unaItcrably opposed to one man power

American administration as is now i'm

As to the election of Delegate to
/ Congress we re-afirm our position that
i'm this election the delegates should be
chosen from the standpoint of personal
and business qualifications and that Mr.
Iaukea is entitled to receive the votes
of the electorate. Other elections may
raise questions of national policy where
the line between Democratic and Re-
publican national policies will have to
be recognized, and may properly con
troll the entire Territorial election, but
with the present composition of the
Senate of the United states tariff reNi-
sion with Judge Parker and the House
of Representatives Democratic, Is ever
then such "a remote possibility as MOI
to Justify i'm our judgment serious con-
sideration by electors who are opposed
to tariff revision. but who otherwise
prefer Mr. Iaukea over rival candidates
In conclusion the committee warns
p the electors to pay no heed to alleged
3 new issues or the un-earthing of poll

the eve of ele, ton. The fact that sucl
things are held in reserve until Their

A noticeable feature of this campais

unbounded effrontery to urge the cleo

cause such candidates opposed the de
thronement of the Queen and the boy
colt of certain Democratic candidate
and supporters because they took par
in the reinforcement of the Queen AM
in other public events leading up to an
