the part he knows about 1.-The fear
created through the absolute power of
prosecution or persecution The sue
ceeding declamatory statement that
gambling was open and fragrant and
that corruption was rampant" 1 as
sumo was intended for an exhibition OF
the governors power of generalization
and diction, and l will leave it where
I found it the same having already
been specifically considered denied.
The governor then charges that the
greatest of friction existed between the
Police Department and that of the At
torney General.
1 deny the charge in toto, and I ask
the electors to bear in mind that the
Governor of the Territory has COM
mitted himself deliberately to the ac-
cusation that the greatest of fric-
ton existed between my department
and that of the attorney general, and
1 hold him to make his proofs of that
assertion, and if he has any manhood
or fair play in him he will comply with
this demand or back down on that

neither great nor any friction ever
existed between the Attorney Gener-
ais Department and mine while I was
sheriff, and after my removal Mr.. An

represent his department In the prose-
cution of cases notably at Kailua, and
I have also rendered assistance other

| The truth is the governor in inau-
| gurating the system of personal re-
ports to him did away with the system
by which / dealt with the Attorney
! Generals Department, and arranged it
so that I reported direct to him. This
move s I believe was not approved of
or liked by those representing the At
| torney Generals Department. In re-
! porting 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 in
/ stance, he wanted the removal of
Sheriff Andrews of Hawaii, and I 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 it is a matter
where the proofs if any are in his own
keeping and should be available at
call.
Immediately following this accusa-
ton the Governor INDUCES in the fol-
! lowing specific and lucid charge:
! Those who need technical or legal
proof of these statements must in
deed be blind I want any proof that
= the governor has of these statements.
and 1 am willing to submit to the
electors who it is that is blind.
Continuing with the governors ac-
cusations that boys STEPPED in vice
were being sent to the Reform School.
1 don't deny that. The Reform School
was established for the vicious and
boys steeped in vice have always been
sent there, and are now being sent
there. If the Governor means thereby
that more boys than customary were
being sent, if we can guess that that is
what he means, I ask for the verifi-
cation of that statement, and particu-
larly that I was responsible for it /
am not aware of the truth of either
of these suggestions SO as to the
years old We're found intoxicated. /
have no doubt that was probably so
and is so today.

means by his assertion that the well
known click of the gambling outfit was

to point out that if gambling was in
