which helped to elect the Prince on
Maui shows that it was the man rath-

other words the impression which
Prince Kuhio made on the people OF
Maui had for its strongest element, a
conviction that the Prince is an honest

That, rather than his princely blood,

was not entirely the man that elected

to his being an alii, which means a

is known to be for them at all times
