iff, and certainly I am not going TO
allow myself to be put in nomination
for any office on any ticket on which
he appears.
st have not the least doubt that I
have made an enemy of Achi in re-.
fusing to appoint on the police force
men recommended by him, because I
did not think they were the class of
men I wanted to have around me.
do not doubt that have made ene-
mics in my own party by refusing to
put on the force the men in that party
who are office-chasers and from whom
/ could not expect efficient work. My
one endeavor has been so to conduct
police affairs that when I leave this
office it will be with a clean and hon.
orable record. 1 will not, SO far as
1 am able, keep one man on the force
who is a CRATER or who is even sus-
pected of being one, and have ap-
pointed men only whom I believe to
be both honest and capable, not the
heelers of Achi or anyone else.
In so far as anyone thinking that
I would approve of any plot to have
Hustace voted out of the chairman-
ship of the Supervisors. I wish to say
that 1 would be very sorry to see any
such motion carry. In spite of the
fact that there has been friction be-
tween Hustace and myself when
thought he was interfering in my de-
partment, personally I have never
questioned the honest intentions OF
Hustace nor the value of having an ex-
perienced business man such as he ia
at the head of the board. Without
d'sparaging in any way any of the
other Supervisors, I think that Hus-
tace is the best man in the board for
chairman.
TIME TO DROP PARTY LINES.
In the whole matter of local politics
citizens should disregard party lines
for the time being and unite in seeing
that good men are nominated and
elected~to all our offices. talked with
the Delegate today on this same mat
ter and he was in thorough acccr /.
1t is time that those who are in peli-
= CHI oa
set aside in the interest of good and
honest government. Within the week
| talked with w. A. Kinney and he
also favored such action. Political
| spoilsmen and heelers should not have
the sway they have in the direction
| Of our public affairs and they would
not if those who want good govern
ment would combine to elect good
| men.
| speaking as a Hawaiian, I must
say that l am opposed to the placing
in positions of trust of Hawaiians who
have already proved that they are not
| Trustworthy. men who have had their
! dav and proved unworthy of conf
! dence. There is now. 1 regret very
much to say, a feeling that Hawaiians
| are not capable of holding positions OF
| trust. and how can we remove this
| feeling if those Hawaiians who have
| already proved faithless be the ones
now selected for office? In this coun-
| try there is a desire to have Hawai-
Iians in office The whites have shown
| that desire. but what support can We
| as Hawaiians consistently ask from
| the whites if our nominees and ap'
| pointees are such as some OF those VINO
| have been talked about?''
ACHI BACK OF BROWN.
! It is expected now that the matter
of the back pay of Prosecuting Attorney
a. NJ Brown will be discussed OF
| Tuesday night. with the possibility OF
the Supervisors allowing it. In con
nection with the Brown appointment
and his ultimate confirmation by tht
Supervisors. it is being stated that
i Achi pulled the strings, his idea be
ing that Brown would in turn throw
his political strength TO Achi. Whether
there is any such agreement between
Brown and the Boss can not be learn
ed to any degree of definiteness, hu
it is said that at any rate Brown
does not propose to use for himsel
any political strength he may have left
