HOME RULE
CIRCULAR
Proposes Big Campaign
Against Governor
Dole.

Home Rulers have opened their cam
paign for the election in November Dy
a general attack upon Governor Dole
and President Roosevelt. Yesterday
thousands of circulars were sent out
by Emmeluth, Kaianianaole and ka-
nuba, as a committee on organization,
calling upon the Home Rulers TO rally
to new standard.
The circular is sent TO not only Home
Rulers. but all opponents of Governor
Dole whom il is hoped to enlist in the
cause of the Home Rulers. In sub
stance the circular is as follows: 8
The endorsement of Governor Dole
by the President of the United States
closes the first chapter of the contro-
yersy that has been going on since the
first Legislature of the Territory be-
gan. This conflict of public interests
and freedom is something that comes
| in the history of all governments.
| The second chapter of this manifes-
| tation is what Immediately followed
after the Presidents endorsement OF
Mr. Dole. and which took place on
April IS The Governor was summon
ed before the Committee of the House
| on Territories SIT Washington, and on
that occasion he said: There are GER
| tain things in the Organic Act which
would make the people of Hawaii nap
by if changed.
He also said that he had no otner
changes to offer, in answer to the
questions asked by the committee, but,
said he. THE franchise should be re-
stricted so as to make the restriction
| extend beyond the Asiatics.
This is where he let the cat out of
the bag and placed himself in posi-
| ton, in the estimation of the Hawaiian
people. which would leave no doubt In
their minds as to his opinion.
These subjects placed before us are
clear and comprehensive. On one side
| the oligarchy with It's limited support
ers. hacked by the rich of the TERRITORY
and supporting the Governor in his ad-
minfstration against the wishes of the
people in their desire to frame their
own destiny; on the other, the great
ma iority of the voters who are ready
and anxious to forge ahead ana TO Sc
cure the rights and privileges of gooo
citizenship which has come to us
through the changes which nave Cd
tanned during the past two years
There IS only one road TO success
when II is a question OF the majority
after the stand which has been taken
by President Roosevelt. We must MI
every seat in the Senate in the coming
no less than two-thirds in the lower
house.
Those who are to be elected must
stand firmly and without fear on the
principles which we hope VIII be IN
corDorated In such laws as will bring
to the Territory of Hawaii the true I'M
Outstanding of American government.
Therefore since we are on the side
of the majority in the matter OF the
first Legislature of this Territory, ev-
cry member of this executive commit
tee for some time past has known that
concerted action against Dole's die
tates in this Territory must lead to the
one idea of placing this party where
immediate support can be had from
every precinct in every district.
Things relating to municipal and
fcounty government should be pushed
ahead from now o. until the day of
election.
throughout the isIands-an opinion
which we hope those of other parties
will sha-e-is the establishment of
county and municipal government in
every island of the group.
The committee of organization VIII
| give notice when precinct meetings are
| to be held, and it is hoped that all those
who oppose Dole will join in the COM
mon issue. Let us put aside all per-
sonal anislosity while we are taking up
| the common cause. and let us establish
| a government that is truly for the peo-
pie, of the people and by the people.
| Watch out for the advertisements of
meetings in your precinct and come
and register yourselves on the side OF
| representative government.
