overy
onebody ho met. For tho results show
that almost everybody on tho Gar
den Island Is a loyal Republican.
About six minutes after tho Ho
nolulu message arrived, Maut evi
dently got the news. Harold Rice,
who was chairman of the Republi
can convention that nominated Har
ry Baldwin as Hawaii's candidate',
sent tho following wireless: "Con-j
gratulations and appreciation on
Kauai's fine showing."
Chairman Rico thinks that the
election wa3 an enormous success
and ho wants to thank all Kauaians
who helped In making it tho big
gest' Republican victory in tho his
tory of tho territory.
SCARCITY OF JURORS FOR
HANALEI ROBBERY CASE
Considerable difficulty Is being ex
perienced In tho fifth circuit court
In obtaining jurors for tho caso
known as tho Hanaloi robbery caso.
Yesterday one panel was completely
exhausted duo to tho attorney for
tho defense using his preemptory
challenges and also that many of
tho prospective jurors were already
convinced as to tho guilt or inno
cenco of tho accused.
After tho panel was exhausted.
Judge Achi ordered that bystanders
bo impaneled but even with those
methods enough men who had not
formed an opinion could not bo
found to completo tho Jury.
Today a now panel will bo called
and it is hoped that tho jury can
be picked so that the trial can bo
carried on speedily.
Tho charge against tho men Is
first degreo robbery In connection
with a holdup of a gambling house
in Hanalei. Tho indictment that
.charged them with robbing ono Leo
01 was thrown out of tho court, as
tho court ruled that tho mon were
in Jeopardy during tho first trial
nnd therefore could not bo placed
In Jeopardy again.
MUSICAL TREAT IS IN

A raro treat is in store for tho
music lovers of Kauai in tho prom

L1HUE,
Teachers Will Not
Send Delegate To
National Convention
At a mooting of tho Hawaii Edu
cation Association held at the Li
huo school last Saturday at which
ovcry school on this island was rep
resented, it wan decided that it
would bo too oxpenolvo an under
taking for tho local association to
send a delegate to tho national con
vention to bo held in Boston next
July. " An alternate howover, was
elected, tho cholco falling on Mrs.
K. C. Ahaua, principal of the Hulola
school.
Tlie territorial executive commit
tee of) tho association, howover, has
decided that a delegate at large be
sent to Boston, and the islands of
Maul and Hawaii have also elected
alternates. The alternate from tho
island which has tho largest percent
age of teachers enrolled in tho Ha
waii Education Association by May
1st will bo selected as tho delegate
at large to go to Boston. It is hop
ed at this convention, steps will bo
taken that will eventually cnablo
Hawaii to sccuro federal aid for
special school activities.
Kawalhau voters again demonstrat
ed their refusal to follow the popu
lar sentiment in returning an over
whelming majority for Senator Bald
win last Saturday, when this district
gave McCandless 7G per cent of Mr.
Baldwin's total, whereas tho Demo
cratic candidate only received 35
per cent of Baldwin's Kauai total.
Percentages for this district were
as follows: Baldwin -19 per cent;
McCandless 37 per cent; Kumulae
12 per cent; Mrs. Atcherly 2 per
cent.
J
As tho polling progressed on Sat
urday an overwhelming Baldwin vic
tory wns predicted, judging from
tho remarks of those who canio to
voto early. About fifteen volunteers
with automobiles labeled "Voto for
Baldwin" wero out taking voters
to and from tho polling place, and
tho final returns for this district
caused many of the volunteers to be
lieve that they carried many fol
lowers of McCandless to vote.
i
Tho voting was orderly and thoro
was no rush, as local employers of
voters all allowed them to voto
during working hours to avoid a
last minuto congestion. Counting
was started promptly at 5 and was
finished at 7. A largo crowd was
there to hear the returns.

