The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-10-25

opportunity To gam the lu-Wlll OF
large part of the Hawaiian community
by his stand, but he told me he was
ready to verify the charges, and it was
his testimony, practically, that con-
victed Kumalae. MIR. Aylett is said by
the Advertiser to belong to the Solid
Thirteen. The Solid Thirteen was the
majority which voted in favor Of the
caucus nominee C<umalae) for speaker.
But after that the Solid Thirteen split
up. There has not been a single accu-
sation of malfeasance against Mr.. Long
or Mr.. Avlett.
Il will say that the talk among white
men about scratching is alarming. We
are going to the Hawaiian electorate
telling them to vote the straight Repub-
lican ticket, but suppose in the future
we ask them to vote for our men and
they say to us, you taught us TO vote
a split ticket and that's what we are
going to do. What then will you do?
There has been talk of cutting the
ticket because of Governor Carter The
candidates are pledged to support the
platform They are not dummies, auto
nations or asses. They are not going
into this fight because of the Governor,
and for his action in putting out a cou-
pie of men from office. What has the
Governor of this Territory to do with
the fight? If you have not read the
Democratic platform you had better do
so. The candidates do not pledge them
selves to do anything for the Terri
tory. They do say they are going to
cut salaries and they are going to in
crease the income tax. Whom does that
hurt but the voters? The man who has
plantation interests and turns in his in
come at $4,000 puts in an exemption
of $4,000 and pays nothing. You and I
are the ones who pay because we are
salaried or get wages They denounce
the Governor and want to raise the in
come tax. If any Democrat is a man
of honor, he will, when elected, uphold
his platform upon which he was elected
That means that he will oppose nearly
all financial measures proposed by the
Governor. What does Mr. Kinney say
in all his speeches? We must down
Carter But this will only hurt you
and the rest of the voters not the Gov
ernor. In any case is the Democratic
party going to do anything more than
the Home Rule party did four years
ago? They quarreled with the Governor
INSTRUCTED all good measures, etc.
There is only one party in this coun-
try that shows that it has intelligence
enough to pass reasonable measures.
and that is the Republican. Kinney,
you all know, wries all the big speeches
for the Democratic meetings and edits
all the rest. He is the .one-man power
Of the Democratic parry. Why do you
want candidates from a party like the
Democratic party? The Republican
party is open and is ruled by a cor
vention.
You will certainly be sorry. you
merchants and business men, if YOU
send men to the Legislature not of
your patty, and there is turmoil and
legislation is blocked. for you will be
the ones to suffer"
Ed Towse supported the Attorney
General in a brief speech and Charles
| HustaCe took the floor. He was mucn
excited as he protested against being
led by the nose by the administration.
AS to Cecil Brown" he said he is
the victim of the Carter administration
There have been other victims and
this fight. This is my precinct and
will fight for my precinct l am going
to see this fight through. No man is
going to put yoke around my neck. |
tell you, Mr.. Andrews, that you and all
government officials want to keep your
noses out of politics. We are indepen-
dent. l am a Republican and no onC
can make me anything else.
| Il was dumped in the convention"
continued Hustace. Il don't want any
! more of this funny business. | say they
ought TO keep out of politics because
they stand behind Governor Carter and
! his principles"
Lucas took the floor for little while
to tell Hustace where he was in the
wrong. The administration, he said,
had had nohing to do with dumping
! Hustace.
George w. Smith spoke in favor of the
! straight ticket and was followed by c.
! l.. Beal of the Hawaiian Trust co.
| who read "A long statement protesting
! against the 'pernicious political ac-
tivity of government officials and EN-
! ployes." He announced that he had
resigned from the Central committee.
| After Major Zeigler Ollie Swain, Ar
thur Coyne, Harry Murray and e. A.
! Douthitt had urged the straight ticket
| George w. Smith moved a resolution in
favor of voting straight. 1t was adopt
ed on rising vote the only dssentients
! being Hustace Beal, Walker and Fred
| Damon.
