| spoke first In English. iie said th.t
much had pecn said about his being IN.
competent. but he aid not think he was
30 bad when be compared himself with
Motley and laukea. u.aughtef) IT,
said lac wanted TO clear himself Of the
! charges made against him by Hutchins
and Trent. lie had been charged with
/ being traitor to the 1Iawailans be-
cause he had discarded Morris Keoho-
kalole as his secretary In Washington.
/ In the month OF January. Senators at
b the national capital advised him OF "a
rumor that he was frequentlng places
, which would bring discrcdit upon him.
! ASK r.. =. Dole, ask Charles Clark
and they will tell you that 1t was Nor
ris Keohokalole who was passing him
self OFF on the tenderloin as the dele
gate from Hawaii.
II did not wish to be the delegate
from Hawaii. l believe the Advertiser
can back me up in that" he added
smilingly. 1T was twenty minutes be-
fore the nomination came that | ac-
y cepted and as you know | was elected
ed with a man named Haywood, whom
you probably know. Well, / might as
well come out with 1t now as any
other time. We worked together for
two or three weeks. He found my opin-
I 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 / was
) the other fellow. bias
/ II may as well say here that Mr..
/ Haywood Is probably a man we may
think lot of, but / think Mr.. Haywood
is a man who is going to work for
Mr.. Haywood, and he is n 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 i was merely a
tool used by the Republican party to
beat Wilcox. Mr.. Haywood had said to
Mr.. Hamilton (the man who backed
me up in the electric bilD the same
words he used to Mr. Hit.
| wv. O. Smith went over there and
asked me to introduce a bill in Con-
gress, but afterwards he never posted
| me about the details, which were OF
electrical phraseology.
These things don't help Hawaii.
, Even If YOU sent a fool over there and
back him up. he may be able to do
something. But If you send fool,
like myself for instance QaughteD,
over there and then tell everybody in
Congress that he is a fool, Congress
! will wait till you send somebody else.
NO. I am not asking or pleading for
your votes. If you are going to vote
for me as your delegate then l want
your backing (applause). If you want
me to go there as a figurehead, then
don't vote for me.
IF YOU had. sent ten Thurstons ana
ten w. O. Smiths over there for Con-
gressmen, | doubt very much Whether
they could have done any more than
did. Read the records of Congress
they will show you that L did some
thing. There was practically nothing
done for n State or Territory. In the
committees they said, Don't you know
it's a Presidential year? 1t was moth
: ing but promises. 90
Il will say that congressman are moi
: going to let outsiders do their work fol
them. They are not going to let out
sders do the work cut out for them
l believe 1 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 l might keep in touch
. with all matters pertaining to our is
: lands.
"As w. o. Smith bucked against me
when l was in Washington, now l Will
fight all who come to oppose me. i
, want to tell you that a new Delegate
or Congressman is a small potato in
+, Congress. We talk big down here and
believe, sincerely, that we are the whole
thing, but when we get to Washington
we find we are pretty small.
I'VE want to get appropriations Tor
our harbors and get Federal buildings
, first. Then we want to work In the
departments to secure appropriations
for the new fortificatious to be erected
here, and to build the Pearl Harbor
, naval station.
II leave il to you to decide. l cannot
do anything for you If you send men
over there to back-bite me. l ask you
all-business men and ALTO support
p, me If | am elected. Ootherwise don
vote for me.
There is lot of talk about knifng.
| think l know pretty well about the
Hawaiian vote. 1t all depends upon
the white voters. If you vote the lie
publican ticket straight. we VIII carry
the election tremendous applause). ii
Won are going to vote for Cecil Brown
or Waller. we won't know where were
/, at. If that is done, We may possibly
have Home Rule legislature again.
