1t was in connection with the fac
that his name has been appearing il
one connection or another with all the
states that have been published tha
Boyd had the most to say.
IT want to state that all this is
being forced upon me. have moi
been doing politics and am not in pol
itics, except that 1 use whatever in
f1uence I have to prevent and keer
down the race feeling that seems to be
cropping up. 1 have always worked
along the lines of fairness between
the two races here, insisting in what
| ever 1 advocated that both the white
voters and the Hawaiian voters
| should be treated equally and fairly.
1 have had no sympathy with any
such cry as Hawaii for the Hawai-
ians,' and 1 have always spoken
/ against its application in politics and
| in the preparation of our Republican
! tickets. Ny idea has always been, and
1 have always thought, that the Ha-
waiians, with their preponderance of
voting strength, and the whites, with
their preponderance of wealth.. should
come together and select the, best
men, giving equal representation to
each side.
But l have kept out of active poll
tics. In the Wallach matter 1 kept
still, and in view of this think that
the references made to me in the diff
ferent newspapers have been unfair.
think that the references of The By
stander have been both unjust and
uncalled for, and 1 consider that the
fact that 1 was acquitted of the
charges brought against me seven
years ago ought to prevent the con-
slant dragging up of that matter
against me every time my name is
mentioned. 4 have been in business
since that time, and thousands of dol
lars have. passed through my hands,
and not one person can accuse me of
anything dishonorable. think that
that ought to have some weight with
the people. 1 can not fight the news
papers, especially when I do not know
who writes the different articles"
FIGHT WILL BE TONIGHT.
In spite of the declaration of Mr..
Boyd that the garbage department
now is being run remarkably well and
economically, it is practically a GER
tainty that the resolution drawn up
by Charley Achi to change it will be
introduced into the business of the !
tonight. 1t will probably |

Harvey stated yesterday that he had |
had only one conversation with Achi |
during the past two months and was
in no wise politically allied with him.
It know that if we separate the
road and garbage departments it will
cost the county a few more dollars
to run it, but what can we do?" he
asked. 1.-The law says that no ene
man can be at the head of two de-
partments drawing a salary from
each. We didn't make the laws, our
I don't know anything about this
scheme to discharge Johnson. 1 know
that 1 voted against him before, the
same as 1 voted against Hustace. If
the Republicans want to turn those
TWO men down they can. They have
he votes to do it. What have 1 got
% do with the Republican party
scraps?
IT was opposed to Hustace on the
start I supported Archer for the ,
at his own request. 1
moved that he be elected, also at his ,
,wn request, and then he turned ,
around and voted against my motion. s
Vow they have Hustace, the man
hey wanted. Let them keep him or
-ote him out have done my duty
md it is up to them
will you vote to pay Brown his
Jack pay?" Harvey was asked.
THAT is another thing that is
gainst the law. 1 will not vote for =

ACHI DENIES HIS THREATS.
During the one conversation which {
Harvey says he has had with Achi,
he Laborite denied positively that he a
ad ever threatened Hustace with po- s
teal oblivion or stated that he had, Il
he Supervisors on his string to vote
S he wished. According to Harvey, .

as to ask him why he had not put a

lark, Isaac and the others.
''Why did you go to him for that?" I
sked Harvey. why did you not go t:
