Endorsed Governors Action.
The republican members of the legisla-
ture and the members of the central COM
mittee, in secret and joint caucus, have
indorsed the action of Governor Dole, IN
refusing to extend the session Of the legis-
lature, after the adoption of the home rule
resolution of last week, making charges
against the governor, asking for his re-
moval and declaring that he was reSpon-
sble for the failure of the Legislature to
do any considerable amount of business.
The republicans prepared a statement in
reply, which Samuel Parker takes with
him.
The reply states that the home rule party,
having complete control of the legislature,
blocked every effort at substantial legisa-
ton; that bills were SO illOSically put to-
gether that 1t was impossible to do any
thing with them; that the home rule party
was continually hampered with petty jeal-
ousles and that these party chickering's
ca used the president of the senate, himself
a member of the home rule party, to
sign in disgust. The reply states further
that one of the causes of failure of the
members of the home rule party to attain
their objects and which prevented the leg
islature from accomplishing more. was the
insstence by the home rule members upon
the use of the Hawaiian language in the
legislative proceedings. Notwithstanding
the organic act provides that "AH legiSla-
tive proceedings shall be conducted in the
English language" They elected nterpre-
tiers and required Interpretation of all bills,
resolutions motions and debates.
The reply admits lack of harmony be-
tween the Legislature and the governor. but
states that the Legislature did not deal
with the governor in a broad spirit, and
that past influences were permitted to in
terfere with the conduct of the legislature.
Continuing, the reply says:
I'm refusing to extend the session of
the legislature, the governor acted with
the concurrence of the republican members
