see President Roosevelt. and it is right
| which many governors avail themselves of.
When President Roosevelt sees and talks
with Gov. Dole. he will find him very diff
ferent man from what the royaiists and
the carpet-baggers have represented him,
and we shall have more sensational
kilograms or disturbance Of our financial
credit"
Down With Monarchists
The Pacific Commercial Advertiser Of
February says:
1T is plain from the dispatches published
elsewhere that desperate attempt is being
made at Washington to deceive President
Roosevelt into the belief that the interests
Of the territory and Of the republican party
require the removal Of Governor Dole and
the appointment of Sam Parker in his
place. The time has come for the respon-
slble people OF HaWaii-the men who the
President will naturally trust to give him
full information about our public affairs.
He has been overrun with eX-monarchists
and job-chasing carpet baggers and by
well-meaning people who have not been
here long enough to know our complex con-
ditions. Get in line. men of substance and
standing, republicans of integrity and zeal
for island welfare! It is time to let the
President know that there are other people
here than monarchists and carpet-bag
gers"
For the Good Of Hawaii.
ut is time that the men who stand for
the solid worth of Hawaii, the men who
represent it's business concerns. the men
who have always guided public affairs here
as Theodore Roosevelt has guided them
elsewhere-it Is time for these men to show
the President that the removal Of Gov.
Dole would be a disaster to the business in
terests of Hawaii for which the republican
party could not free itself from RESPONSE
bility. The fight has been mainly one
sided, because the good government party,
the local Roosevelt republicans, has never
thought for moment that the President
could be deceived about Hawaiian public
concerns.
For Gov. Dole. who risked life and prop
erty to make these islands American while
men who oppose him now. Parker included,
were fighting for decayed and fostering
monarchy, Theodore Roosevelt could have
no other sentiment than admiration and re-
spect. For Dole, the civil service reformer,
the honest and capable administrator the
man OF the loftiest public ideals. the Presi-
dent could but see a leader Of his own type
The President believes in citizens like
George Carter Let him. then. before lis
tening to the worst classes in our island
politics. ask George Carter, and such as he.

The Governorship.
In the matter Of the report that President
Roosevelt has appointed Samuel Parker to
succeed Governor Dole, the Commercial Ad-
vertiser OF February says:
The homo rule press is indulginR in
scarehead announcements Of Governor
Dole'a removal and in lurid bulletins of
how. when and where 1t Is to be done.
Secretary Cooper's doom Is also to be sealed

publicist used to say. What glorious oppor-
tunitles to display Americanism.' Men of
this American type. who ore hoping and
praying for Governor D0le's removal and
waxing hysterical over its possibility, are
the kind whom Theodore Roosevelt has al
ways battled With men who have brought

pute at home and made American politics
