O'Connor said he "probably will run for something" in the future but will have to weigh carefully the amount of time required by politics. John Carroll Republican John S. Carroll, 37, an attorney and pilot, was defeated in his attempt to unseat one of the two Democratic incumbents in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Like several other candi dates, he got a late start and now sees the necessity for months of planning and organization. Carroll has indicated that he may take another crack at the Congressional race in 1968. If so, he undoubtedly will lay some detailed groundwork. Other candidates, who were successful in their first political races, included: Andrew Poepoe, 8th Representative District: Stuart Ho and George K. Noguchi, 15th; and Cliff Krueger and Wilfred Soares.

For instance, his first campaign posters proved ineffective. He took all of them down and designed another which was bigger and brighter with a shamrock.

A political novice has an abundance of enthusiasm in his camp but often little background in campaigning, O'Connor pointed out. "Then, too, I'm a practic ITi I i i i i rr 7h for VMM eowow Dennis E.

If the owner agreed to place one in his window, he received a thank-you letter. Wong can cite only one mistake, and he said it was a "real lesson" in the campaign. "We took great pains with the primary. We geared our whole campaign for this and were not prepared for the general," he said. "A few things back fired until we got organized again." He said he was amazed at the oualitv and quantity of IROAfllOTOi Dr.

George H. Mills of campaigning throughout the State. "They are more cognizant of what is going on in the community than I realized," he said. concern about such things as the cost of living and taxes is very sincere." Dr. Mills said he has "no idea" at this point whether he will seek political office again but does not rule out a future candidacy.

He is specific, however, in wanting to urge more doctors, businessmen, educators and others in running for public office to get a broadening of ideas in government. "I highly recommend the experience. It is fantastic," Dr. Mills said. Tennyson Lum Tennyson Lum, represent- Tennyson K.

W. Lum ative-elect who personally called door-to-door at thousands of homes, said he was rudely treated only twice. Once a resident in Oahu's 17th District slammed the door on Lum, a Republican. Another time a housewife ripped up his brochure in front of him and said over and over: "I'm a Democrat I'm a Democrat I'm a Democrat." Republican Tennyson Lum is a 25-year-old insurance salesman and former teacher who is the youngest man ever to be elected to the State House of Representatives. He won a seat from the 17th District.

"I started early." Lum said when asked his opinion of the key factor in a remarkably successful campaign.

Wong astic, hard working organization which saturated the district with three different brochures and as many as four house calls. Lum's bumper stickers appeared last June.

A letter of introduction went out to approximately 14,000 people in the Kaimuki-Koko Head district. Lum's biggest problem was scheduling time and evaluating activities as to their vote potential, Lum said. "If I had it to do over again. I would spend more time out in the field. I wish I could have gotten to another 3,000 homes," Lum said.

Francis Wong One of the most effective and well calculated campaigns was conducted by Democrat Francis A. Wong in Oahu's Leeward-Aiea 10th District. In his first try for office, Wong led the field in both the primary and general election. He was 1,500 votes ahead of the closest incumbent on November 8. His campaign paralleled a well planned battlefield offensive, and it paid off.

Wong and his co-workers attribute their success to a formula which they nicknamed the three P's proper prior planning. The 30-year-old attorney sat down with his committee as early as May to map the strategy for his election to the House of Representatives. "We tried to improve on old approaches," Wong said. They also weren't afraid to try the new. In Nanakuli where the traditional coffee hour was ineffective, the Wong campaign sponsored a free movie and got a turnout of more than 400 people.

Brochures were not just dumped in the mailbox by the thousands. A brochure was mailed on Tuesday, for example, to a certain household and followed up by a personal call on Saturday. Campaign workers telephoned about 8.000 registered voters in the district asking if they needed a ride to the polls. Beginning last June Wong's wife began sending a letter to every mother who gave birth in the 10th District. "This got good response." he said.

The Wong workers put together a booklet, "Let's Have a Successful Coffee Hour," to provide tips for ModH YHS15 Deluxe in appearance deluxe in perform-once. Fost forward control. Continuous tone control. Remote mike switch. Big 4" oval speaker.

Rather, it is the result of a smooth running organization, advance groundwork, endless hours of hard work and ingenuity. "I never realized how much time and work a person has to put into a campaign," said unsuccessful House candidate Dennis O'Connor. "I was amazed." Political first-timers are at a decided disadvantage when they go up against incumbents who have machines already established. Yet, some carried off their campaigns with remarkable professional polish.

Others learned to do a few things differently next time. One thing they agreed upon. Meeting Hawaii's people was generally enriching, and this factor probably was the most satisfying part of their campaign. Dr. George Mills Dr.

George H. Mills, of course, was the political novice catapulted into the hottest race in State politics as Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Mills and his running mate Randolph A.

"He was a statesman," Wong said.

Dennis O'Connor Dennis O'Connor is a 36-year-old attorney who made a bid for a seat from Oahu's heavily Republican 17th District. He is a Democrat. O'Connor was defeated but substantially narrowed the margin between Democrats and the G.O.P. in this district. "No Democrat had ever gotten more than 4.500 votes there." O'Connor said.

He polled 7.153 votes. O'Connor termed himself a "tail-end Charlie" since he didn't file his nomination papers until the day of the closing deadline. "It's just impossible if you get a iate start," he said.
