LIHUE, KAUAI, TERRITORY OF HAWAII, TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1922 SUBSCRIPTION RATES, $2.50 PER YEAR 5 CENTS PER COPY Many Candidates for Lower House POLITICS WILL BEGIN TO SEETHE WHEN ALL PAPERS ARE FILED Tho political pot which has boon BlmmerinK or late showed signs of boiling over last week and should really break out with an erruption this week. Tho raco for the lower house begins to assume gigantic proportions and If many more can didates announce their desire to sit in the legislature they are liablo lo ho more candidates for office than there aro voters. S. W. Mehcula has done an "off again on again" and Is back In the race after announcing his withdraw al. Just what Is tho reason for his change of front is not known, but some of tho other candidates de clare that owing to tho fact that ho has been endorsed by tho Hawaiian Civic Club, ho has been prevailed upon to' run so as not to open up tho Issue again In tho club about endorsing another candidate. John Camara Jerves won the en dorsement of tho Portuguese Civic Club last Sunday at tho convention that was held at Koloa. lie won ov er his opponent, A. Q. Marcallino of Makaweli by a matter of ten votes. One local politician exprjssed the Idea that the club might have had a stronger candidate in Marcallino ow ing to tho fact that he Is hotter known over tho island among all classes, than Jerves, who, although ho may be tho stronger candidate among the Portuguese, would not have the following nmong tl.e other races that Marcallino would. The Hawaiian Civic Club has agreed to endorse tho candidate that the Por tuguese Civic Club selected, but just how far theso endorsements will go in the primaries remains to be seen Howard C. Young and James Wer ner have been added to tho list of candidates for the lower house. Young is a Wailua homesteader, while James Werner is the road lima in the Kawalhau district and has al ready served a term in (he legislat uro. rtumor reports that with the re entry of Mchcula into the race that Werner may withdraw as ho was counting on the support of the Ha waiian Civic Club in his campaign. Matters are dormant In the raco for the senatorial toga as thero has been no new developments during the past week. Hoopil's strength re- mains an unknown quantity with all local political prophets and no gauge can be made on what sort of a raco ho will make. Norman Lyman, candidate for the Republican nomination is now on Kauai in tho Interests of his cam paign and is busy canvassing tho Is land and renewing old acquaintances Ho has carried his campaign to all parts of tho island and has made not a few friends by his straight forward manner of handling the Is sues.' Bill Jarrctt, candidate for tho Dem ocratic nomination is also on the island and although ho is not de livering any speeches during his stay, lie Is busy lining up local Dem ocrats in a quiet and efficient man ner. Jarrett realizes that ho has a worthy too In Dr. Haytnond for tho nomination, but ho also realizes that tho big battle will como in Novem ber when ho will oppose the Repub lican nominee if ho Is nominated, and Is working along theso lines. Dr. Rayond of Maui, tho other candidate for tho Democratic nomin ation will arrive next Tuesday morn ing to campaign Kauai for tho nom ination. Ho will speak at tho prin cipal points on tho Island. His pro gram will bo announced next week. M. 0. Santos of tho Kapaa homo steads, is managing Raymond's cam paign on Kauai. John Hoopalo announced that ho Is a camlldato for tho lower house which Is another entry into an al ready crowded field. John's an nouncement sets at rest all rumors In regard to any desiro on his part to sit in the seuato. Mrs. Sam. Kollinol remains tho J only woman candidate In tho field and from all indications she Is go ing to glvo tho men a race for tho nomination.
