CAMpBHL'S LETTERS

UAIlHDLll D HHLtO
Theodore Richards has answered the
letters sent him by Treasurer Camp
bell, which appeared in the Bulletin
last Saturday, as follows:
March "a.
/ Treasurer A. j. Campbell. Honolulu.
Il Dear Sir:-I have your letter Of
March 23d In answer to mine OF the
18th inst. note that the names OF
those who deny acknowledging sigma
lures on the petition of Sing Sing, Kai-
ualhi. Kona, the mentioned are Charles
IT. Simerson and W. f. Roy. My in
formant tells me that these were the
only two he approached. Your sug-
gestion about cur getting the sworn af-
Il fidavits Is not bad one and | would
be glad to do so did not think that II
devolves upon your department to do
so.
i In regard to the license of Shibaya-
ma you take exception to my remark
that representation was made to you
that all the property owners had signed
but one. My informant DR.. A. 5. Bak-
er, states as follows:
Mr.. Campbell was informed that
there was but one owner not down,
namely, Miss Anna Paris. There are
others,-John Smith, George Smith,
John Todd. w. j. Yates, John Atkins.
| have the fact stated likewise In agree
ment with your statement that there
was a longer petition OF October 2lst
pf japanese names thrown out.
| am making no charge against your
department for the issuance of that lie
ense but am merely restating my
claim made in the paper that there was
fraud in the obtaining OF II which, as
far as | know at present, does not in.
yolve your Office.
As to your final statement in the let
ter that we are not informed as to the
law, | would state that no great claim
on our part is made in this particular
pnd we are fortunate in having officials
that do know the law. enclose. how
ever. a copy OF our digest which may
interest you.
am in receipt OF yours Second let
teri of March 20 as the result OF our
communication through the papers.
should like to believe, Mr.. Campbell,
that you intended TO answer my letter
OF March 18th. and | will assume that
your previous letter OF March 23d did
= not come as the result OF our publica-
lion or the Governors conversation
With myself,
Now in the matter of your complaint
Us TO my statement of facts:
list. | did not state in my communi-
cation that any protest or petition had
come concerning the two licenses
! named. refer you to published inter-
Views in the paper and petitions sent
TO the Governor to corroborate my
statement that there has been con-
siderable interest aroused among the
people there by opposing petitions tor
saloons
I'd. | have already dealt with the
Shibayama petition but my statement
In the paper OF the eight names were
those which you finally sifted down II.
your office. The matter is irrelevant
anyhow since am not impugning your
self or your office for the issuance OF
that license. This thing | would like
to ask, since you had so many illegal
names attached to that petition, would
got 1t have been wiser for you as a
public official to look with suspicion
on the rest OF the names?
