L. Il. McCandless said that the
Democrats had conducted clean cam
paign along issues that were important.
The Republicans on the other hand had
carried on a campaign of m1srepresen-
tation. Delegate Kuhio was repeating
the assertion that in the country dis
tricts McCandless had made speeches
of different tenor than those he made
in the towns. This was as much as
saying that Kuhio believed that the peo-
ple of the country districts were not
as intelligent as those in the towns.
This was as much as saying that ku-
hio believed that the people of the
country districts were not as inteili-
gent as those in the towns. For his
part, McCandless said, he believed the
people in the country were intelligent,
and that they knew what they wanted.
The Democratic party had circulated
twenty thousand copies of the Amer
lean Homestead Act throughout the
Territory. This showed the conditions
on which 100 acres could be secured by
American citizens from the pubic
lands there. But he had specifically
told them that he did not believe that
100 acres of cane land, or of rice land
or of taro land should be given TO any
one individual On the other side OF
this island seventy people had appll' 9
for public land and had asked for about
nineteen acres apiece. This showed
what sentiment was in regard to this
matter.
McCandless said that Kuhio in some

Candless said that there were gooC
MANY hundred acres of the public land
that were at this very moment in cam
cultivation. There were thousands o
acres more that were good agriculture
land. and there were other Thousand
of acres that were suitable for graz
ing.
