of the electorate in sending Kuhio back
to Congress.
THE condition of the Territory to-
day." said Mr.. Harris, demands that
the next session of the Legislature shall
be a short and businesslike one, for
such is the only way the people of
the Territory will be benefited. We
insist and demand that the expendi-
lures of the Territory shall not exceed
the revenue. 1t is not justifiable TO
burden the people with taxation, simply
because a legislature makes extrava-
CANT appropria tons. The basis of tax
alton should be as low as possible, suffi-
cient to carry on the government in a
satisfactory and economical manner"
CHAIRMAN ANDREWS.
Chairman Andrews referred to work
accomplished by Delegate Kuhio at
Washington, citing instances where
money had been appropriated for army
and navy buildings in the Territory,
which would in time, amount to millions
of dollars. Through his efforts, for he
was the accredited Delegate, we now
have a Federal quarantine service and a
Federal building is coming; appropria-
lions for Notifications had been made;
lighthouses had been taken over by the
Federal government and the Territory
no longer had to keep them going. 1t
was Kuhio who introduced the bill pro-
viding that the Portuguese should have
the right to acquire their leaseholds in
fee simple on the Punchbowl slopes.
E. A. DOUTHITT.
e. A. Douthitt spoke mainly of the
principles of Republicanism. He said
that the Republican party had done
we'll from Abraham Lincoln to William
Mckinley and the present executive
showed that meant to conduct a bust
ness administration and had done SO.
Mr.. Douthitt asked the voters to vote
for men in whom they had confidence,
whom they knew would look after the
interests of the people at large. Vote
the straight Republican ticket and the
Legislature would have men in whom
the people could place confidence.
e. K. Lilikalani, candidate for the
House from the Fourth District, made
speech in Hawaiian, and in a short
time had the audience with him. His
speech bristled with humor and he
swayed the audience to his own rea-
soning.
E. w. QUINN.
E. w. Quinn, dubbed instantly, Quinn,
the Plumber candidate from the
Fourth for the lower house, made
brief speech. He asked for support in
his scandidature. He asked it first be-
cause he was a Republican, because he
believed the Republican party will give
the best government to the Territory,
and because by it's platform the party
guarantees an honest administration.
1t was not the party of the rich or the
poor, the Hawaiian or the haole. but
it was the party of the people. It be-
lieved in equal rights to all people be-
fore the law: He promised if elected
to work through his whole term for an
honest and efficient government. If
elected he would thank the people. If
defeated he would still thank the peo-
pie, and continue to be a party worker
in the ranks.
FRANK ANDRADE.
Frank Andrade, candidate from the
Fourth for the lower house, said the
people undoubtedly wanted men in the
legislature who would give them
business session, which would enact ap-
preparation bills with due regard to the
taxpayers. The last legislature had
enacted the loan bill.
THE DELEGATE SPEAKS.
Delegate Kuhio said he preferred
speaking in his own language as he
could best argue with the Hawaiian
in his mother tongue. The principles
of Repubiica nism he would leave to tie
haole speakers who were more fami-
liar with them than he. He spoke
strongly of the Republican party and
its interest in Hawaiian affairs, and for
that reason the people should support
the Republican ticket.
In Hawaiian he spoke of Iaukea and
Motley. He was willing politically to
stand before the people as a contestant
with Iaukea, but as for Motley he was
not to be thought of. He then spoke
of Notfey's record, viewed from the
standpoint of the Hawaiian voter. In
1887 it was Motley who was one of the
first to head the list of would-be-annex-
ationists. In 1898 both Motley and Iau-
kea deserted their Queen and became
annexationists. In 1895 who stood by
the Hawaiians as he had done? Not
Iaukea or Motley. The Prince referred
to himself in those days. He had gone
to Diamond Head and was with that
forlorn hope to restore Liliuokalani her
throne. Who went to prison as polit-