KAUAI, TERRITORY OF HAWAII, TUESDAY. MARCH 28, 1922
GOLDEN
INVESTMENT
An elderly lady once told mo that
ono of tho - best Investments she
ever made was a trip around tho
world. She said that tho stock nev
er depreciated, nor passed its di
vidends, ns oven tho best gilt-edge
Investments do at times. She was
reaping tho bonoflts every day, in
her reading, in her conversation
with her friends or family, and in
tlto personal interest she felt in dif
ferent nationalities, all over the
globe. It was an investment which
would last as long as her memory
lasted, nnd in case of any infirmi
ty of old ago coming upon her, she
would still realizo on this particular
investment.
This is an idea for you to think ov
er, and sco if you do not wish to
invest similarly, by taking advan
tage of tho opportunity offered, to
see tho beauties of Kauai, on an
unusual trip. You know what it is:
tho trip planned by tho Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Co., on Saturday,
April Sth, to go by tho good ship
Kinau entirely around tho island.
You may be fortunate enough lat
er to sco other parts of the world,
but you will travol far, before you
will see any view which will equal
those cliffs between Hanalei and
Waimca; I doubt If you will over
see n view which can surpass this
in its sheer beauty, of coloring and
niagificence.
As it is necessary for obvious rea
sons, to have the quota of 125 tick
ets sold not merely spoken for, and
then perhaps cancelled at tho last
minute will YOU pleaso communi
cate with Miss Helen Kimball AT
ONCE. You may reach her by tele
phone at tho residence of Chas. A.
Rice, nnd she will call and deliver
your ticket to you, or make Homo
arrangement which will bo conveni
ent, lor you.
If ' you aro in doubt about any
detail of tho trip as planned, ask
Miss Kimball, and she will bo glad
to explain. In caso you wish to em
bark at Nawllhvlli, Instead of Wui
mea, and return to Kola, the lust
stopping place, notify Clem Gomes
of tho Waimca Stables of this fact,
as ho has very kindly made n spe
cial rato for the trip between Ko
loa and Nuwillwill, and will have
enough cars to transport all who
wish to make this trip, at tho very
low rato of 75 cents per passenger.
Do not lose this opportunity to
make a golden investment It may
not. come your way again, and you
will always remember this scene, if
Jt Is once imprinted on tho photo
graphic plato of your mind a glor
ious picture of one of nature's great
masterpieces.
Tho following havo purchased
tickets during tho week, making a
total of 42 signed up for tho trip:

DELIGHTED WITH
THE GARDEN ISLAND
A party of visitors took a flying
trip around this Island during tho
past week, nnd when seen at Koloa
just before returning to Honolulu,
were most enthusiastic over tho
beauties and charms of tho Garden
Island.
Dr. Sumner and his daughter. Miss
Eslelle Sumner, of Rochester, Now
York, and Maj. and Miss Livingston
of Now York, Colorado, and lato of
California, made up tho party, and
wont from Ilaena to Mana, taking
in all the side trips to Kauai's many
points of interest, Including of course
Waimca and Olokcla canyons. Al
though they had recently made -tlto
ascent of Haloakala unfortunately,
in a pouring rain, so they wero dis
appointed in not seeing tho crater
at all and had touted both Maui
and Hawaii, thoy were unanimous in
saying that Kauai surpassed both
these islands, and Oahu as well.
The god of weather smiled on them,
and they had two perfect days, and
tills fact, combined with good roads,
comfortable cars provided by the
Walmoa Stables, and kindly atten
tions of Sam Pcahu (who provided
thorn with mallo lels and music on
their departure) lias made four good
boosters for Kauai, wherever they
may go.
Dr. Sumner is. an amateur photo
grapher of no small ability, and
took many pictures witli which ho
hopes to show his friends from "Mis
souri" and olsewhere, what marvel
ous views Kauai can furnish to vis
itors. Maj. and Miss Livingston havo
traveled extensively, and taken
trips to tho Rocky mountains, and
in Colorado and California, on horse
back, and they were so enthusias
tic over tho possibilities of having
a trip of that kind here, that they
may return ere long for this pur
pose. Miss Helen Kimball, of tho Trav
el Bureau of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Co. planned the trip for
theso visitors, and hopes lo send
many more people in tho future
who will bo as enthusiastic boost
ers for Kauai, ns this entire party
bocanio during their all too short
stay here. The travol bureau is a
recent innovation of this company,
and it is hoped that residents of
the islands will take advantage of
it, whenever thoy wish to plan trips
to other' Islands than tho one on
which thoy live. Miss Kimball will
bo very glad to assist in any way
possible, tlioso who wisli informa
tion, or actual reservations for
steamers, hotels or automobiles, if
prospective tourists will communi
cato with her, In care of tho main
office of tho company in Honolulu.
Teachers who wish to spend vaca
tion time In taking trips aro espe
cially invited to get in touch with
Miss Kimball, and they wish to
mako up parties, they may find it
to their advantage to consult her
about rates.
H. B. Graham, llfo insurance spe
cialist with the Trent Trust Co. of
Honolulu, is on Kuuai this week.

Baldwin Polls Largest
Vote In Island History
Clem Gomes, the manager of tho
Nawlllwlll branch of tho Wnlmoa
Stables, established a reputation as
an election prophet when ho pre
dicted that Harry A. Baldwin would
poll 1400 votes on Kauai. The Re

ed exactly 1412 votes on Kauai nnd
Nllhau. McCandless, whom many
claimed would carry the island was
nearly ono thousand votes bohind
with a total of 475. Kumalno polled
131, whllo tho best Mrs. Atcherly
could do was twenty.
Kilauea leads tho roll for Bald
win with a record of OG per cent
of tlie votes cast going to the Maul
man. Makawell was second with a
total of 92 percent.
One of the surprises of the elec
tion was tho voto polled by Baldwin
in Kawalhau which has always been
known as a McCandless stronghold.

date by over 50 votes. This is the
only district in which Baldwin fail
ed to poll tho majority of tho votes
cast.
Baldwin polled the biggest vote
over given a candidate for public
office on Kauai. Tho Republican
