Harvard Hears News When He Presents a Candidate for Class Baby

Jack Desha of Hilo and Harvard, famed as a football and baseball player, is a benedict. Further than this, he entered the ranks of married men two years ago by way of an elopement with the daughter of his landlord and was married on New Year’s Day, 1910. It may also be stated that Jack Desha has been a proud father since December 11, 1910, when Evelyn C. M. Desha came into the world.

Friends of Jack Desha in the Hawaiian Islands need not feel disappointed or grieved at the fact that the young athlete failed to confide in them, for it appears that the members of his own class at Harvard, that of 1912, knew nothing about it until Desha as a candidate for the class baby, to which position she was at once elected by the class.

GABRIEL K. KEAWEHAKU PASSES AWAY.

Gabriel K. Keawehaku.

After being ill for the past many months, Gabriel K. Keawehaku left this life at 9 a. m. on the 4th of this month, just outside of his home in Kaimuki, and in the afternoon of the following 5th, his remains were put to rest at the Kaimuki cemetery.

He was given birth to by his parents, Keawehaku (m) and Olaola (f), on the 31st of the month of May, 1867, here in Honolulu, and when he grew weary of this life, he was 54 years old, plus 7 months and 4 days.

He was educated in Honolulu nei during his childhood; he was a kamaaina of this town, performing many jobs, and it was the illness that came upon him that made him give up his different jobs.

He first was employed in his youth in the Metropolitan Meat Market of Waller [Wala] and company. During the monarchy, he lived with King Kalakaua, in the king’s private guards for six years. He served as the customs inspector when the government was transferred under America, being sent to Hilo, and he was customs inspector there for five years. Continue reading →

ALAPAKAI SMITH [ALAPAKI SMITH]

SON OF HENRY SMITH, FOR AUDITOR [LUNAHOOIA]

An expert in all types of books; he can care for all the finances of the county being that this is the office which watches over all the money of the county. He is conscientious in all ways and is fearful of dishonesty.

I worked with the American Factors Company for a number of years, in the tax department for a number of years, and a number of years doing the books for banks from the side of the government, and that is what I am currently doing; therefore I am fully capable in all aspects. Lift up this Hawaiian youth for the pride of the Hawaiian people.

[I think the inscription on the picture reads: “Announcing my candidacy for the Republican nomination for Auditor. Alapaki Smith.” And there is “Post” written in another hand on the right side.]

HON. H. L. HOLSTEIN

REPRESENTATIVE

You, my fellow makaainana, will perhaps not fault the many years which I was in the revered walls of the house of representatives as one of the tireless servants striving to make laws for our well-being.

I continuously fought without giving up for our good, and we can perhaps say, O My fellow citizens, that our toil during those years of perseverance against the rain and cold was all worth it.

Because of those long years that I lived as a public servant in our legislature, I am fully capable of not being offended by anyone.

Therefore, I ask you, all of my fellow makaainana of Maui, the island famed for the Lokelani flower, to remember a ballot for me on election day, and should I be victorious, then it will be a victory for all of us, and I will carry out all my duties for the good of the people using all my abilities, justly, and with patience.

JOHN J. PAVAO

Mayoral Candidate for the County
of Honolulu

WHO IS YOUR MAYOR

There are three of us running as Republicans. One of us is attached to sugar, and the sugar owners will ever more be his boss; another of us is in a higher class than us, and those of that class will be his boss should he win; as for me, I am of your class, and all of you will forever be my boss; and so who will you choose this coming October 6th? Will it be those out of your class, or will you select the one from your class?

I have faith and confidence that you and all of those of our class will choose me as a MOSES who will deliver this lahui from the burdens of Egypt, and our homeland, beloved Hawaii will come into MILK AND HONEY. Beloved is the land of our birth along with her ridges and rivers, and above all, my fellow makaainana who were troubled all these many past years. My victory will be a victory for us all; their victory will perhaps be our downfall. Don’t forget to mark my name so that I become a MOSES for us all. We are weak, but by standing together, we will be victorious; therefore all ohana work together and vote for J. J. PAVAO as your candidate for mayor.
