KAPAA NOTES
PERSONALS
MANY CANDIDATES ARE OUT
FOR SEATS IN LOWER
HOUSE
The political pot which Jias lain
bo long dormant is beginning to show
signs of' activity and it should no.
ho long before it will resemble
Madame Polo at her wildest mo
inents.
The Interest at present is center
ed about the nomination for senate,
and just now only two candidates
'are In the field. Senator C. A. Met
is out for the nomination to suc-
1 coed himself, while his only oppon I
out now In view Is N. K. Hoopli
of Kupau. Iloopli was elected ii
member of the house two years ago
and now aspires to the upper house.
His strength is an unknown quanti
ty and politicians are loth to fore
cast just what sort of race he will
give Senator Rico.
Hoopale Is being mentioned nlso
as a candidate but no information
can be gleaned as to whether he
will be in the field or not. Some
of the freak bills that lie proposed i
In the last legislature will be the
hardest opposition for him to over
come. John won the championship
of the last legislature for freah
suggestions for laws.
The race for the house will have
a large field. Punl Ilayselden is one
of the Incumbents who is a candi
date for re-election. Punl has been
endorsed by the Hawaiian Civic
Club bs the haole candidate. I loo
pii, another of the Incumbents Is
out for the senate. W. A. Fernandez,
who was the fourth member of the
legislature from Kauai is now in
the orient.
Ed Gardiner of Ilanalei will be a
x candidate for the house, and as ho
has secured the endorsement of the
Hawaiian Civic Club along with S.
W. " Meheula, ho .should bo an im
portant factor in tlio race. Isaac
Kaiu of Kapaa will bo a candidate
and should pull u strong vote from
the Kawaihau precinct as well as
the rest of the island.
Jack Coney has thrown his hat
into the ring and says ho will be
there at the finish. Jack Is an old
timer at tho political game, having
served both in the house and the
senate and would bo a good man for
Kauai to have in tho legislature, his
experience as a lawmaker a
valuable asset.
Who will represent tho Por
tuguese has not boon decided. Tho
Portuguese Civic Club has agreed
to endorso only ono Portuguese can
didate. Just who tho fortunate man
will bo has not been decided, but
the club meets on August 27th and
at this time tho club will chooso
their man. Tho two candidates in
the field for tho endorsement aro
A. Q. Marcalllno of Makaweli and
John Camara Jerves of Kalaheo.
FRANKIE FERNANDEZ
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Frankio Fernandez of Waipouli,
bookkeeper of Walmca Stables, mot
with an accident opposite the Ko
alia Catholic church on Sunday
morning that might have turned out
to bo more 'serious than it actually
was.
Frank came out of the church and
started to crank his Ford, which
started beforo he could got in. See
ing that his sister-in-law, Daisy Ra
poza was on tho car, Frank jumped
on to try and stop It, but Miss Ra
poza jumped off. The car was too
near the brink of tho cut to be
stopped however, and tho driver and
car pitched into tho railroad cut,
which was about 15 feet deep, land
ing head-first. Frank was extricated
by others who were present and -it
was found that he had escaped with
only some bruises on his loft leg.
The car, however, was damaged
considerably, and had to bo towed
to Nnwiliwill for repairs.

nomination to tho Houso of Repre
sentatives at the coming primaries.
It is stated that ono of these ladies
will bo from tho east side and the

land. If this Is true, it will give some
of the candidates of tho sterner sex
something to sit up nights and
think about, as tho ladles will cer
tainly pull strong for their sisters.

Three Indictments are upon statu
tory offenses, three for assault with
a deadly weapon, two for first de
gree burglary and ono for embezzle
ment. James E. Ward, of Honolulu, Time
teo Aglabolb, a Filipino, and another
Filipino named Tomas, are all charg
ed with statutory offenses. Ward was
committed to the Lihue court last
month, while Aglabolb was commit
ted from Koloa last April and Tomas
was committed by the Kawaihau
court yesterday.
All three men charged with assault
with deadly weapon aro Filipinos. Ro
mam Tanganag was committed from
Waimea, the alleged offense having
been committed last month. Allen PI
layo,' who is also charged with the
same offense was committed from
Waimea as well. Tho offense with

LEGION TO STAGE
VAUDEVILLE SHOW
IN SEPTEMBER
Tho amusement committee of the
local post of the American Legion
has been rather dormant since the
Oriental ball and pageant staged
last April, now announces that It
is about to stago a vaudevlllo show
during the mouth of September.
There Is no doubt that tho Orlontal
ball and pageant was a distinct ar
tistic and social success but unfor
tunately it was not a financial suc
cess. This almost broko the thrifty
Scotch soul of Jim Corstorphino who
watches over the Legion finances
and he 'has issued an ultimatum to
the amusement committee that there
must lie no more financial, failures,
hence the quietness of the commit
tees during the past few months.
The committco has a wealth of
material from which to pick Its
acts for the show and at present
aro busy weeding out the material
that thoy cannot uso.
Several novelty numbers, which
according to tho committee, would
have very little trouble getting on
tho Orphoum circuit, will bo on tho
program and tho complete program
will bo announced shortly.

tion of tho post to spend it on tho

HUNTING PARTY
MAKES SAMPAN TRIP
UP NA PALI COAST
A party made up of Norman Hinds,
Mortimer, Percy and William Lyd
gato, Will Moragno, Richard Rice,
Bob Mott-Smith, Tom Morgan ami
Charles Fern, made a trip along tho
Na Pali coast last week in a sam
pan. The dny was ideal for the trip
the sea being exceedingly calm. The
party started from Haena at day
break and cruised as far as Milo
Hi, and turned back to Nulolo flats.
Here a stop was made and some of
tlio party fished while others in
vestigated tho rope ladder lately
put in place at Nulolo by tho Yale
exploring party. From here thoy
pulled up nnciior and cruised to Ho
nopu whore all hands put ashore
for kaukau under tho Ilonopu arch.
Part of the party then climbed up
the cliff into the valley to hunt
goats where they wore able to bag
several. Tlio rest of the party spent
their time either fishing or swim
ming. After the return of tho hunting
party tlio start for homo was made
and as a heavy wind had picked up,
the trip homo was considerably
roifghor than tho morning trip.
The day for the trip could not
havo been finer if it had been or
dered and there is no doubt that
If this sort of weather wore more
general that the trip would be ono
of tho most popular in the islands.
It was possible last Saturday to
land at nny valley along tho coast
oven a landing nt the rocky shores
of Nulolo valley could havo been
mado with case.
Unfortunately this condition is
raro, ns most of tho year heavy
swells and surf aro prevalent, along
this shoro making landing at tho
valleys exceedingly difficult.
