EDUCATION Born in the Maui township of Paliuli in the Kingdom Of Hawaiʻi , Baldwin was educated in Honolulu at Punahou School . His parents sent him to Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts from which he graduated in 1889 . In 1894 , Baldwin obtained a degree at the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology and returned to Honolulu to become a Sugarcane Plantation owner. Sugarcane production propped by increasing trade with the United States made Baldwin a wealthy man. POLITICS Baldwin entered local politics in 1931 when he began his service in the Hawaiʻi Territorial Senate . He was Senator until 1921 when he was called to higher office to fulfill the unexpired term of Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole in Washington, DC . Kalanianaʻole had died and Baldwin was elected to fill the vacancy for Congressional Delegate from March 25 , 1922 to March 3 , 1923 .

Baldwin emerged from retirement to serve in the Hawaiʻi Territorial House Of Representatives in 1933 .
