Honolulu Record, August 19, 1948, vol. 1 no. 3, p. 1
Two Republican county organizations have indorsed Delegate Joseph R. Farrington's re-election.
The Kauai county committee last week unanimously pledged support to the Delegate and commended him for his fight for statehood and legislation beneficial to the islands
Earlier the Maui county committee indorsed Mr. Farrington.
As Mr. Farrington returned to the city from the special congressional session in Washington, political observers said the feud between Oliver P. Soares, chairman of the GOP central committee for the territory, and the Delegate that had been carried on through the press seemed, on the surface at least, pacified.
But, the same observers added the fight between the two Republican factions is far from finished. They added that the Delegate's hand had been strengthened by the support given him by two Republican county committees.
