LEPERS NOT TO

No political speakers will be per-
mitted to invade the precincts of the
Leper Settlement this year in order
to sway the voting population. Both
Prince Kuhio and Charles Motley
agreed that they would not go to the
Settlement for the purpose of making
speeches, but Chairman Kinney of the
Democratic committee decided he
would prefer sending Iaukea there In
answer to his request to do so, Presi-
dent Pinkham of the Board of Health
has made the following reply:

w. A. Kinney, Chairman Democratic
Central Committee.
Sir: Having consulted the candi-
dates for Delegate to Congress and
those responsible for the Settlement
at Kalaupapa, Molokai, there seems
to be no opposition to the position that
it is best to avoid the excitement OF
the political canvass among the suffer
ers- Therefore, since the same condl-
lions are imposed on all parties, I ar
unable to grant permits for political
addresses.

ASTONIShES THE
GARDEN ISLE

A. G. M. Robertson says that Repub-
licans should stand by the parity even
though the party employs improper
methods.
Think of such proposition advanced
to an aggregation of voters who deem
themselves decent Americans. It is
useless to discuss such a contention;
its serious consideration even is insult
ing to men who consider themselves
worthy the right to vote. A goodly
number of men who are decent Re-
publicans will cast their votes as regu-
larly as clockwork against the Repub-
lican party once they become convinc-
ed it employs improper methods" and
individual candidates who employ i'm
proper methods will most assuredly
be cut by decent Republican voters

in the last County election, the Republi-
can machine counted out the Home
Rulers largely through manipulation in
the Fifth Precinct, which was followed
by no prosecution or punishment what
soever, although the Governor has made
himself personally responsible for every
. thing done in the Executive Depart
ment, by his policy of centraIizing ALI
authority in himself.
Under these circufns tances. what else
can the Democrats do than confront the
issue that meets them every day in the
conduct of their campaign multiplying and
setting aside legitimate party efforts for
party success. When laborers are kept
away from our meetings against their
own wish and desire by men directly I'M
der the orders of the Governor, what
would you do if you were IN our place
Are we to say nothing about it? If So,
we might as well go out of business.
The whole Republican campaigns
shows evidences of having been deiiber-
ately planned and outlined months ago,
and is founded upon coercion and in
tirnidation, and upon the corrupt use of
official patronage, and unless that cam
be met and checked it is idle to talk
much about what the Democrats are GO
ing to do when they get into the Legis-
lature, for they will never get there.
We would like in Mr.. Hutchins be-
half to get the vote of Independent Re-
publicans, but that vote cannot elect Mr..
F1utchins unless we are able also to call
out and vote substantially our full Dem
ocratic strength in his behalf AS u1at-
ter of fact the Democrats have in their
platform outlined number of business
propositions which they will present in
the Legislature, if elected. They pro-
pose still to do this, but without abating
one jot or title of their right to insist
that there shall be an untramneled vote.

count for preventing such elections You
inveigh against Legislative enquiry into,
the methods used by the Executive. 1t
is the only way that the citizens of the.
Territory have to express their senti-
ments in regard to the conduct of the
Executive. We cannot remove him;
this can be done by the President alone.
An investigation is all we have, but this
is better than nothing, for, if fairly and
thoroughly conducted, it may lead to
the condemnation of such methods and
abandonment of their use by any party
in the future.
We contend further that the Demo-
cratic party is doing great service TO
the Territory in raising the issue IN
legitimate and open way here within
our own borders. IF we are silent on
the subject the matter will not down.,
The situation is understood and the evil
effects of it will make themselves felt

KAUAI G.. 0. p.'S
ENDORSE CARTER

The Kauai Republicans in adopting
their platform last week. heartily en-
dorsed the Carter administration. The
platform reads as follows.
THE Republican party of Kauai in
convention assembled this first day of
October, 1904, renews it's allegiance to
the principles and traditions of the Re-
publican party Of the nation and en-
dorses the sentiments expressed in the
Republican territorial platform adopted
by the Territorial Convention at Hilo,
Hawaii, on the first of September. 1901.
We particularly endorse the con-
sentative and economic policy of our
governor, George r. Carter, at a time
when the financial condition of the Ter
ritory was seriously crippled, and e
consider the territory and the Repub-
lican party should congratulate Itself
that it has at this time Republican
Governor of wisdom and executive
ability.
We also endorse the Territorial
platform wherein the support of the
party is pledged to the reelection of
Delegate Kalanianaole, and we hereby
express our appreciation to our Dele
gate for the benefits we have received
in the way of federal favor through his
efforts.
Kauai being solely farming COM
munity, we believe in the disposal of
unoccupied public lands to bona fide
settlers upon most favorable terms but
we do not endorse any policy that
would in any manner jeopardize the
chief industry of this island from which
all citizens of Kauai, either directly or
indirectly derive their living and the
country its revenue, and we believe the
farmer at home, who has made the
country what it now is, should be given
fully as much consideration as the I'M
known and untried farmer from abroad
We particularly charge our senators and
representatives to give their undivided
time and attention to the deliberations
OF the Legislature while it is in session
not only to prevent unwise and extra
VACANT legislation for the Territory as
whole, but also to see that Kauai is
given its rightful proportionate share
OF the appropriations for the repair and
Improvement of our schools. court
houses, jails, roads, etc, many OF
which are In a disgraceful condition.
we believe in the establishment OF
County Government, not because it may
be the most economical policy in theory

District Republican Executive Com
mittee, Honolulu, 7. III.
Dear Sir: j have been accused OF
favoring a change in our laws whereby
all restrictions against gambling may
be removed, and this accusation has
been used as an argument against vot-
ing the straight ticket.
This charge has no foundation. 1

which may be proposed making any
change in our present law against
islature / pledge myself to work and
vote against any measure that may be
introduced therein allowing gambling

Two of the Republican candidates
for Representatives from the Fifth dis
trict in Honolulu, have been asked by
the party to withdraw after the at
tacks of the Advertiser and The Star.
These two papers refused to be led by
the machine, which seems to be gel

and exposed the sort of candidates the
machine stands for in its hope to win
at any price. Sol Mahelona and Jas
Shaw of the Fifth are part of the
price the Honolulu machine is willing
to pay for success. At such price no
logical man can say the machine
should not succeed.-Garden Island.
