THE issues of this campaign are
clear cut, Notwithstanding the efforts
of number of clever writer's and in
genious special pleaders to make them
otherwise. These men cannot beclouu
the truth, evade facts or escape the
natural consequences of their peculiar
tactics. their specious utterances, their
absurd intentions, their fiimsy prom
ises, their whining criticism, their vitu-
peration and their pandering to preju-
dice and bias. 1t is plain that they
seek to disorganize the state, to create
condition little short of chaos and
anarchy.
KINNEY AND ANARCHY
1.-THE Democratic platform and the
Kinney manifesto are documents that
cannot survive analysis by right-think-
ing people. Each is a hodge-podge Of
Inconsistencies and half-truths con-
structed for vote-getting purposes only.
f., They propose amongst other queer
things to increase the taxes of the rich.
Now, all of you know we'll that there
can be no class legislation in this or
any other portion of the United States.
But principally these Democratic word
bombs say that they will investigate
and further that they will withdraw
from the executive department of the
government its most important func-
lions and place them in the hands Of
whom? Why, themselves. l do not
believe that We want this change. The
Organic Act is the fundamental law
of this Territory and it's letter and more
especially its spirit must be carried out
if We are to have things done decently
and in order. Just what there may be
to investigate II indicated neither by
the Democratic platform nor Mr.. Kim
ney's revised edition of the same. There
are not even rumors upon which to
base the wall for investigation and the
Democratic organs and oracles know 1t
and are compelled to admit It:
KUHIO'S GOOD RECORD.
Gentlemen, it is enduring principles
and not the uncertainty of human life
upon which the Republican party and the
American nation as a government are
based. But If they wish to discuss
men instead of measures. we can GER
tainly acc immediate them. The stand
ard bearer of the Republican party in
this campaign is Delegate Kuhio, up
for reelection. The facts about him
are that he did more work and better
work during his single term than any
other member of the House at Wash
ington, likewise upon his first term.
This is the record. This Is the truth.
He has made powerful friends there and
has acquired an influence more valuable
to this Territory than any other asset
of the same class Why, then, should
there be any hestancy about return
ing him. He Is pre-eminently the man
for the place at this time Numerous
measures of the utmost Importance to
all of us are pending at Washington.
As Kuhlo has given them the initiative
he and he alone is capable of going
back to Washington in December and
In March next and forwarding these
matters as they should be forwarded.
THE GOVERNORS ENEMIES.
Governor Carter. who has been fit-
tlngly described as perfect steam
'ngine OF energy and action. has drawn
enough fire from the Democratic camp
% annihilate "a Manchurian army.
Taking by and large the greater portion
n what has been said about him, we
should feel that We honor ourselves IN
declaring that We love him for the ene-
mics he has made. They are a motley
