about "thc fear created through the
absolute power OF prosecution or per-
Fecutlun.' The succeeding declamu-
tory statement that gambling was
open and fragrant and that corruption
was rampant" ! assume was intended
for an exhibition of the governors pow
or OF generalization and diction. and /
Will leave II where found Il the same
having already been specifically con-
sidered denied
The governor then charges that the
greatest Of friction existed between the
Police Department and that Of the At
torney General.
/ deny this charge Ia toto and / ask
the electors to bear I'm mind that the
Governor Of the Territory has commit
ted himself deliberately 10 the accusa-
tion that the greatest Of friction"
existed between my department and
that Of the attorney general, and ] hold
him TO make his proofs Of that asser-
ion, and II he has any manhood or fair
play in him he will comply with this
demand or back down on that asser-
ton l allege the truth 10 be that
neither great nor any friction ever
existed between the Attorney Generals
Department and mine while / was She
riff, and after my removal Mr.. Andrews
engaged me several times TO represent
his. department i'm the prosecution Of
cases notably at Kailua, and ] have
also rendered assistance otherwise I'M
certain criminal cases
The truth is the governor in nau-
gurating the system Of personal reports
to him did away with the system by
which / dealt with the Attorney Cen
erals Department, and arranged it so
that I reported direct to him. This
move as 1 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 my
! self, but this arose chiefly through his
desire to control appointments and re-
movals in my department. For instance
/ he wanted the removal of Sheriff
Andrews Of Hawaii, and / was ayerse
/ to it and so on, but returning to his
accusation that had friction with the
Attorney Generals Department, ] call
upon him again to make his words good
! and it is matter where the proofs II
any are i'm his own keeping and should
be available at call.
| Immediately following this accusa-
ton the Governor INDUCES I'm the fol-
lowing specific and lucid charge Those
who need technical or legal proof Of
these statements must indeed be blind"
I want any proof that the governor
has of these statements, and ] am will
ing to submit to the electors who it is
that is blind.
Continuing with the governors ac-
cusations that boys stepped i'm vice
were being sent to the Reform School
l don't deny that The Reform school
was established for the vicious ana
boys stepped in vice have always been
sent there, and are now being sent
there. If the Governor means thereby
that more boys than customary We're
being sent, if we can guess that that rs
what he means, ! ask for the veriica-
ton Of that statement, and particular
ly that was responsible for H. ] ann
not aware of the truth of either Of these
suggestions. SO as to the succeeding
charge that girls 10 and IA years ola
were found intoxicated J have no
doubt that was probably So and is so
today.
