ceiyes his commission from the Presl
dent as well as the Governor. sup
pose, therefore. that he passes out al
once into the category of officials who
are immune from local criticism and
attack. Tide Democrats say that The
Governor Is an issue OF this campaign
an issue forced upon the citizens u.
this Territory by a series OF acts by
the Governor in violation of the o..
ganic Act under which he was az
pointed. Why, the Republican Terri
torial Convention. or rather the Repus
lican machine of this Territory in coli
yention. made the endorsement Of
Governor Carriers Administration one
| of the chief features of its platform
and II the Republican party prevails
OF the polls Governor Carter will take
and use the result at Washington as
well as here as an endorsement of his
Administration, and II the RepubIi.
cans are defeated at the polls will not
that result be taken at Washington
and here as a condemnation OF his Adj.
ministration?
Most assuredly. In deciding this
question our own hearty common
sense comes to our rescue and oh.
swers the question in line with the
Democratic declaration that the Gov.
ernor Of this Territory and his admin.
istration are amenable to the people
Of this Territory. and II condemned
and rebuked at the polls will have 20
mend their ways and conform to the
manifest wishes of the people of this
Territory, or be called down at Wash.
ington whether a Republican Presi.
dent occupies the Presidential chair,
or Democrat.
Let the Sth day Of November settle
these issues and settle them rightly.
Richard Trent following. referred t.
the fact that yesterday the Republ.
cans were pointing to the Democrats;
today they were viewing with alarm
the conditions. The Republicans. as
little as the Democrats, wanted onc.
man rule. without referring to pcs.
sonalities the speaker wished to say
that the undated resignation system
had became a serious matter which
developed menace to the people. He
related several recent instances where
criticism Of this system had occurred.
He said that II the Republicans were
elected every Republican legislator
bound as he was to support the wishes
of the Administration, were chained
like the prisoners of the gang. with
chains. the end Of which was in the
Attorney Generals office. when the
chain was pulled these men jumped
up; when 1t was pulled again these
men set down.
The speaker in the relating OF a sup
posed dream. which created much
present. He had dreamed that four
years ago he saw a Hawaiian Home
Rule Delegate at the tail OF a magnif.
cent procession riding in soap box
hauled by buffalo. He referred to
the arrest Of Prince Kuhlo two years
later and then prophesied very much
different aspect for laukea.
Clinton J. Hutchins denounced a re.
cent speech by Cupid In which he ac.
cused him of making a miserable. mud.
singing speech against Iaukea. This
speech referred to the statement that
Iaukea's son was begging on the San
Francisco streets. disowned by his ia.
Their. He accused Cupid of hiding his
own filthy conduct against Keohoka.
lole behind an unfortunate private AZ.
fair vi Iaukea's, thus attacking the
home and. fireside OF u Hawaiian gen.
tleman. He finally characterized Gu.
pid as a sneak and read the speech as
reported by the Garden Island and re.
published in the Bulletin.
He said that Cupid's work In Wash.
ington was a farce The lighthouse
appropriation was not secured by Gu.
pld without help. The $4,000 he said
was secured for the Federal building
had not been appropriated for this
purpose. The only building Of this
character was the quarantine station.
Cupid did not have anything to do
with the fertilization for Hawaii; his
name was never mentioned In connec-
ton with this bill. II Cupid should
have credit for this, Wilcox should
have credit for the fire claims bill of
one million dollars. Cupid was hardly
to be found in his seat In Congress.
Not speaking as Democrat but as a
business man, the speaker wanted
man In Congress who would get ap-
preparations for the Territory. He said
that w. o. Smith and others who
were In Washington to get benefits
for corporations had no confidence In
Cupid. Cupid was their candidate but
they were not voting for him. Cupid
was to take good secretary, and It
was him they would trust; he would
be the actual Delegate. He referred
to the remarks Of the representative OF
New Mexico that Hawaii had been
source of expense to the United States.
This mistake was never contradlcted
by anyone. Where was the Delegate?
Many Republican business men of the
city had told the speaker II would be
better to send no one to Washington
than to send Cupid. Hutchins liked
