ALFRED U. ALOHIKEA CHOSEN

Because of the selection by the voters of the island of Niihau, 42 votes for Alohikea, therefore he was selected and Leslie Nakashima lost.

Before the number of Niihau votes were received, Nakashima lead by 20 votes over Alohikea, but when Alohikea received the 42 votes at Niihau, and no votes for Nakashima on Niihau, therefore Alohikea had 22 more votes than Nakashima. Knowing how to sing attracts ballots. Candidates need to learn to sing. The candidates let other do their singing; not so for that youth, Alohikea.

TWO HAWAIIAN SELECTED FOR THEIR FINE VOICES

WILLIAM KAHELE.  ALFRED ALOHIKEA.

From amongst many Hawaiian youths who went to show the quality of their singing voices, chosen  were William Kahele and Alfred Alohikea for them to study under Professor Wanrell.

William Kahele was selected for quality of his tenor voice, and Alfred Alohikea for his reverberating bass [leo kane].

They were picked by a committee, that being Mrs. R. Allen, Arthur Wall and Raymond C. Brown, who tested all of the voices who put in the application to become students under the tutelage of Professor Wanrell, and the decision of the committee was the choosing of those Hawaiian boys.
