us Home Rulers for not doing more |
work, and for Sinking duty; l say my |
dear fellow Hawaiians, l worked aw- /
full hard and was sweating at times.
yes, for Kahunaism," said a voice. |
again l see COMBINATIONS and fool
ish shots made at us for having pass
ed the female dog tax-bll over the Gov |
ernors veto; Does not that represent |
hard and ernest work."
Some one in the meeting inquired, |
why didn't you work as hard and
earnest and pass the county bill?"
THE Republicans blocked and ham
pered our way" the Senator replied,
Il say, you send us to the legislature
again and we will pass that bill in less
than no time; 1 am legs and head for
county government"
| Representative l. x. Kaauwai said:
1--WE have come now to thank you for
having bedecked us with honors by
having sent us to that wonderful work,
|legislating."
Because your pockets jingles; you
promised us that all you Home Rulers
were going to tour after being elected
and inquire into the needs Of us Ha-
waiians," said some one in the au-
dience.
1--WE did not have the time" replied
/ Kaauwai But l say, you send us
again and we will get right down to
good business. The last time we were
handicapped for lack of knowledge Of
house rules, and also of ways of con-
Quoting. And now we are posted. You
send new men, they would all have to
be broken in, that means another extra
or special term. They say we accepted
brides. They can not prove it. We
caused an investigation held through
Humphreys and Hartwell Thurston
and others were imprisoned instead of
us"
David Kalauokalani Jr., said: Il was
our delegates private secretary and
must say that we were accorded the
best of wishes and help by the Re
Ipublicans and Democrats of America.
The President told Mr.. Wilcox You go
back and work up your party; The only
true party. We are all Home Rulers.
The road of politics is to rule home
The senators and representatives don't
care for and will not recognize these
other people of the islands outside of
Home Rulers. Congress fought for
three months and agreed to let the
Philippines rule themselves, people OF
millions and religious like us. They
are to be represented by three delegates
God at last has looked down on us, and
is helping us. County government l
favor"
Speaker Akina defended the legisla-
ture and declared it made sufficient APP
propriations. To this the answer came
back, yes, you made appropriations,
but furnished hot air instead of money
to meet them"
Containing Akina said "If we don't
send again our delegate r. W. Wilcox
we don't get any homesteads. If our
delegate gets all the votes, God will
whisper personally in our ears that we
prosper for ever"
Mahikoa an unsuccessful aspirant for
nomination two years ago said: Let
us chuck out some of the men that went
to the last Legislature. They hurt us
in general by their prejudice and alto
gether unwarranted foolish legisla-
ting. They did nothing but gas and
throw insinuations at each other like a
lot of school children, only to be seen
in little groups around street corners
f of afternoons waving their hands in
2 the air and in despair. They promised
that Immediately after their election a
tour of the island would be made and
the wants and needs of the people look
ed into They tell us that they worked
hard there are proofs that one third
of them used to be absent continuous
ly. They say they were hampered by
1 the Republicans. Why they had the
' majority of the legislature and could
: have passed anything they liked in
= spite of the Governors Vetos. But l
say they had this disease known as
cold feet. If we don't put up popular
and competent men then we can count
on a shameful defeat"
8, Wilcox spoke as follows: You Ka-
'uaians are people. Your Home Rule
Senators and Representatives stuck To
Home Ruleism, whether right or wrong
But some of the Maui and Hawaii
Home Rulers turned back on us. You
y, send your same men. My enemies says
- am going to die. I'll see good many
: of their funerals before kicking the
. bucket.
. II thank you for the overwhelming
6 electoral vote given me, and l ask you
u to do still better. They say nave
no friends in America and would mol
be recognized. l tell you the Republl'
5. cans and Democrats of America are al
Home Rulers. The Aloha Alma so
ciety sent me in 1900 to Washington
and / obtained for us the unlimited
franchise, Armstrong, Hartweu anC
Smith worked just the contrary. The!
say my bills did not pass, because
neglected them. It's lie. There were
$4,000 bills introduced and only 80
passed. The mainland Senators pro
portion of successful work was noth
- ing compared to mine.
/ 81 see that there was a general now
N when l introduced the noted Wilco'
Leper bill and yet if we just stop
moment and think you will see that m!
idea was all right Twenty years ag
they had one thousand lepers at IN
settlement and today the number i
the same. Why? Because of the damne'
missionaries vaccination; they use Tn
leper matter when inOculating. Is Their
any proof? Just look at this, tn
father and mother will show no sig
lof leprosy and it would break out wit
their children. Who is responsible 10
most of this humanity? The mis-
, slonaries, and especially that long leg
