Republicans Make
Some Telling
Points.

| ers was w. C. Achi who spoke par
| ticularly on the failure of j. NJ. Poe
poe of the Home Rule party to agree
finally to terms to joint debate on
political issues, stating that it was
Poepoe's proposal, and yet he could
not hold himself to terms.
ION the other platform" said he,
MIR. Poepoe challenged me to a de-
bate upon the political issues. In such
debate l asked that a judge be APP
pointed to decide the result. l chose
j. l.. Kauukou to look after my inter-
ests and asked Poepoe to choose man
to look after his and both these men
We're to choose third man.
II announce that i will fight for the
Republican party to the bitter end, and
challenge any man from any faction to
meet me upon the public rostrum in
public debate upon the issues before
us today.
"Poepoe would not agree to the form
of debate proposed. Tonight, however,
he comes to that platform yonder with
pile of books and invites me to a
debate. | do not need stack of
books, l carry my information in my
head
THE Home Rulers, led by Poepoe,
say that if elected to the Legislature
they will pass a law giving every
laboring man the right to attend the
polls for three hours away from his
business at full pay. That Is class
legisla ton and they cannot do IT. The
proposition to make such laws only
comes from FOOLS I am still one of
your senator's, so do not be led astray
by such statements.
1.-The Home Rulers today are just
the same as they We're in 1901. They
made abundant laws but 1 don't be-
lieve any of them We're for the beneflt
of the people at large. They went in
to spend money but not for the benefit
of the people. In the session of 1901
they appropriated s6,OOO,OOO for the ex-
pen.es of the territory, while the is
lands had only an income of $4,000, 900.
How could we manage the government
on such a cash arrangement as that?
The laws are TO be made for the bene-
fit of the rich and the poor.
THE Home Rulers state in their
speeches that the Republicans are lay
ing water pipes for the purpose of
catching votes. | say that that work
is the result of the last legislature, the
result of the appropriations made at
that session, and for which the pipe
only recently arrived from the main
land. 1t is being laid in accordance
with the program mapped out in the
last session. 1t takes time to get the
here.
Governor Carter is a Republican and
a man of whom we ought to be proud,
because when he saw that the eNpendi-
lures We're more than the receipts, he
called a halt and planned that the eX-
penditures and receipts should at least
balance. He is running his government
on an economical basis. That is a rea-
son why We Republicans should be
proud of him.
THE Home Rule party today is a
party without foundation. 1t is some-
thing like the kauna-oa which grows
upon the leaves Of other plants and
shrubs and has no roots OF its own
II YOU elect Home Rule delegate
TO Congress where viii he be seated?
The Republicans win have their seats.
