They ask You to elect men who are
| for nothing on earth but obstruction
| OF the government. Cecil Brown and
Mr.. Waller, he said, stood for nothing
| except 10 fight the Governor and the
administration in general There had
| been enough and more than enough OF
trouble and obstruction already. The
| Democrats object to an administration
| which is efficient ana economical
AS Tor the Home Rule party they did
| not have single policy outlined. The
| speaker did not believe that in the
widest dreams of the Home Rule
| statesmen there was ever the vision of
a policy. All they want are the offices.
| and their cry is race hatred. as foul
| and evil a cry as was ever raised any
where, which sets men against men.
| (Applause.)
Then coming at last to the Repub-
Hcan party, Mr.. Cathcart said that
party stood for strong and efficient
| government. That has been given and
| in the short term of Governor Carter
he has already given the people an
| economical, strong and efficient govern
nent, and the Republican party prom
ises the same thing for the future.
| Mr.. Cathcart spoke in favor of con-
| tfnuing kuhio in Congress. 1t was
| foolishness to change men from term
| to term. Other communities held the
| same men in place as long as possible
| as the only means of obtaining bene-
| fits.
Cathcart asked in what way We're
| Cecil Brown, Frank Harvey and G.. j.
Waller superior to John Lane, Jack
| Dowsett and Faxon Bishop? a strong
effort has been made to induce Re
publicans to scratch the ticket. Those
| who scratched would have themselves
| to condemn.
KUHIO'S LAST SPEECH.
Prince Kuhio came forward to adj
dress the audience amid cheering. He
| spoke first in English. He SAID thar
much had been said about his being in
competent, but he did not think he was
SO bad when he compared himself with
Motley and Iaukea. 0aughter.) He
said he wanted to clear himself of the
charges made against him by Hutchfns
and Trent. He had been charged with
being a traitor to the Hawaiians be-
cause he had discarded Morris Keoho-
kalole as his secretary, in Washington.
In the month of January, Senators at
the national capital advised him of
runtor that he was frequenting places
which would bring discredit upon him.
ASK E. P. Dole, ask Charles Clark
and they will tell you that it was Nor
ris Keohokalole who was passing him
self off on the tenderloin as the dele
gate from Hawaii.
Il did not wish to be the delegate
from Hawaii. I believe the Advertiser
can back me up in that he added
smilingly. 1T was twenty minutes be-
fore the nomination came that I ac-
cepted and as you know I was elected.
When went to Washington l work.
ed with a man named Haywood, whom
you probably know. Well. I might as
well come out with it now as any
other time. We worked together for
two or three weeks. He found my opin-
ion was different from his and from
that day Mr.. Haywood worked against
me. He. tried to show the people of
Hawaii that he was it and that 1 was
the other fellow.
ST may as well say here that Mr..
Haywood is probably a man we may
think lot of, but 1 think Mr.. Haywood
is a man who is going to work for
Mr.. Haywood, and he is man who
means to make you work through him.
Haywood went to Representative Hit
and Hit told me afterwards what he
had said of me-that / was merely
tool used by the Republican Nparty co
beat Wilcox. Mr.. Haywood had said to
Mr. Hamilton (the man who backed
me up in the electric bil) the same
words he used to Mr.. Hit.
..W. O. Smith went oyer there and
asked me to introduce a bill in Con-
gress, but afterwards he never posted
me about the details, which were OF
electrical phraseoIogy.
.eThese things don't help Hawaii.
Even if you sent a fool over there anS
back him up, he may be able to do
something. But if you send fool,
like myself for instance Qaughter),
over there and then tell everybody in
Congress that he is a fool, Congress
will wait till you send somebody else
mo. I am not asking or pleading for
your votes. If you are going TO vote
for me as your delegate then want
your backing (applause)- If you want
me to go there as figurehead, then
don't vote for me.
eff YOU had sent ten Thurstons ana
ten w. o. Smiths over there for Con-
gressnen, doubt very much Whether
they could have done any more than
did. Read the records of Congress
they will show you that did some
thing. There was practically nothing
done for State or Territory. In the
committees they said, Don't you know
it's a Presidential year, 1t was moth
ing but promises.
Il will say that Congressman are not
going to let outsiders do their work for
them. They are not going to let out
siders do the work cut out for them.
1 believe can safely say that it was
due to my efforts that the Federal gov
eminent took over the Hawaiian light
house system. L asked Speaker Cannon
to put me on the Committee on Terri
tories so that 1 might keep in touch
with all matters pertaining to our is
lands.
"As w o. Smith bucked against me
when was in Washington, now L will
fight all who come to oppose me. l
want to tell you that new Delegate
or Congressman is small potato in
