HAWAIIAN NAMES OUT AT ELECTION Native Langnage Printed Beside the English Honolulu, Nov. 19—While Eng- lish—of a kind, at least—has re- placed Hawaiian as the official language in the territory of Hawaii, election time in the islands always sees a bringing out and dusting off of Hawalian names. The reason is that the law pro- vides for (he printing of the Hawaii- an names of individuals on the bal- | Iots, along with their “haole” (cau- casian) names. Voters of Hawaiian blood still conotrol the local elec- tions and they take an intense Inter- “st in politics. Twelve Letter Alphabet The Hawailan names range from transliterations of haole names to lescription of person and profession. When Hawafian was the language most spoken, the Hawaiian names were necessary, for the Hawaiian language contains but twelve letters: the vowels a, e i, 0, u, and the con-| somants, h, k. L, m, n, p, and w. Lvery vowel is pronounced, and the accent usually is placed on the next to the last syllable. Thus, in the recent election here, Charles Rose appeared on the ballot with “Kale Loke' '(Ka-lay Lo-kay) immediately beneath his ‘“haole” . James Bicknell also appeared mo (the equivalent of “Jim") ames Follow Professions Other Hawaiian names on the bal- lot were descriptive. Dr. Dal Yen Chang appeared as Kauka Huki Niho, literally “doctor pull tooth.” He is a dentist. Lircoln McCandles was Linakona Eliwal, or “Lincoln the well driller.” Yew Char was Keiki Paikil, the young man who takes pictures. Robert Shingle's last name was translated, appearing “Pilihale,” or | thatchgrass, on the ballot. David Lloyd Conkling had the Hawailan name “Haole Poupou,” which trans- lated means “the short fat white man.” Conkling is not over tall, hence the name. Candidates with real Hawallan middle names, given them by their own parents, feature them in big letters in thelr political advertising. Bismarck’s Best Cigar One He Never Smoked | Berlin, Nov. 19.—/—*"The cigar I never smoked was the one that tasted best,” was Prince Bismarck’s invariable reply in his later years to the question of what brand he most esteemed. Norris Busch, in his book on the life of the Iron Chancellor, recalls this enigmatic reply and the ex- planation take from an incident Bis- marck himself related after the Bat. tle of Koeniggraetz in the Austro- Prussian war of 1866. “I had only one cigar in my pocket and was cherighing its smoke like a miser,” said Bismarck. “But I miscalculated, for lying helpless nearby I saw a wounded dragoon | begging for refreshment.
