John William Kalua
In support of the Government party candidates, the king made two electioneering trips to Maui and Hawaii. He was especially anxious to defeat the three leading native candidates on the Independent ticket, Joseph Nawahi, G. W. Pilipo, and J. W. Kalua; and he brought to bear upon the voters his personal influence, the weight of his high position, and other persuasive arguments. It was reliably reported that "all Gov't employes, Doctors, school teachers, etc., were warned that they must support the Govt ticket."
 * ... that King Kalākaua electioneered during the 1886 Hawaiian elections by visiting the districts of politicians J. W. Kalua, G. W. Pilipō and J. Nāwahī, campaigning against them?
