poLB-THURSToN CAMPAIGN OF
MALICE.


blasts from the official organs such as
have not been heard since the days OF
the Humphreys fight. The newspaper
organs which speak for Governor Dole
and his small collection OF friends |
state that the only man who has a !
right to be heard on the methods OF
is the man with barrel
or as the Advertiser puts 1t the man
or men who bought up the Republican
party by putting up the coin for the
last campaign. According to the Dole
organs the American citizens Of COM
paratively small substance but who
are more dependent than any OF the
purse proud politicians upon a proper
" administered government have no
right to a hearing; they are indeed the
yassals whose voice Is not supposed TO
be heard and II heard should be drown
ed by flood of villifcation and mud
singing attacks from the faction
which seems to think its right to reign
over majority is on the order Of the
divine right of kings.
tel mo line say Nll' sNN''i NAs'' -
the organ Of Thurston and the organ
of Dole.
Get in line for what?
TO defeat the aim Of the President in
securing political peace in this Ter
ritory.
That's what the blackmail brigade
behind Thurston is called on TO do for
the Governor and his organ. Thurston
prefers TO spend his time villifying the
Hawaiian-American population, STIR
ring up race prejudice and blockading
the public business of the Territory as
IL has been blockaded for the last year.
Governor Dole has proved that he
either cant or won't do anything with
the representatives of the electorate.
The President demands and the people
of the Territory demand that man
shall be put In office who can and will
work with and for the electorate. The
cry against Parker does not come
! from the business community. II Is
solely from the Thurston ring that
misrepresents the business men.
The best thing Mr.. Dole can do or
the receipt of the diplomatic Letter
which Is said to be on its way is tt
quietly accept the request of the Presi
dent. The experience Of New Yorl
custom officials not without muci
heavy financial backing Is an example
to Mr.. Dole and his friends that wheI
the President makes up his mind, th'
change is made. Appraiser Wakemal
was never charged with dishonesty, h
was n constant source OF trouble. III
made way for a man of peace.
As to Mr.. RoOsevelts ignorance o
the conditions here, was 1t not part
OF returning business men who shor
time ago were surprised at the knowl
edge President Roosevelt had of thes
Islands and the general conditions. d
not these people know that the Presi
dent has been investigating the condi
, lions here through his own private an
secret sources upon which he will pu
more positive reliance than any dele
CATION which the Advertiser might con
CoCt?
The suggestion is made that Cover
nor Dole himself visit Washington
: This is a most commendable propose
= ton. He ought to take the oppOrtunit
E offered to explain his own enigmatt
policy viewed from American stan
dards, and also explain what his orga
} means when 1t asserts that the powe
of wealth Is virtue and there Is no VII
% tue without wealth.
As a matter of fact Thurston's Al
G vertiser does not represent the wealt
O and conservatism of this communit
e Il does represent some men of wealt
i but they are men who are not liber
4 in any sense; they stand for Puritan
4 cal bigotry and policy Of rule or rui
e They endeavor to prove their own vi
}, tue by a wholesale condemnation al
. attempted oppression Of any and a
however honest or intelligent, WI
may differ with their opinions of ju
tice and fair dealing they do not al
never have fulfilled any OF the iiea
=. for which Roosevelt has stood in h
l. public life.
The men of wealth and substan
l. together with all the intelligent vote
n OF this Territory supported Col. Pa
Il ker heartily during the campaign +
g the election of a Delegate to Congres
They extolled his virtues and prais
10 his high standing as citizen and h
capacity as man in public life. BY VIII
g Jesultical principle does a section
these Parker voters now, by malicio
innuendo heap upon Parker all {
ii abuse to which they can lay the
t, tongue and insinuate with their pen'
lf The men now attacking Parker a
is writing themselves malicious liars, al
90 they are giving President RooseT'
an exhibition of their motives viii
will not be without its effect.
