CANDIDATE TRENT SPEAKS.
The next speaker was r. H. Trent.
whose speech told mostly of a dream
he had concerning three professions
which he saw in his mind happening in
Washington. One was great process
sion of soldiers, bands and Democratic
and Republican congressman, while at
the tail end was a soap box on cart
wheels containing Hawaii's delegate
(Wilcox). Then the scene changed and
he saw another procession, all draped
in black in memory of the late asscs-
sinated President. He heard a noise
and a changing of bells and then saw
the Black Maria. going by with the
delegate from Hawaii in it (Priace
Kuhio). Then he saw another process
sion, but in fine carriage surrounded
by eminent Congressman was the COM
ing delegate Iaukea). Trent said it
was onlv dream however. He also
stated he was not dealing in PERSONAL
tiles.
Mr.. HUTCHINS AFTER KUHIO.
c. j. Hutchfns next took the stand
and made a fierce onslaught on Prince
Kuhio, referring to a speech made by
the delegate on Kauai and printed in
the Bulletin in which the Prince had
stated he had obtained three things for
Hawaii: United States aid for Hawai-
ian lighthouses; $50, 900 for public
(quarantine) building, and 5000, coo for
Notifications.
IT consider that speech to be a tissue
of lies said Hutchins. st had hoped
this campaign would be at least free
from mud-throwing and personalities
and 1 call it an outrage and shame
that this man, who is the Republican
delegate, should drag into this cam
paign such material as he has brought
into it, by his miserable attack on C.
p. Iaukea. Shame on such a remark !
when he asks, Why did Iaukea dis
own his SOM and his answer, Because
he went wrong There he is, hiding his
own filthy skirts behind what has oc-
CURED in mans family. Now Mr..
Republican, do you blacken a mans |
character in that manner in this cam
paign? You will not if you have a drop
of manly blood in your veins 1t is
almost impossible for me to refrain
from making a personal attack to-
which this man says while he is crav-
ing your votes and attempts to get |
them by blackening the name of the
Democratic delegate. Don't forget that
he attacked the fireside of a Hawaiian
home. 1t is the part of a sneak that
would do such a thing
After this personal attack on Prince
Kuhio. Mr.. Hutchins referred to the
appropriations which Kuhio claims to
have secured.
"As to the lighthouses he continued,
1T was published in the newspapers
that Gov. Carter had gone to Wash
iugton and had told the powers that be
that the legislature would refuse to
make appropriations and that they
would be discontinued if Congress did
not do something for them. The Fed
eral Government. without further ado, |
took the lighthouses over.
ASK DR.. Golfer who got the appro-
priation of 100000 for the quarantine
buildings, and he win tell you. Kuhio
did not get the appropriation. He says
he asked for 100000 for fortifications.
but they cut it down to $500. 000 An
was made by visiting en-
gineer board here and sent to the House
Of Representatives that it would cost
Souu,Voo TO SoOt,O00 TO DO preliminary /
fortification work here. The bill which
was introduced by the chairman of the
proper committee only provided for
5000, 900. In the whole Congressional
Record there is no reference anywhere
that Kuhio had to do with il. The
money was procured through the efforts
Of some good friends of both the Re
publican and Democratic parties in the
Senate that boosted the amendment to
s526,ooo. 1t went back to the House.
There was a conference and finally it
was passed at the House figures, $780,
lo0 Kuhio did not influence the result
an atom.
ut is said, Wen give the generals
simo the credit If that be so then
give r. W. Wilcox credit for obtaining
q, coo, 900 of fire claims money.
Il have not heard of single man
who ever knew of our delegate ever
interviewing a single senator in Wash
ington. Why? If you can get W. O.
Smith to say anything I think you can
