that the people had been foolish enough
to send to Washington a delegate whs
had no influence and who had done
nothing for the Territory. He lauded
Prince Kuhio and said that two years
more of the depression which was due
to Home Rulism would mean destrue-

the Republicans would do everything
for the lepers. He said sugar was the
corner stone of the prosperity of the
country and further that one of the

by untiring effort that the victory could
