matters OF State, and also advising him
of the fact that the majority in the
Senate and in the House of Represen-
tatiVes were with the Home Rule par
ty, and that 1t was proper for him, the
: executive, and the Legislature or law
makers TO come together and work in
harmony in bringing about the admin
iStration of the government of this
Territory for the best interests of the
Lahui, and for the progress and pros
perity OF the country. His reply to the
two Senators was a refusal to be adj
Vised by them, and he further stated
that he intended to carry on the affairs
of the administration according to his
own views and ideas; and that he new
er would accept any words of advice
from the Home Rulers to the end of
the session.
This power on the side of the Lahui,
which sought to aid him. but, although
within his vested rights, it was turned
aside. the Governor thus was only
! widening the breach between himself
. and those OF the Lahui.
Another matter also came up in the
appointment OF government officials.
heads of departments. as provided by
the organic act of the Territory. by
and with the advice and consent of the
Senate, he shall appoint" although
he did not name those which were ad-
vised by the Home Rulers would be
carried out, but he took matters in his
own hands and acted according to his
own views and judgment. as was done
with numerous other matters OF this
nature.
Turning to Hno. the Home Rula
says:
We noticed in the Evening Bulletin
the names of Senator ]. T. Brown, of
Hilo, and Representative w. b. Mai
lima and James Lewis, of the same
place, signers of a petition supporting
and approving the name of Circuit
Judge Little as Dole's successor for
Governor; and that the said petition
was sent to other Senators and Rep
resentatives of the Home Rule party in
that district to sign, but they strongly
refused to support any such petition.
and considered that it was an under
handed and backbiting piece of bust
ness, and also unbecoming the dignity
of the party and policy of the Home
Rulers.
The main objects and purposes men
toned in the said petition are in di-
rect conflict with the policy and plat
form adopted by the party of the La
hui. which Brown and Nailima well
know.
The petition was sent to President |
Roosevelt. and also copies to both |
Houses of Congress.
The souls of these two Hawaiians |
are strange, indeed, as also their |
actions in this matter, but they will |
be remembered by the Lahui in flu |
ture. They may outlive and escape
the force of the laws if they appear
before Little. You scratch my back
and l VIII do likewise to you"
They are. not illiterate nor ignorant
but the contrary; they are
men of standing. of educat ton and full
of learning and knowledge If they had
been men so ignorant unable to know
right from wrong. there might have
been some cause for excuse and for
giveness, but they will be left for the
Lahui and the voters to weigh and to
judge in the near future. 1t is too
