I found everything was already cut

read and write. Through me no taxes
are necessary for voting, you do not
have 10 pay them now as formerly.
"'rhe missionaries have tried to take
| away your votes, but God would not
allow them to fulfill the wishes of
their black hearts. God willed it that
should go to the United states as your
representative as the United States
wanted. Keep to your vote, one little
vote is worth everything. There will
be millions of dollars spent by the
| United States in improvements at
Pearl Har5or and other improvements.
What good will all that do you unless
you have a vote.
I'VE are now recognized and known
as a part of the United States. l can
truthlully say that 1 have no enemies
in Congress, we have no enemies in
, Congress. The only place where l have
/ heard any prejudice expressed against

vail, where the missionaries are all

The fire during the plague robbed
the poor people of their belongings,
and now the missionaries are wanting

"All the time the missionaries in
Congress try to spoil my efforts and
my friends there got tired of these
constant attempts to hinder me and
my attempts and often dropped the
whole affair.
What the missionaries want is a
haole, a white man. You can all see
what a prejudice exists right here in
Hawaii against the native. On the 4th
of July night there were no natives
asked to receive the guests. The gov

! Why? Because some of them were ma

would take no nOice of it or of any

new delegate and this man was TO be
ThurstCn, the chief of the pi gpen. All
this because l have native blood. They
want to always see a white skin before
a black.
Hawaii had a delegate. The Phil

F! still fighting. The president is trying
to arrange two delegates to be sent
from there.
I'm Congress the missionaries have
friends posted to try and upset and
thwart our plans all the time. IT is
true that I advised you 20 call the par

was because 1 was so advised by my
friends in Congress, and we have
more friends with the Republicans
than with the Democrats.
