the sad straits 10 which the Dole fol
lowing IS forced TO maintain itself
First. the article published il de
tense of Dole says the Republican
party has two factions; -ofe which
comprises the men who overturned
the monarchy and made q long fight
/ for annexation and OF which Governor
Dole is the natural leader: and one
led by political manipulatOrs. some
Of whom came here as carpetbaggers
and such former Royalists as believe
that IL they control the machinery OF
the Republican party they can satisfy
their grudges against Dole annsxa-
tionists and incidentally hold the
Offices
The fact is that the first and strong
est opposition TO Governor Dole came
from and still exists in the ranks and
hIe of the annexation party. This op-
position was not al the outset bitter.
but ii has come TO be such on account
OF the attacks made by Mr.. Dole's In
Inmates. His opponents have been
charged with being manipulators and
corruptionists Immediately their opin
'ons became at variance with the
CLIQUE OF which Mr.. Dole is the accept
ed leader. The first defeat suffered
by the Dole contingent was in the
party primaries. Again the American
element of the party was charged
with being corruptionists and mani
9ulators OF the Royalist element. 1t
IS matter of record that one OF the
workers in the party primaries for
the Dole faction. afterward became a
worker and spoke for the Home Rule
Or Wilcox party No such instance
ean be cited against the American
party-Mr. Dcle's opponents.

papers have been subsidized to carry
on the campaign against Dole. This is
IN absolute untruth. Not single fact
can be brought forward to support it.
AS regards the existence OF stock
ade of prost 'tutes at Iwilei the Adyer-
tiser says that the Governor put an
end to government control of this
place ''as soon as 1t appeared that the
Edmunds law made it impossible for
the Territory TO exercise any control
vice"
The Governor of the Territory did
not act when two Territorial and one
Federal Grand Juries were called on
to investigate the place. These in
vestigations proved the existence of
slavery in the place, also government
supervision. The Federal Judge call
ed attention to the Edmunds law.
Even then it did not appear to the
Governor that the Edmunds law

TO exercise any control of vice" Not
until Washington authorities made a
move did the Executive department
DO anything to put a stop to this pest
hole of social horror The place was
ludliF ClCSEu Ul al AoC0NA
from the First Circuit Court by Judge
George d. Gear. who by the way is not
-eckoned by the Dole following as one
II the elect" Since then govern
ment supervision of vice has ceased.
but the record of the past speaks for
itself.
The Dole government did not move
TO put a stop to this violation of
American law, and violation of every
law OF social virtue till it was forced
to do It..
The chief mover against the Dole
government II not Abram S. Humph |
reys. Mr. Humphreys before elsva-
ton to the bench was consistent |
worker with those who seek to make |
he Territory of Hawaii an Ameri
an Territory-not merely in name, |
to protect the schemes and |
principles of an oligarchy. When ele-
rated to the bench Humphreys took |
ID his duties as a loyal American.
Judge Humphreys refused to allow in
ractions OF American law to pass I'M
ioticed: he refused to follow out the
I'D Dole idea OF judicial legislation:
lie interpreted American law accord
ng to its obvious intent. Thereby ne
incurred the enHiitv OF the Dole fol-
owing and was subjected to constant
md maliciously bitter attack.
As the Advertiser drew on vague
suspicion and unfair innuendos to
Import It's charges against Humph-
eys so il publishes fiction in defense
t the Dole administration.
