the United States will give some heed

wall. l propose that every voter be
given n chance to sign petition asking
the President to appoint the choice of
the petitioners. l want to send a petit

to know whom we want for Governor.

man, and man who will not forget
the Hawaiians, will be the man / shall

want to send petitions to Washington
bearing thousands of names. After we
cover Hawaii. we will circulate the pc

1.-THE best man." said Mr.. Baker. II
do not believe we should seek to have
the President appoint an Hawaiian.
But we want a white man who regards
the rights and feelings of the Hawai-

whom we do not want, but I prefer to
wait and find out the popular will."-
