Charles Hustacc then arose and In an
excited manner made the following
statement.

Mr.. Andrews that you and all govern

can make me anything else"
Chairman Lucas interposed at this
juncture warning Mr.. Hustace to be
more mild in bis language.
II was dumped in the convention"
continued Hustace. II don't want any
more of this funny business. l say they
ought to keep out OF politics because
they stand behind Governor Carter and
his principles
Chairman Lucas arose and said 81
hardly think Mr. Hustace is on the right
track. He is here merely to vent his
spleen and spite
LUCAS CHIPS IN.
George w. Smith then took the chair
and Lucas went upon the floor and con-
tinued: MIR. Hustace has seen fit 10
vent his spleen because he is sore on
account of being defeated and now he
comes in and blames his precinct for his
defeat. Mr.. Hustace was more than
confident when he went into the con-
vention in the race for Supervisor. But
another individual got in and got the
votes. Why / supported Mr.. Hus;ace
then, but / don't think he is right to
come here and blame the precinct for
his undong. That had nothing what
ever to do with it,"
Mr.. Hustace-"I have not blamed my
precinct-it was the administration.
Mr.. Lucas-"The administration has
nothing to do with it."
GEO. w. SMITH HEARD.
George w. Smith then took the floor
and spoke, in part, as follows;
II will say that / was an ardent sup
porter of Mr.. Brown at the convention.
l was disappointed, but not sore, mind
you, when he was defeated. The dis
appointment lasted a few days but
thought it over and am not now for
Mr.. Brown.
Il agree with Mr. Andrews when he
said that only one-fifth of the delegates
to the convention We're ofiiceholders.
Mr.. Brown was defeated in open con-
vention, but Mr.. Brown is not a factor
just now.
"A squib appeared in one of the news
papers lately, DO your own thinkingn
There Is more meat in that than you
think. We, who are engaged in bust

Form your own opinion of candidates
as well. To vote a straight ticket Is
to set an example to the Hawaiians.
If you do not it will surely come back
at you at some future time with VEN

have men you really and earnestly want
in the legislature and the Hawaiians
Will say to you that they know what

Governor Carter.
Il find in my twenty-five years resi-
dence here that our life makes our pref
udices loom up greatly. On the main
land little matters which are not
