prom w.ane.asY,s aaIlll

Home Rulers have opened their cam
paign for the election in November by
a general attack upon Governor Dole
and President Roosevelt Yesterday
thousands OF circulars were sent out
by Emmeluth, kaisnianaole and Ka-
nuha, as n committee on organisation.
calling upon the Home Rulers TO rally
TO new STANDARD
The circular IL sent To not only Home
Rulers, but all opponents OF Governor
Dole. whom IL H. hoped TO enlist in the
cause OF the Home Rulers. In sub
stance the circular IL as follows:
The endorsement OF Governor Dole
by the President OF the United States
closes the first chapter OF the contro-
versy 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 at Washington. and o.,
that occasion he said: There are GER
tain things in the Organic Act which
"Ouiu Uldhf tnt people cl ItdWdu nap
py II changed"
He also said that he had no other
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 a 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-
ministration against the wishes of the
people in their desire to frame their
own destiny; on the other, the great
majority OF the voters who are ready
and anxious to forge ahead and to Sc
cure the rights and privileges Of good
citizenship which has come to us
through the changes which have OBJ
tanned during the past two years.
There IS only one road to success
when It Is a question of the majority
after the stand which has been taken
by President Roosevelt. We must All
every seat in the Senate in the coming
November election and we must obtain
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 will be in
corporated in such laws as will bring
to the Territory Of Hawaii the true un-
derstanding 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 dc
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
county government should be pushed
ahead from now on until the day OF
election.
The opinion of Home Rulers
! throughout the islands-an opinion
which we hope those of other parties
will share-is the establishment OF
county and municipal government In
every island Of the group.
The committee of organization will
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 animosity 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.
