A MELE FOR WILLIAM HEEN.

Hoohie ka iini nou e Heen,
Loio kaulana a o ke Kalana.
Ua ike e ka lehulehu apau,
Ko naauao piha noeau.
Ua kohu pono oe ke noho mai,
[Unclear passage] ekahi ke ike aku.
Nou ia lei e lei mau ai,
I ka la 6 [?] a o Novemaba.
Ke Akua kahikolu kou kokua,
A puka loa oe a lanakila.
Haina ia mai ana ka puana,
No Wiliama Heen no he inoa.

[The dignified is the desire for you O Heen
Famous attorney of the County
All are aware
Of your knowledge filled with wisdom
[Unclear passage] is foremost to see
On the 6th [?] of November.
The Trinity is your aid,
And you will win the election.
Let the story be told,
The name song of Wiliama Heen.]

[This is just another of the many political mele for William Haehae Heen. This post was inspired by a post earlier this week by Nanea Armstrong-Wassel!]

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.

GREW WEARY

Wallace K. Naope

In the evening of this past Friday, Wallace Kuakapu Naope grew weary of this world after being taken to the Hilo Memorial Hospital [Halemai Hoomanao o Hilo] after contracting Pneumonia [Numonia]. It was but a few hours after he was taken to the hospital that he passed away.

With his passing, lost is one of the icons in politics. He ran for the position of senator in the Democratic party a number of times, but he lost and the victory of the other candidates for senator was difficult and only by a slim margin.

Wallace Kuakapu Naope was born in South Kona, and was educated at Lahainaluna School. After leaving the school, he came to live in Hilo nei with his older brother Harry K. Naope who died earlier a little over a year ago, who was the great one amongst the choir leaders of all the choirs across the Archipelago. Continue reading →

TO JOSEPH KALANA

Mr. Editor: Please give me a column in the fearless spokesmen of the lahui.

I am very regretful should you be a true Hawaiian, being that I always see in our newspapers of the mother tongue you announcing to the far and wide of the Archipelago, “Let Us be Republican.”

Do you not know the one who overthrew the monarchy? Do you not know the “head” of those who overthrew the government? Do you not know the desire of the people you support to obliterate us Hawaiians, and that this is verified from Governor Dole’s very own mouth? Do you not know the great desire of the Republicans to limit our voting power which was corroborated by the Governor in Boston by him saying: “We demand that the whites be supported and the native Hawaiians put down.’ ‘Ke kauoha nei makou e kakooia ka poe keokeo a e kulai a kuaia na kanaka Hawaii ilalo.” Continue reading →
