he Friction.
The Governor then charges that the
greatest of friction existed between
the Police Department and that of the
Attorney General. ! deny this charge
In toto, and / ask the electors to bear
In mind that the Governor of the Ter
ritory has committed himself deliber.
ately to the accusation that the great
est of friction" existed between my
General, and | hold him to make his
proofs OF that assertion, and II he has
any manhood or fair play in him he
will comply with this demand or back
down on that assertion. I alege the
truth to be that neither great or any
friction ever existed between the At.
torney Generals Department and
mine while was Sheriff, and after my
removal Mr.. Andrews engaged me sew
eral times to represent his Depart
ment in the prosecution of cases, not.
ably at Kailua, and I have also rem.
dered assistance otherwise in certain
criminal cases.
The truth is the Governor in inaugu.
rating the system Of personal reports
to him did away with the system by
which | dealt with the Attorney Gen.
erals Department, and arranged II so
that | reported direct to him. This
move, as I believe, was not approved
Of or liked by those representing the
Attorney Generals Department. In
reporting direct to the Governor there
was some friction between him and
myself, but this arose chiefly through
his desire to control appointments
and removals in my Department For
instance. he wanted the removal of
Sheriff Andrews of Hawaii, and was
averse to it and SO on, but returning
to his accusation that I had friction
with the Attorney Generals Depart
ment. call upon him again to make
his words good. and II Is q matter
where the proofs, II any, are In his
own keeping and should be available
at call.
A Lucid Charge.
Immediately following this accuse.
ton the Governor INDUCES in the fol.
lowing specific and lucid charge:
Those who need technical or legal
proof of these statements must indeed
be blind" | want any proof that the
Governor has of these statements, and
am willing to submit to the electors
whom 1t is that is blind.
Continuing with the Governors &C.
cusations that boys stepped in vice
were being sent to the Reform School.
] don't deny that. The Reform School
was established for the vicious, and
boys stepped in vice have always been
sent there, and are now being sent
there. II the Governor means thereby
that more boys than customary were
being sent, II we can guess that that
is what he means, ask for the verifi-
cation of that statement, and particu-
iarly that | was responsible for II. |
am not aware of the truth of either Of
these suggestions. So as to the sue.
ceeding charge that girls 13 and ii
years old were found intoxicated. l
have no doubt that was probably so.
and is so today.
| don't know what the Governor
means by his assertion that the "well.
known click of the gambling outfit
was heard on our main Streets" Do
you, or does anybody?
Again the Governor continues "the
stranger at the Young Hotel could
watch the clerks and young men.
night after night, in their shirt sleeves
gambling across the way. A police.
man in his uniform and on his beat
would show him, II he asked the en-
trance" | know nothing OF this; !
would like to have the evidence pre-.
scented not evidence that would con.
Wet man in court, but evidence such
as you Mr.. Governor or any other man
who has a reputation to lose and a
character to be DETAINED would want
in order to be able to make an intelli-
gent and specific answer, and in this
connection | wish to point out that If
gambling was In fact as rampant as
charged by the Governor; II the click
of the gambling outfit was heard on
the Streets II policemen would show
even strangers the entrance to the
open gambling dens, why was II that
Halter, who for three months running
must have heard the click In question
and seen the gambling, wasNnot able
to preserve, much less secure convic-
ton, for single gambling case before
the courts, though the results of his
entire work were laid before the
Grand Jury and indictments were
found where even there was any jus
tification at all for them. and perhaps
where there was not. judging from the
final results In court.
