ernor's attack on his position and his
motives.
The letter given out by the Governor
this morning was as follows:
Hon. George r. Carter, Governor Of
the Territory of Hawaii, Honolulu,
Oahu.
"Sir:-After the article in the 'Ad-
vertiser' of the Sth inst, I deem it only
proper that our communications relat-
ing to Loan Expenditures be published.
1 am credibly informed that certain
newspapers desired to print such COM
munications, which request, 1 am in
formed, you refused. I now ask you to
give out for publication your letters of
September IA, 1905, and September 20,
1906 to me and my reply to you dated
September IS, 1905, all relating to this
subject.
Should I fail to hear from you in
this matter within a reasonable time,
shall take it upon myself to give these
communications publicity through the
newspapers. Very respectfully yours,
FL. L. McCANDLESS."
The correspondence which Senator
McCandless asked the Governor to make
public is as follows:
Sept. IA, 1905.
Senator L. L. McCnadless Honolulu.
My Dear Enthusiastically 1 was
informed that you had made the state
ment in a semi-public place, in regard
to the Loan Fund, that 1 was contem-
plating cutting it down, defying the in
structions of the Legislature and ignor-
ing the law, or rather taking it into my
own hands.
May I suggest that the prominent po-
sitiOn you hold and the highest interest
of this Territory can best be conserved
by our making a slight investigation of
the Acts passed before giving out any
such statement as the above. I shall be
very pleased to have you show me the
language of any statute making the
carrying out of the appropriations I'M
der the Loan Fund mandatory upon the
Administration.
Is very sincerely yours,
G. r. CARTER,
Governor.

Hix Elk. George r. Carter, Governor of
the Territory of Hawaii Honolulu,
Oahu.
Dear Sir:-I beg to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication of the
18th inst, in which you refer to my
having made certain remarks in a semi
public place concerning appropriations
under the Loan Fund, ana suggesting
that 1 make some slight investigation
of the Acts passed by the Legislature
before giving out any such statement.
In reply thereto, 1 will admit that 1
did make a statement concerning APP
preparations under the Loan Act to Mr..
l.. A. Thurston, stating that 1 believed
there was only one thing for you to do
and that was for you to carry out the
Loan Act as passed by the Legislature,
and 1 further stated to Mr., ThprstOn
that considered you were ignoring the
wishes of the Legislature, who repre-
sent the people, and asked him to call
upon you and urge you to carry out the
wishes of the Legislature in this mat
ter.
Regarding your asking me to inves-
tigate the Acts passed and being man
datory upon you to carry out the same,
I would refer you to Section As of the
Organic Act, which reads;
"Sec. 49, That, except as herein pro-
vided, (section 500 all bills passed by
the legislature shall, in order to be
valid, be signed by the governor"
Sections 40 and so of the Organic Act
read as follows:
Sec, 49, That every bill which shall
have passed the Legislature shall be GER
titled by the presiding officers and clerk
of both houses. and shall thereupon be
presented to the governor. If he APP
proves it, he shall sign it, and it shall
become a law. If the governor does not
approve such bill, he may return 1t,
with his objections, to the legislature.
He may veto any specific item or
items, in any bill which appropriates
money for specific purposes but shall
veto other bills, if at all, only as a
whole"
"Sec, so. That upon the receipt of a
veto message from the governor each
house of the legislature shall enter the
same at large upon its Journal and pro-
