l Last Saturday a number of the Inde-
pendent Legislative candidates were
! approached by representative Of the
Advertiser and We're asked about the
81 pledge voted down at the Independent
convention, which was as follows:
ITO Whom it May Concern:
/ I'VE do hereby: pledge ourselves to
support the Independent Home Rule
party.
I'VE do hereby declare that we are
not members of the Democratic or the
Republican parties in the Territory of
Hawaii.
I'VE pledge ourselves to support the
platform of the Independent Home Rule
party.
I'VE do hereby pledge ourselves not
to confirm any of the appointments of
Governor Dole in section of the Ter
rtoriaI act
Did you sign the pledge. or do you
intend to keep the same?" was the
question put to all. James X. Kaulia,
one of the leaders, said that he did not
know anything about it until it was
brought before the convention last
Wednesday.
He said he would have had none of
it if it had been brought to his notice
: before that time because he deemed it
a very foolish movement
Others expressed the same view as
Kaulia, and all said that they did not
> know of any pledge before the conyen-
tion.

are very bitter against it. They said:
If that pledge was brought before the
Independent executive council it would
have met its fate at the first announce
ment of it. 1t was kept out of sight,
and only few had hand in it."
When George Markham was asked
what he thought of the pledge he re-
marked that he believed in an equal
show for all. He also said that the
pledge was only meant for the members
outside of his party to sign. James
Quinns was the only name signed to
- the pledge when the reporter of this
paper took it to make copy.
