McCandless says that he has not
made this an issue, then ] say he is II
liar"
This direct statement was the OPP
ening of the speech which Delegate
Kalanianaole made last night at the
big Republican meeting on the old |
Normal School lot on the corner of |
Fort and School streets.
"McCandless has promised a new !
land law providing for the giving of |
100 acres of land to each voter" con-
tinued the Prince. "TIe denies 1t now
but would like to see him deny It
In Hawaii or Maui. and his name
would be mud. lie plays on the SEN
timent of the people when he thinks
he can use 1t. but to the intelligent
people he says that he wants only the
principle of the Federal land laws
applied. Even If you could get 100
acres each, what could you do with
It? | admit that the land question
Is a serious issue, but McCandless has
no right to make promises which he
cannot fulfill. ] can get you any
thing that he could get you; II he
could get you 1G0 acres | could get

man to do with 100 acres? Coffee,
pineapples, tobacco, bananas, and 81

That is the main issue, protection for
sugar and those industries. You

longs to the party which stands for
protection. | am not a demagogue
like McCandless. l make no prom
ises which | cannot keep.
"McCandless says that the poor
people will derive no benefit from the
appropriations which had put
through for forts and harbor works
These vast appropriations are for the
benefit of the Hawaiian laboring men
in these Islands. You Hawaiians vii,
build Pearl HafborJ and deepen the
haibor and build the lighthouses.

publican party can safely stand upon

myself"
In this connection the Prince show
ed that he had done much for Hawai-
. by getting Hawaii and the Philip
pines separated in the fortiflcation
bill, as 1t was Taft's intention Il
lump the appropriations, and thel
to give the Philippines the best of /
when 1t came to the expenditure o
the amounts. AS 1t was, by separat
ing the items, Hawaii had gottel
100000 and the Philippines onl.
100000. TIL, Delegate. explaine,

had to do his work by getting power
full friends among the leaders. an,
he had acquired a number of sucl
friends.
The other very interesting featur
of the meeting was the speech mad
by John Cathcart, and the ovation
which he received both on mounting
and leaving the stand showed tina
. the people were in full sympath
with him.
