Neither the residents of Waiohinu
nor the Delegate, at the time he made
his speech there, appear to have been
acquainted with the facts above set
forth, and the residents depending upon
he former assurances of the Governor,
as to the opening of the homesteads,
naturally inferred from the lapse Of
time, that the Governor was not carry
ing out what he had originally led them
to believe that he would carry out
'Hence, during his speech the Dele
gate was confronted with these sup
posed facts and called upon to state
why the Governor had not carried out
his promise.
sit now appears that the Delegate
did not 90 further than to state that
if the Governor had so promised and
had not carried out his promise, the
Governor had gone back on his promise.
~ have said, as stated above, that
the conference was entirely satisfactory,
because the Delegate after talking with
me and ascertaining the facts of the
case has treated the matter man-fashion
and with squareness. 1t does not seem
necessary to say anything more on the
subject for that reason.
las soon as possible the residents
of Waiohinu, who on account of being
not informed, made the representations
which misled the Delegate, will be in
formed of the correct facts of the case
and the incident will be closed.
''The Delegate has joined with me in
issuing this statement.
Staggered Politicians.
Republicans and Democrats alike
were rather dumfounded when they
read Delegate Kalanianaole s interview
in the Sunday Advertiser respecting the
princes then differences of opinion
with Governor Frear. Republicans, who
have had something to say in the past
as to the manner of conducting Prince
KuhiO s campaign, expressed the belief
that he was cutting his supports from
under him, while the Democrats regard
ed Kuhio S first campaign move as one
which will give them an added oppor-
tunity to slip their own candidate into
congress.
Senator Charles Chillingworth stated
that the Hawaiians who have read Ku-
HOS interview believe that he has
made a mistake, and that if the Re
publican party is to win now it will
be by sheer force of hard work in re-
pairing the fences that the prince has
broken down in his sudden stampede.
''That talk of the prince has GER
tainly astonished me and it has made
lot of Republican leaders rather
angry said he. ''The prince appar-
emily was none too strong on Hawaii
and yet he gives out a statement which
will not aid in making the party
stronger, but will have a tendency to
divide our forces. 1t seems to me, IN
der the circumstances, as if some of our
best support here would be Iost.''
The senator took a rather blue view
of the situation and as the prince s
first move toward the coming 1910 cam
paign believes it was ill-advised.
Motive Imputed.
Many like expressions were to be
heard wherever politicians gathered,
while the Democrats were openly ex-
ultant.
There was a general question of:
'What is Kuhio thinking of?'' while
opinions were about evenly divided as
to whether he was deliberately MAIN
ing the Republican party in order to
strengthen an independent party, of
which he would be the leader. or
| whether he purposed throwing his
strength to the Democrats What other
reason he may have had, no one could
| imagine.
Kuio's recantation will not alto
| gether heal up the breach created,
although it will do much to smooth
