the Attorney GeheFaA ooIdhleu MS 4ilAOi-
nation.
His Excellency the Attorney General
said he received his information from the
same source as Mr.. Dole did-down town
on the streets-which was the highest
authority in Honolulu. He would like to
know whether in arguments in the House
statements made during the last campaign
should be attributed 10 persons other than
those who uttered them. Neither the
Cabinet nor any OF its members had given
anv utterarce in the Government organ
or in any other paper. For the purpose of
holding them responsible, statements had
been spread broadcast that they were adj
yocating lottery schemes, $40, 900 900 loan
bills. etc. There was not a particle of
truth in these statements. He could not
help but admire Mr.. Dole for his ability,
but he must protest against him always
bringing in some slHr against the Govern
ment when it was not appropriate. BY
this course he would help his cause for the
next two years as he had helped it in the
past. The result of these same tactics had
been such that in districts where men of
his CAlr Dole's) party had been so strong
formerly that they could not have been
beaten, yet they were all beaten at the last
election.
Mr.. Thurston rose to point of order.
His Excelleney the Attorney General
said he expected his young friend would do
so. 1t had been raining so hard that Mr..
Thurston might be expected to put up his
umbrella So long as Afessrs. Dole and
Thurston INDUCED in diatribes against the
Government he had q right to speak.
Mr.. Dole generally supposed that when
Minister made a public speech on politics
he was representing his associates. If they
felt the Minister of Finance was not rep
resenting them on Maui, they should have
repudiated his statements, and they had
now expressed themselves sufficiently to
show that he had not been talking for
them. The Attorney General had referred
to impressions gathered by him on the
streets that he (Mr. Dolel was the editor
of a local newspaper. lie should hope the
Attorney General would be as frank as he
was, and state the facts as truly as he
would do. He wished to state that some
of the newspapers, whose reporters were
sitting in this House, had limited that some
with newspapers. He himself was not
connected with any paper financially or
hterarily, nor did he know that any OF his
associates of the Opposition were.
Mr.. Kaulukou asked Mr.. Dole if he did
not sustain the relation of great-grand-
father to the "Pae Alma" newspaper.
Mr.. Dole said he held no relationship
with the "Pae Alma" One member of the
Cabinet holds stock in a newspaper and
occasionally assists in writing for it. There
was 20 disgrace in helping to edit paper
so long as it told the truth.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said the con-
Guiding remarks by Mr.. Dole claimed some
attention from him, inasmuch as he spoke
of one member of the Cabinet holding
stock i'll a newspaper, and assisting i'll edi-
torial writing. He ventured to rise be-
cause they were discussing impressions.
There were impressions abroad that the
Minister of Foreign Affairs was SO engaged,
and that he not only held stock, but
assisted editorially in the conduct of GER
tain paper. He begged to inform Mr..
Dole and the honorable Assembly that he
did not hold one dollars worth of stock in
other, and had not ventured to assist edi
torially, or to suggest to any editor what he
should write or publish. 1t was possible
that he might meet an editor in the lobby
or elsewhere and if he were to ask ques-
ton upon any subject on which it was
proper to make communication he (Mr
Gibson) would do so. This did not refer
to any editor in particular, but to all the
gentlemen engaged in newspaper work.
Mr.. Baker made few remarks in Ha-
waiian, which were not interpreted.
Hon. G. Rhodes said that the members
in voting for the raising of salaries were
only forging chains for their own and their
children's necks. Only those salaries rec
commended by the Chief Justice should be
raised. He (the Chief Justice) knew what
he was doing, and the members should
take his advice.
