Douthitt and others Between addresses
Ellis quintette rendered several cam
paign songs. The entrance of Prince
Kuhio Kalanianaole was the signal FOR
cheers. The principal address was de-
livered by the Prince.
Prince Kuhio said that much had
been said about his being incompetent
but he did not think he was so bad
when he compared himself with Motley
and laukca. He said he wanted to
clear himself of the charges made a.
eauet him by Hutchins and Trent. He
had been charged with being a traitor
to the Hawaiians because he had dis
carded Morris Keohokalole as his secre-
tary, I'm Washington. In the month Of
January, Senators at the national ca
pital advised him of a rumor that he
was frequenting places which would
bring discredit upon him.
ASK T.. p. Dole. ask Charles Clark
and they will tell you that it was Nor
ris Keohokaloe who was passing him
self off on the tenderloin as the dele
gate from Hawaii
Il did not wish to be the delegate
from Hawaii: / believe the Advertiser
can back me up i'm that" he added
smilingly. ct was twenty minutes be-
fore the nom nation came that I ac-
cepted and as you know ! was elected.
when l went to Washington 1 work
ed with a man named Haywood, whom
you probably know. Well, / might as
well come out with it now as any
other time We worked together for
two or three weeks. He found my opin-
ion was different from his and from
that day Mr.. atwood worked against
me He tried to show the people of
Hawaii that he was lit" and that l was
the other fellow.
q may as well say here that Mr..
Haywood is probably a man we may
think lot of, but I think Mr.. Haywood
is man who is going to work for
Mr.. Haywood, and he is a man who
means to make you work through him.
Haywood went to Representative Hit
and Hit told me afterwards that he
had said of me-that 1 was merely a
| tool used by the Republican party to
beat Wilcox. Mr. haywood had said to
Mr.. Hamilton dhe man who backed
me up i'm the electric bilD the same
words he used to Mr. Hit
wv. O. Smith went over there and
asked me to introduce a bill in Con-
gress. but afterwards he never posted
me about the details. which were Of
electrical phraseOlogy.
These things don't help Hawaii.
Even II you sent a fool over there and
back him uD. he may be able to do
something. But if you send a fool,
like myself for instance Qaughter),
over there and then tell everybody in
Congress that he is a fool, Congress
will wait till you send somebody else.
NO l am not asking or pleading for
your votes If you are going to vote
for me as your delegate then l want
your backing. If you want me to go
| there as a fgurehead then don't vote
for me.
IF you had sent ten Thurstons and
ten w. O. Smiths over there for Con-
! gressmen, l doubt very much whether
they could have done any more than 1
did. Read the records of Congress
they will show you that I did some
thing. There was practically nothing
| done for State or Territory. In the
committees they said, Don't you know
it's a Presidential year. It was moth
ing but promises.
"As w o. Smith bucked against me
when | was i'm Washington now / will
fight all who come to oppose me.
want to tell you that a new Delegate
or Congressman is a small potato i'm
Congress. We talk big down here and
believe sincerely, that we are the whole
thing, but when we get to Washington
we find we are pretty small.
We want to get appropriations for
our harbors and get Federal buildings
first. Then we want to work in the
departments to secure appropriations
for the new Notifications to be erected
here, and to build the Pearl Harbor
naval station.
I leave it to you to decide. 1 cannot
do anything for your if you send men
over there to back-bite me. 1 ask you
all-business men and ALTO support
me if ] am elected. Otherwise don't
vote for me.
There is lot of talk about knitting.
think I know pretty well about the
Hawaiian vote. 1t all depends upon
the white voters. If you vote the Re-
publican ticket straight, we viii carry
the election tremendous applause.) II
