my protest about having two counties
for Hawaii and I know 1 have got the
support of the house in favoring two
counties for Hawaii.
concerning the remarks made by
Senator Woods and Paris: Why, they
meant every word they said about kill
ing the county act and 1 knew they
had other friends of theirs in the Sem
ate to help them. This was the reason
why I supported the motion to have
one county for Hawaii. When the
county bill has passed third reading,
I will write to you and let you know
the rest
Yours respectfully,
(Signed) JOHN T. BROWN.
To H. Wears, Esq,
Secy. Board of Trade of Hilo.
And the Senators are wondering
whether that letter was written for
publication, or whether Senator
Browns pen has betrayed him into
the hands of bis enemies. For the let
ter might have been pretty good
politics-if privately circulated. 1t
might even be pretty good poll
tics published, if only people saw
it who favored the two county PROPOSE
ton. But. there are circumstances
that require explanation, perhaps.
In the first place while it is not ex-
plicitly so stated, there is a very clear
inference in the letter that Paris and
Palmer Woods went to their colleague
and coerced him into supporting the
one county proposition. In fact the
Hilo Tribune heads the story of the
letter Brown was Coerced,' and in
its introduction uses these words:
THE letter from Senator Brown
which was read at the Board of Trade
meeting. throws some light on the
log rolling being done at the legisla-
ture over the county bill"
Il never said a word to Senator
Brown about the county act in my
life said Palmer Woods yesterday.
II did say on the floor of the Senate
that I would vote against the bill if
it contained the two county provision.
And Chaplain Desha of the House told
me the one county amendment would
be carried through the House if 1
would agree on an equitabl division
of the Supervisors. But. to Brown.
I never said a word. All that I ever
said. that he could have heard, was on
the floor"
L uIu IlOI UldhS 1IIy dtlcIipL " CO-
cree Senator Brown on the county act, -
said Paris. 81 said on the floor of the
Senate that it would be suicidal to
make Hawaii into two counties-that
the people would be hanging a mill
stone about their own necks. But I
never said a word to Brown. nor to
anybody else that I did not say in the
open on the floor. 1 did not talk to
Brown privately about the bill at ali.
1 think that anybody who knows me
viii know that L would say openly and
in the face of all men whatever I have
to say"
And anybody who knows Senator
Paris will know that. But the ques-
lions arise. what does Senator Brown
mean by his letter. if he does not mean
that he was coerced by his colleagues
And what does he mean to tell the con-
ference committee that will restore the
two-county provision to the bill?
