> HONOLULU (AP) -- No posters bear his name, no TV ads show his
>face. In fact, nobody has seen Republican congressional candidate
>Robert Garner since before he won the party primary last month.
> Private detectives hired by the party learned Garner's telephone
>number and address are invalid, and he has no credit history.
> ``We believe Mr. Garner is alive and well,'' state GOP Chairman
>Jarred Jossem said Sunday. ``We leave it to him to run his own
>campaign. He's what you would call an extremely independent
>Republican.''
> The GOP's investigators interviewed the 50 people who signed
>Garner's candidacy petition. Some said he may be living on a boat,
>and none believed he was in danger. Nobody has reported him missing
>to police.
> Garner, 50, a former high school math teacher who once advocated
>legalizing marijuana, is considered a longshot against Democratic
>incumbent Patsy Mink. He surprised many people when he captured
>almost 9,000 votes to defeat two opponents in the Sept. 17 primary.
>None of the three had advertised.
> ``We're as mystified as any one of you are'' about how he won,
>said Jane Tatibouet, who's in charge of recruitment and training
>for state Republicans. ``Maybe it was because his name was the
>first on the ballot.''
> Garner was a Democrat before joining the state Republican Party
>in July with a hand-delivered membership application card on which
>he wrote that President Clinton ``and his clones ... are destroying
>America.''
> In 1990, Garner finished a distant third in the Democratic
>gubernatorial primary with 0.04 percent of the vote.
> B.G. Greenwell, the state GOP's second vice chairman, said he's
>willing to help Garner if he shows up before Election Day.
> ``He did win the Republican primary,'' Greenwell said. ``All we
>want to do is to help him drive a stake through Patsy Mink's
>heart.''
